Listen "Why You're Not Using the Front Brake and How to Fix It with Jamie Garrod from New Zealand Mountain Biking"

Episode Synopsis

On today's episode, we've got Jamie Garrod on board to talk about the ins and outs of using the front brake. We've seen riders with as little as 1% front brake, but a few simple confidence hacks have seen them grow to consistent 20/80 f/r splits.
We're spilling the beans on why so many riders are shy about hitting the front brake, and we've got Jamie Garrod on board to talk about the ins and outs of using the front brake. Jamie is a Kiwi mountain biking guru who does lessons and tours right here in Rotorua, NZ, and today he's dishing out his top three tips to get you buddy-buddy with that front brake.
This isn't your average "how to" – we're keeping it real and casual. Whether you're a trail rookie or a seasoned pro, Jamie's wisdom is about to level up your two-wheeled game.
