  I`m going to put that on constant replay whilst I`m training 

[billstup]

Fook me whens it start to get a bit easier 

I`m working my bollocks off every other day on the exercise bike, but I still couldn`t make it all the way around the Herne Bay track last week

BMX is a sprint based discipline and you are doing cv work, it will make you fitter but not help with sprinting 400m or so that makes up a bmx race

you need to do sprints (outside on the bike you race) a couple of times a week, this will build your explosive power and help your recovery rate
Remember, sprinters dont run marathons in training

following on from dingo,it's also about upper body strengh,your shoulders and arms are pulling  &  pushing too.

I used to do 20 sprints on a long steep hill from a standing start each night, i'd also alternate daily with a gym session working on upper body strength and a 8 mile ride the other nights.  I'd usually practise at a track saturdays then race 20" and cruiser on a sunday at every meet, sometimes with only a 3 moto break in between classes

Went unbeaten for nearly 3 years so must have worked tho

The trick to it is the sprinting and explosive power but the upper body strength needs work as it assists in the control of the bike

Yeah but you were never 42 years old Nik 

I`m doing sprints in with my training, it`s the sprints that get my heart rate up to 173 bpm

I suppose I better start thinking about doing some training before next season

Have another stella and consider all this good advice would be my advice

word brother!

I'm going to France for a week in Feb to ride tracks and trails.  That should be good training.

I'd rather jump stuff and come near the back than come near the front but not jump owt.

[billstup]

Don`t be getting too fit Mike 

That sounds like fun in France though

Find a nice hill and sprint DOWN it. It don't mean a thing if you ain't got that spin!!!!!!!!
Now that's a Pro-tec top tip for free.

Well if you ever turn up to a race then we can test that tip

All in good time my 'ol mukka. I got a plan see...........

[Humps00]

I got a plan see...........

..... which starts with getting rid of two and a half tons of American muscle??  See it's gone from the avator so has it gone in reality too??  Now just explain to us what possessed you to buy it Tim??  And your training starts when!!??  Humps 

[Pro-tec]

Can't get a thing past you can I Sherlock Humps. Yes, the beast had to go. Got tired of fixing it after every run!!!! Got my money back though so all's well. The guy who bought it is planning a full custom with bouncy hydraulics and flame thrower exhausts!!!!! He's moving back to his native New York in Spring and he's taking it with him. Nutter's just paid 10,000 bills for a $3000 car. Cheers.
Training resumes minus the twice weekly two tonne car push regime. Didn't much care for that part of my training schedule anyway.

Fook me that was hard work, first bit of training for a month due to the flu ect. and thats nearly killed me, no cramp though so the stretching must be working at least
