Rider Training
Overview
BMX racers need strong legs, flexible arms and a cool head but more than that is the proper mental strategy to improve performance in every race. Alongside the regular physical training that any BMX track rider needs is the sort of mindset that clears the way for faster, more skilful rides.
But, whatever your level of performance, don't lose sight of the joy of BMX racing. Always stay ambitious and eager to improve and learn from each BMX track race, whether win or lose.
Always aim to improve your fitness and practice bike riding daily, even for a few minutes.
Confidence in your BMX bike skills will make you a better and facer rider on the BMX racetrack. But most of all, have fun and enjoyment on the BMX track.
Gearing
It sounds too simple to mention, but it is incredible how many BMX track riders do not have the best machine for their build.
Gearing is especially important with bigger build riders needing a taller gear. If your BMX racing style is to accelerate out of turns, then a shorter gear may help.
And remember, always give your BMX bike a last-minute check to ensure everything is in working order.
Few BMX races will go strictly according to plan, so the rider cannot afford to be too inflexible.
Riders usually go high outside when tackling the berms as the outside gives the best view of what the other competitors are doing.
But, if the opportunity presents itself, then an early pull inside to make a pass can make all the difference.
Training Program
Private Coaching is a great choice for those who are feeling unsure of themselves or have specific questions they want to ask.
Developing fundamental skills is what we prioritise It’s more important to us that you have a strong foundation than simply learning tricks; this principle holds true across all sports (Skateboarding, Scooters, BMX).
We always start with teaching the basics and then move on from there!
