How to Corner by SGC coach Steve Smith

 I just stick my inside foot out mx style, turn the handlebar a bit and give it a little lean, and give my rear brake a firm squeeze until my bike pointing the right direction, and then start sprinting out like Sam Hill in his earlier years. O wait...

I mean I build berms on every corner and ride them over and over until they're nice and carved then make a video showing how I rail them on a blingy DH bike and tell people who ride singletrack (majority on lighter shorter travel bikes or even hardtails) with flat twisty corners lined with trees, rocks, roots, ruts, and brush, on loose dirt and/or mud, to do what they always do, slow down and look ahead (got to love the summer months with weeds/brush growing 5' up that make vision rather limited).

*bitter sarcasm*

Seriously, I don't find his commentary very useful (jargon or already knew that much), but the visuals are fairly helpful. I like how he naturally countersteers (turns his bike a little into the outside of the turn, but keeps his body more on the inside of the turn) to get his lean and body position dialed. I think I might have picked up some pointers just looking at his body position and form, but to put that into use on my local trails...

I guess the point of the video is basically to advertise the camp, allow the pros to explain their jargon, allow you to see them in action some more, and make a summer vacation out of it, riding bikes downhill. It'd make a nice vacation for the guys who are far from mtn resorts, which would open up future vacations to Whistler, Highland, Northstar, etc. which would've normally intimidated folks who thought they weren't ready. Gets their foot in the door, showing passionate mtn bikers another side of the sport that can truly be a rush.
