Building Confidence on Descents

From Hesitation to Control

Descending can be thrilling — or intimidating. Confidence comes from understanding how to stay in control at speed.

Lower your center of gravity, keep your weight balanced, and stay loose on the bike. Avoid stiff movements, as they reduce your ability to react to terrain changes.

Start small, build gradually, and trust your progression. Confidence isn’t instant — it’s built one descent at a time.
