Pro Secrets - Nailing Narrow Trails With Robbie Jenks

Riding narrow trails can be daunting, since they're usually confining for a reason: There's not enough room for something wider due to a quirk in the topography. The trail might be on the razor-edge top of a ridge, it could be a goat path on the side of a mountain, or there might be more treacherous obstacles next to it.

That last example is the case here, a narrow trail leading out of a gully that was tricky enough, but a bunch of rocks next to the trail threatened to rip your feet off the pegs-if those rocks didn't first lure you into them due to target fixation.

Of course, when Red Bull KTM's Robbie Jenks came upon the section, he blazed through without drama-a perfect display of the skills that earned him the 2006 AMA National Hare Scrambles Championship. When we cornered him later, he was perfectly willing to share his secrets.
