Hey everybody, Coach Jonathan here. I wanted to take a quick moment to introduce this special episode you're about to listen to.

A few months back we worked with Lee McCormick, a mountain bike skills instructor from LeeLikesBikes.com on improving our mountain bike skills.

Coach Chad, Nate and I worked with him for a couple days on refining our skills on a few basic principles.

And the podcast you're about to listen to now is a behind the scenes discussion with Lee on those principles and what we worked on during those days.

Now you can also go on to our YouTube channel and you can see a video that not only has a discussion, a separate discussion between Chad, Nate and I about this, but it also shows what we are working on and how we improved.

And you can go to blog.trainerroad.com to get a blog post that has the same information there and has all of this stuff all in one place for you.

So check that out, enjoy this episode and let us know if you have any questions at trainerroad.com slash podcast.

Lee McCormick MTB skills instructor. What's up, Lee? Hey, you guys. Thanks for having me out here. Yeah, our pleasure.

So let's go over Lee. I don't know if you're the type to brag very much, but you're you have to have the best selling book on mountain bike skills, right?

Of all of them. Yeah, by like an order of magnitude. Yeah, all time of all time. What's it called? It's called the big book. I've written nine books now. Okay.

The big book is called mastering mountain bike skills. Brian Lopes is on the cover of that one and the two editions of sold well over a hundred thousand copies.

And the third edition is at the printer now. It'll be out in fall. Okay. So if somebody's listening to this and they get inspired to buy the book,

should they wait for the fall printing or should they buy it twice?

Yeah, but really that means twice.

You know, the thing to do would be to, yeah, wait for fall. And then if you want to get after the shredding soon and later, go to llbmtb.com. That's my online school.

And that's the newest best thinking that actually is newer and better than the new book. And also has video and we have an interactive community.

So that's that's the best. That's the best. If the book is like a field manual to have there with you and keep that one is reference, right?

So it's really like the book is like written for like bathroom length sessions. And it's like a lot of people have in the bathroom.

A lot of people have in their gear bag. So when they're road tripping up to like a downhill race to like pick a thing to think about, you know, one thing at once, right?
