Cycling on trails and in the forests can feel hard and difficult to learn at the start. But there are plenty of tricks and tips to apply to learn faster and master more difficult trails<\/a> in the terrain. Here are some short cuts to make cycling easier and more fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic technique<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Train basic technique on flat ground or in one of the easier XC bike trails 30 minutes every day: stand still on the bike, practice curving, dare to tilt the bike in curves and practice on bunny hop (and what that really is you can read more about further down).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Bike on narrow boardwalks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Maintain a balanced riding position with your weight evenly distributed over the bike, keep your eyes looking well ahead, and carry enough speed to ride smoothly across the boardwalk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bike with a guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hire a guide, then you\u2019ll get technique tips, more enjoyable cycling and you won\u2019t get lost. \u00c5re is swarming with skilled cyclists and biking companies<\/a> who can share their expertise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bunny hop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Bunny hop is perhaps the most useful technique you can learn. If you can bunny hop you\u2019ll be able to learn jumping, overcome unexpected obstacles and get a much more playful and fun cycling. A bunny hop means that with the help of your body and technique you lift the front wheel and then the rear wheel in one and the same movement. You can compare it to an ollie on a skateboard that gives the same effect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
