How to Pump Mountain Bike: Tips and Techniques for Better Riding
To pump a mountain bike, start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Hold onto the handlebars and push down on the pedals. As you reach the bottom of the pedal stroke, lift your body up by straightening your legs and pulling up on the handlebars. This will help you generate speed and momentum on the trails. You can continue to pump by repeating this motion in a rhythmic pattern. Remember to stay loose on the bike and maintain your balance as you pump.
