- It's cold, it's gloomy but I know just the place
where I can ride indoors nice and warm
and be brushing up on those trails skills too.
(upbeat music)
We're doing something a little bit different today.
We're here on the E-Bike,
we're here at Rush Skate Park in the UK.
We're taking a look at some skate park skills
that you guys can learn to take to the trails.
Loads of things in there from drops, jumps, steep shoots,
everything that's gonna translate out on the trail.
The bonus, we're not gonna be getting wet.
We're not gonna be getting cold.
It's nice and warm and I've already got a sweat on.
(upbeat music)
First thing's first,
a high tail's gonna be better than a full suspension bike
in a skate park.
If you are riding a full suspension bike,
just make sure that suspension's set up nice and firm.
As firm as you can get it, front and rear.
If you've got soft suspension any transition
or any part of the skate park
can be loosing a lot of energy in those transitions.
So just make sure it's hard.
When talking about hard,
make sure your tires are nice and hard too.
You want at least 40 psi in those tires
if you're riding in the skate park, just allows that tire
to stay a lot more predictable,
and a lot more less rolling resistance
when it comes to hitting the ramps too.
Get that saddle dropped down out of the way
as well get that nice and low,
you don't want to be getting tangled up on that.
You want to be able move behind the bike and forward.
Think about what power mode you're in as well.
You don't need any power
whatsoever really in the skate park.
You can run a nice low eco mode.
Make that battery last all day.
If you're a clip-less pedal user,
think about sticking a set of flats on as well,
easy way to get off the bike then.
And also think about how clean your bike is.
Don't turn up to the skate park
with a dirty Mining bike with all mud falling off of it
all over the place,
'cause the first skateboarder that hits that clump of mud
from your tires, isn't gonna be happy.
(upbeat music)
Normally it's a pretty casual environment
so a T-shirt and a set of jeans should suffice.
But underneath that I always like
to run knee pads, shin pads,
full-finger gloves, and a helmet.
It's up to you how much protection you want to wear,
a skate park can be a really dangerous place.
So think about what you're wearing
when you come to the park.
(upbeat music)
So if you come to ride at the skate park,
there's a thing called skate park etiquette.
In here usually there's going to be BMX'ers,
skateboarders, scooter riders,
you name it, they're all here,
and they all use different lines as well.
So just be super aware when you're riding
that you're not going to crash into someone,
or someone's gonna drop in in front of you.
Skateboarders can use a lot of different lines
to bikes as well.
Bikes usually wait their turn for each rider
to drop in and do their run.
Don't take the minute when it comes to doing your run too.
Think of all the other park users, not just yourself.
(upbeat music)
So in each skate park, you'll find a street area,
normally lots of ledges, rails, things like that.
Behind me, you've got three different sized ledges,
an ideal place to learn how to drop off.
Start small, start medium, then work your way
up to the bigger, on the other side,
we've actually got a land in so we can do
like a proper drop off, like we find out in the trails.
Let's start with the small one first.
(upbeat music)
So these drops are exactly the same
as you'd find out in the trail.
The technique's exactly the same too.
We just come up, nice rolling speed,
your good foot forward, get that speed set
before you enter the drop, come in, give that fork
a little squash, pick that front wheel up nice and high,
get your weight back and keep that front end nice and high
as you can come into the landing.
Don't forget this is to flat, so ideally,
you need to be landing rear wheel first,
absorbing that shock as you land,
and ride away nice and smoothly.
So what I've been doing on this ledge set
is riding it one way, but I'm looking at riding it
the other way, I can see this way,
there's a nice drop into a bank.
Also, if I ride it back the other way,
I can jump up onto the box
and land in the landing down there.
To mix up my lines, getting creative, mixin' it up,
just like it was on the trail.
(upbeat music)
The key to riding in skate parks is all about line choice.
I mean, if you look everywhere here,
I can see there's a drop off there to a landing,
a drop off here to a landing, a nice, big, long drop
into another landing there.
Literally, everywhere, open your eyes
and make that park work for you.
(upbeat music)
Let's take a look at how we're gonna drop
into some of these ramps.
Some of them can be really steep over vert,
especially on the quarter pipes, things like that.
But these flatter bank's a really good way
of learning how to tackle these steep descents.
First thing's first, if you got a hard tail,
just wheel it over, make sure that your chain ring's
actually gonna clear the edge of that ramp first,
bearin' in mind if you're on a full-suspension bike,
it's probably gonna sag, especially with your weight on it,
meaning that chain ring's gonna catch.
