How do you train for steep Uphill Switchbacks
I would like to know how to negotiate a steep uphill switchback similar to the singletrack trail in the 09 TLBF. Honestly, for me, I just dismount and walk.
Anyway, your 2 cents will be appreciated. thanks.

for me....sometimes this "dismount and walk" is more effecient than push yourself to ride a steep uphill switchback para lang hindi mag lactic ung legs mo. Pero if you done it before and you think you can make in then mas maganda.

Find a steep uphill with switchbacks and train on it! J/K
Seriously though, when you say "training", are you talking about technique or endurance?
If it's technique, then the video is perfect and practice on any steep hill that has a steep driveway and perhaps even draw a switchback with some chalk then practice. Better yet, find just one nice switchback on your favorite training hill and just practice over and over again. That's what I did.
If it's endurance...well, just keep climbing hills.

akyat ka ng baguio
we have a variety of switchbacks here to whet your appetite
ride with someone who has a camera
with that fact in mind, you will try not to dismount and walk on the switchback
