We have one parking garage in Yellowknife, and if security didn't bust you, it's still mighty cold at -46°C. Hard on the lungs! I switch to xc skiing in the winter. I wish we had indoor facilities up here.

[@TomHancock-kt1zy]

That's why in Motocross and BMX the pros move to Florida or California. Year-round train. Cold weather certainly makes it harder to train.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

I’m trying to get down to Florida. I’ll most likely be there next winter

[@TomHancock-kt1zy]

Sure you've been to the track in West Palm beach. Open just about every day of the week.

Great fucking idea! Needed this, thank you.

🙌🙌

[@tedmiller7772]

Hey Drew your videos are awesome. Do you focus on pulling up on your pedals or just pedaling as fast as you can?

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you! The smooth pedaling motion is pretty unnatural, so most of the feeling comes from repetition. I don’t really focus on much, but I would say it’s more towards focusing on speed than pulling.

[@kettlebellcarnivore-vr5cw]

I wonder if seeing the car made you race to finish before they came up?

[@alexandredavid-gauthier6320]

What is the brand of the equipment you use to measure your speed ? Great video by the way 🙌🏼

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thanks! They’re timers from Browers

[@Nitro_dizzle]

when doing sprints why don't you throw ur head forward like a gate??

[@DrewPolkBMX]

I don’t focus on throwing my head forward during a gate. I think about pushing on the pedal as my body falls forward. It just looks like I throw my head because the movement is faster since it’s on a hill. My gates on flat ground look similar to my sprint form here!

[@corbettlovesbikes]

How long do you rest between sprints?

[@DrewPolkBMX]

In the cold, however long it takes my hands to warm up from being numb 😂 but usually I just write the time, then get setup at a normal pace and go again

[@corbettlovesbikes]

@@DrewPolkBMX oh cool. Thanks 💪

[@ZAZA-zu4ld]

how about you buy some new clip shoes bud

[@DrewPolkBMX]

They arrived right after I filmed this video 👍
