Roots are one of the trickiest things to ride in mountain biking! Cutting them out of the trail makes for boring smooth bike highways with very little soil retention in the winter months, so in most parts of the world, they’re vital for good, fun trails! With that in mind, you’d better learn to live with them, and not just that, you’d better learn how to tackle them in a range of conditions, from bone dry and dusty where they can offer a lot of grip and support, to wet and greasy where they are the slipperiest surface imaginable.
