Bukit Timah MTB Trail | My First Ride on the New Feature

#santacruzbicycles #bukittimah #mountainbike

The new switchback on the Bukit Timah Mountain Bike Trail is an exciting addition for cyclists. It’s a section of the trail that involves a sharp turn, often at a steep angle, challenging riders to navigate the highlights of the terrain. Switchbacks are commonly used on mountain bike trails to manage elevation changes and provide thrilling descents after the climbs. In this case, the new switchback adds variety and technical difficulty to the trail, making it more engaging for riders.

Remember, safety comes first!

- Speed Control:
Approach the switchback at a controlled speed. Sharp turns can be challenging, especially if you’re going too fast.

- Body Position:
Maintain a balanced body position. Keep your weight centered over the bike to improve stability.

- Look Ahead:
Look ahead and anticipate the turn. Focus on where you want to go rather than the immediate obstacle.

- Braking Technique:
Use both brakes judiciously. Feather the brakes to slow down without skidding.

- Practice:
If you’re new to switchbacks, practice on less technical trails first.
