Transalp Challenge Skills Masterclass 2 - Jumps, with Steve Turner

Steve Turner takes a BAD fall Steve Turner first shot to fame in MBR with his effortless demonstration of classic mountain bike jump technique. Now we have the opportunity, through Steve's no-nonsense approach, to apply his lessons to our everyday riding. Hey, nobody says it like the king, so we'll let Steve take over in his own words...

"Stick to the basics, guys, do them well, and everything else will flow from there. Get your seat up way too high, lean forward and stiffen your body as you hit that ramp, and hold onto your bike no matter what happens. If you think you are gonna crash - simple - just wish it weren't so. Mind over matter will ensure you land that jump perfecto. Guys will want to BE you, girls will want to be WITH you. Party on, dudes!".

Steve hopes to record his jump technique DVD in early 2007, when the titanium plates are removed from his shoulders.
