How to Master the Art of Turning on Your Mountain Bike
To turn on a mountain bike, shift your weight to the side that you want to turn towards. Keep your outside pedal down and apply pressure to it to corner more efficiently. Use your arms to steer the handlebar and look where you want to go to initiate the turn. Practice leaning the bike in the direction of the turn and turning your head and shoulders to follow your line. Remember to keep your body relaxed and maintain your speed through the turn.
