Master the Skill: How to Do a Burnout on a Mountain Bike Like a Pro
A burnout on a mountain bike can be done by locking the rear wheel and spinning it while keeping the front wheel stationary. To do this, start by pedaling fast and shift your weight back while applying the rear brakes hard. Once you feel the back tire start to skid, release the brakes while continuing to pedal fast. Use your weight to maintain balance and control while spinning the back wheel. Remember, a burnout can put extra wear on your tires so use this trick cautiously and sparingly.
