Why Your Forks Don't Deflect As Much As They Used To - Episode 59

Technique has gotten better 

• You see things more clearly and know what is going to happen 
• That means you anticipate it and use it to your advantage 
• You shift your weight better  - so much of this is your body position 
• Line choice is better now 

Your tolerance level is higher 

• Things that you used to think were horrible are now not really even noticeable - you realize the chassis can handle so much more - you've seen it a thousand times 
• You are looser or more free on the bike - free flowing and light 

Suspension is better now 

• For many of us, we started on MX bikes with MX suspension 
• Manufacturers have started to realize that most of use don’t need suspension for crusty demons of dirt episode 17 - we want the suspension to move out of the way 
• For me, I’m using TUbliss with only 6-8 lbs of pressure now… not 15 lbs - don’t over pressure!
