A Manual of Beginning
to Advanced Technique
Warningl
This book contains information and techniques that can cause severe damage to
the environment, to others, and to yourself.
Damag to the Environment: Some will criticize this book with its descrir>
tions of dyno-moves, skid turns, pivot turns, etc., as being irresponsible and even
dangerous to the sport of mountain biking. Everyone loves the racers, the em-
bodiment of dynamic riding, but some feel we shouldn't teach beginners to be
too dynamic because they'll automatically abuse the environment. The problem
of slob riders mutilating trails is not a matter of too much information, it's a
behavior problem. Some places can be ridden wildly (active timbering areas,
race courses, powerlines) while some shouldn't be ridden at all (most trails on
rainy days, designated wilderness areas, etc.) It's up to the individual rider to
learn the difference and ride accordingly. Environmental awareness, safety and
courtesy should always be your prime consideration in this decision.
Damage to Others and Yourself: Fun Hogs wilding on high-speed metal
contraptions across irregular terrain create a recipe for danger if ever there was
one. Each rider must recognize the danger inherent in the sport and accept
responsibility for his/her actions on a mountain bike. As for self-inflicted injuries,
it all boils down to simple physics: the faster you go, the harder you hit. The
rider alone controls the severity of any crash. Remember .. . Gravity: It isn't just a
good idea; it's the law.

A Manual of Beginning to
Advanced Technique by
Wdliam Nealy
I
•
If you're looking for the ultimate mountain
bike guide for the totally honed, welcome to
William (Not Bill) Nealy's world.
Nealy's expertise (acquired through years of crash-
and-burn) enables him to translate hard-
learned reflexes and instinctive responses into
easy-to-understand drawings: drawings that \"'iTI
make you a much better rider.
Nealy's cartoon illustrations combine insight
with humor and knowledge with humiliation. So,
if you are ready to shorten the learning curve and
master the advanced techniques of mountain
biking, get ready to have some laughs and log
a few miles with William Nealy.
