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.
