Strong Legs and Little Arms - Technical MTB Climbing Tips to Crush Tech Trails! [RNL Quick Rip]

Why do some mountain bikers love technical climbing while others dread it? In this episode of the Ride and Laugh MTB Podcast, we dive into MTB climbing techniques, debating big gear vs granny gear, standing vs seated climbing, cadence vs leg power, and why rocky technical climbs can actually be more fun than smooth fire road grinds. We break down momentum, torque, pedal cadence, traction, and technical climbing strategy, plus how different riders (and even eMTBs) approach steep mountain bike climbs. What’s your climbing style—sit and spin in an easy gear or stand and hammer a big gear like Sage’s “dinosaur legs”?  Join the conversation and leave your comments below or email us at [email protected] The video version of this episode is also available on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/FoThr_jx5RI  The Ride and Laugh MTB podcast is hosted by Dan @the_ride_abides and Sage @TrailSage.  Join us as we discuss all things mountain biking!  Riding technique, MTB gear, bikes, nutrition, fitness, mindset and more!
