Mac after waiting for like 5-10 minutes: "He's ahead of me." 😂 Yellow and Black arrows are for Side by Sides (heard you ask in the video). How'd you manage to only catch me on footage when I'm stuck somewhere? 🤣At 9:24 and then again at 1:01:35 (off in the woods to the left) lol. This race was my son's 2nd XC race and he struggles with technical stuff, so I rode with him most of the time and didn't really "race". Every hill except the first one, I had to ride my bike up, walk back down and then ride his bike up lol. This was a good track, but maaaaaaaaan that first bottleneck was absolute chaos. You guys did really good! Looking forward to seeing you out there again!

Stick with 2nd,3rd until you get to where you can drop it back and do coasters. Trying to start off with slow first gear stuff is allot because you’re trying to learn not only throttle and brake control but also it’s allot harder to balance at slow speed. Practice bringing it up and setting it down with the brake. Pick it up, jab the brake over and over building confidence in the rear brake and then work that into more speed and being more gentle with the brake to where you can just cruise a wheelie all day and then work towards slowing them down🤙

good thinking! I guess I was just thinking slow wheelies = less speed and while yes, harder to learn up front = safer down the road at higher speeds.

My buddy and I were talking about getting a Marketplace beater to learn to wheelie so we can negate all the worry of crashing and hesitation in just sending it. Nobody wants to dump their nice bike bending bars, breaking signals, levers etc. Once we got good we'd just sell it back to some poor dolt.😂 Once you get it up there with the initial throttle, you have to follow with steady throttle delivery, not cut it completely then "blip, blip, blip". It's intuitive to chop throttle once it's flying up but counterproductive to what we're trying to do. The other thing nobody mentions is that we instinctly lean forward once it's popping up there, till we can stop that we'll always be killing that momentum.
@urbexcross5 ай бұрын