It might run the risk of diggin' in
and flipping you over the handles bars,
something like that, so just check
that that chain ring clears first.
As we come into the shoot, we just need our pedals level.
We're not doing any peddling, we're just rolling,
focused on the entry point, get that bike nice and straight.
Keep the bars straight, keep the weight back
as you drop into the ramp, keep that weight back
all the way down as you approach the bottom of the run-in.
As you hit the bottom of the ramp,
there's usually quite a jeer out in a skate park.
It's quite a nice, smooth transition,
but when the wheels hit that,
the bike's really gonna accelerate
so just be ready for that at the bottom.
(upbeat music)
So in front of me here,
I found this really nice, mellow bank.
This is ideal to learn how to ride that steeper stuff
at the skate park, nice run out.
Not gonna hit my chain ring, it looks really perfect to me
on my first drop in to those steep shoots.
(bike clicks) (upbeat music)
Another great feature you're gonna find at the skate park
is these roll-in shoots, they're really steep.
They're often used for getting your speed up
for big jumps in the foam pits, ResiRamps,
things like that.
But these transfer across to the trail really well.
They're the equivalent of riding a steep shoot
out in the trails, let's take a look at riding it.
(upbeat music)
So what do you do when the ramp's too steep
that your actual chain ring hits the edge.
This is how we're gonna do it.
Basically, all we do is turn our entry into it sideways
so we need to approach a ramp sideways
and do like a side-off end, making sure
lifting that front wheel up, scooping the back end up
and then dropping into ramps sideways, lookin' ahead.
It's a bit of an advanced technique,
but if you drop into these ramps forwards,
your chain ring is gonna hit.
And you are probably gonna crash or damage your chain ring.
It's not all smooth plywood here at the skate park.
Often, if you're in a street section,
you're gonna find a big set of steps.
Steps are a really good way of recreating those steep,
rocky shoots that you find out there on the trails.
(upbeat music)
Talking of steeps, it doesn't get any steeper
than this thing, this is called the vert wall.
It's actually vertical at the top.
So if you get used to riding this thing at the skate park,
next time you hit that little tiny shoot
at your local trails, it's gonna become a breeze
after riding down this vertical wall.
(upbeat music)
When it comes to climbing on your E-Bike
at the skate park, you're gonna be pretty impressed
at what you can get out of harnessing that power
from the motor, even things like this massive vert wall
in front of me can be conquered.
Let's give this one a go. (upbeat music)
So even a little section like this can really good fun.
If this was in the woods, this would be a little climb
littered with some roots, rocks, things at the top,
little technical thing.
You can limit your run up, you can get more speed into it
and jump up there, or you could start where I am
and make it more technical.
You can also flip it around, it becomes a drop off
as you come backwards, loads of fun to be had
on the street section, just use a bit of imagination.
You'd be surprised what lines are gonna be there.
(upbeat music)
Jumping, we all love jumping.
That feel of getting air underneath your wheel
and your E-Bike feels amazing,
and the skate park is a perfect place for this.
In front of me here, we got a nice, small table top.
It's exactly the same as you'd find out in the trail.
Nice, smooth transition going up.
Nice, smooth transition going down,
and a nice run out, perfect.
If you wanna take it to the next step,
there's bigger jumps, there's ResiRamps,
there's foam pits, skate park is full of jumps
and loads of places to get air underneath those wheels.
(upbeat music)
(bike clicks)
So here, I've found something that's gonna replicate
a double out in the trail.
This is a jump with a gap in,
so this is a nice, predictable take off, no rocks, roots,
things like this on the run-in.
Nice, smooth, predictable all the way up.
Big landing for me to land on.
This is gonna help me loads when it comes
to hitting the doubles out in the trails.
(upbeat music)
So once you've got those basic skills down,
it's time to think about lines.
Lines is where you link one obstacle to the next,
and then, that obstacle to the next one,
doing a whole run, much like you do out in the trails
when you link one ramp to another jump to a drop off.
Getting those lines down is gonna make you
a really good skate park rider.
It's gonna make you an even better trail rider too.
(upbeat music)
There you go, I really hope you enjoyed today's video
on learning things at the skate park
that you can take to the trails too.
Really good work out, I've definitely got a sweat on,
and I'm definitely out of breath too.
