BMX racing tips
I'm looking for some tip on first time BMX racing. Some serious tips, no spoofing just to throw me off the back. No need to suggest clipping in, I tried that at the track today and damn near killed myself. I got a decent road racing backround, but I'm not a strong sprinter. It seem that this is what this type of racing is all about. Out of the gate first and pedal like h3ll. My problem as I observe it is, going into each obstacle with that much speed projects me upward and kills me forward momentum. How do I keep the bike down and not lose speed due to poor jumping technique? How about the turns; up high or down low? What is a good time to complete the track. Ours here is approx. 300-350yds, three turns, three obs. in each straight, rhythm at the end.
