How to Master the Art of Sliding Your Rear Wheel on a Mountain Bike
To slide the rear wheel of a mountain bike, you need to shift your weight backwards, approach an obstacle, and then initiate a skid by either pulling the rear brake or pressing down hard on the pedals. As the rear wheel loses traction, you can steer the bike with your hips and slide in the desired direction. It takes practice and proper technique to master this skill and use it effectively on the trail.
