Michael Guilford specialises in coaching gravity f Michael Guilford specialises in coaching gravity focused mountain bikers, preparing them for Downhill & Enduro races.

Many mountain bikers head straight for steep, technical trails—only to find their cornering confidence and speed don’t improve. One of the biggest reasons is skipping the basics.

If you want to ride steep corners smoothly and with control, you need to know when to release the brakes, let the bike roll, and trust your technique. The secret? Start small, build your skills in a safe environment, and then progress to harder trails.

In this guide, Michael shares a simple cornering progression he uses with downhill & enduro riders to help them gain speed, control, and confidence when descending.
