The science of Mountain Bike riding
The book, available on Amazon, has the ambition to teach MTB riding technique by explaining the laws of physics that govern the dynamics of this sport.
How many times have you taken lessons or seen online tutorials that explained how to do it without telling you the real reason, often limiting themselves to describing some feelings. Understanding why to perform certain actions helps to learn and perfect them faster.
Everyone can understand the explanations, no scientific knowledge is required. This book is for both beginners and experts who want to improve their driving techniques, including instructors and MTB schools.

It is divided into five chapters:
- The first one explains the concept of weight distribution. It shows how the "attack position" is the ideal one to deal with the roughness of the ground.
- The second is about curves and all their variables.
- The third chapter discusses the concept of "active driving", fundamental to have fun and tackle obstacles safely. It refers to the most common skills (wheeling, manual, bunny hop, nose press, etc.).
- The fourth shows the analogy between a rider and an astronaut when dealing with jumps and drops.
- The fifth one analyzes how the geometries available on the market affect driving and its stability. Also, what all riders fear, i.e. falling.
