Nice job man! I am racing c class in Colorado this year - 2nd place in the HardRock, 3place in the megawatt - hydration is definitely key

[@motomatt3763]

Dude... I wrestled high school and walk on for college. Motocross is by far the most extreme individual sport I have ever competed in. There is an isolation component to MX that no other sports offer. In sports like wrestling there is mental time for strategy in most cases. Not MOTO... 100% react to what is given to you, while being pushed beyond what you think you are physically capable of... Best drug ever...

[@eaglemx45]

Agreed; and a badass wrestler/fighter makes a hell of a motocrosser!

[@UncleSarkis]

I too wrestled. Both are definitely individual sports, but the dynamic in MX is much different, fear is much different, there is no comparison. One thing is for sure though, both sports keep the panzies out.

[@PinkuStyle]

I am starting to see it. Wrestled, lacrosse captain,D1 football walk on, BJJ purple belt etc. And being tired while on a wild machine is crazy indeed!!

[@Rideeverydayofficial]

If you spent as much time on a bike per week as you spent at wrestling practice, Moto would get aerobic, vs anaerobic. Wrestling appears to be very anerobic. My kids are wrestling middle school. Does not look fun. Ha.

He is absolutely right! However for the average person who’s just at work, water is probably a better option than what it’s made out to be here. But for any athlete, or active person, this is really good accurate info 🤘🏼💕

[@sexatica]

I could probably benefit from it as I'm probably dehydrated everyday

[@bmwbob86]

This subject is super relevant for me at the moment. I've always known that I have an issue with hydration, and I've been experimenting with no alcohol or coffee which really helps (but fucking sucks because I like coffee and alcohol!). Learning about Hypotonic drinks is definitely something I will try. Awesome content, cheers Gypsy!

[@uncoant4750]

This segment is gold, I'll be using this in a saftey presentation. The information is clearly explained and more or less defines my entire 2021 hydration issues. During the working week I'm drinking 200ml an hour of DiH20 and pissing like a horse constantly. In the days comming into an event I'll add carbohydrate and creatine(once a day) as loading. Night before and first rise morning of the event I'll try drink as much water as possible 3L being the target. During the event, I'll avoid water as I've found it causes cramps and will drink a fruit juice/carbo mix and smash electrolyte caps. Failure to do any of this and I'll cook and cramp like a MF.

[@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896]

Awesome insightful content , 95% of people that watch this probably learnt something. It will certainly help me knowing to select a low carb electrolyte mix to hydrate faster which i did not know before.

[@8180634]

That was interesting because I remember hearing some other professional nutritionist person (I can't remember their name, it was a couple years ago) explain that a little sugar helps you hydrate faster because every molecule of glucose that goes through your intestine into your blood carries 2 molecules of water with it. But it sounds like that drink would take longer to get from your stomach to your intestine to begin with. Maybe that first person was wrong. Time for more homework...

[@Motoinc]

Yeah we learned what the 0,5% of the TOP athletes need ...but normal people think of you buy this you become one of the 0,5% of the top athletes. Snake oil

It would be great if one of these pro nutritionist guys would put together an example 1-day drink and meal plan for a full day of moto, assuming an averaged size 175# guy in 90F temps and maybe 5 or 6 15-20 minute motos. I'll drink 1gal plus at the track, not pee all day and still feel dehydrated at the end of the day, so there must be something I can do better. Trying to keep calories going in is another challenge.

What is the drink!??

[@cotyabbott129]

[@edlester0999]

I tend to pee a lot before racing? Why is this nerves and how bad is it? Thanks for any help.

[@jeffarcher400]

If you eat the carbs and drink the electrolytes together I would think the carbs would mix into the solution changing the osmolarity. Seems a wait between the liquid and solid would allow the liquid to be absorbed quickly by itself and then eat the carbs. Even five or ten minutes should give the fluids a head start. If you know what the average rate of absorption of pure water vs a hypotonic solution is please let me know. Damage to the lining of the intestine from alcohol,stress, overeating or drugs leading to inflammation could drastically affect absorption too.

[@GoatRoper911]

Everyone should avoid table salt 🧂 since it only has 1-2 minerals versus sea salt which has 40-60 minerals. Hence its lemon ish flavor. Hope this helps

[@grantblake9902]

So what’s the name of this and where can you get it ?

[@TheFoxalot]

eBay or Amazon, organic electrolytes. Look for sugar free as those will work the best

[@SwormCycles]

So he kinda lost me on when he was asked the question about whether or not you should rehydrate with his secret mixture on top of maybe eating some carbs and he said that it really didn't matter because the food sits higher than the fluids in your stomach and that the fluids will still get through faster into your blood stream while you still gain the benefits of the carbs being digested slower?? Is this accurate? I always was told that ANY foods in your gut will slow down the digestion process (just like drinking beer and eating a lot of bread slows the absorption) so I would think you should drink the hydration mixtures first and then eat..no?? Thanks for any insight.

[@jackpassfield9141]

What about endurance gels? Is that a good way to get sugars and salts in or will they also have an impact on the way your body can absorb the hydration from fluids?

[@hpoints187]

So how can the average person buy or consume this???!❤

[@mav459]

Essentially? There are different forms of carbohydrates. Salt obsorbs water. So yeah. You need a fast obsorbing carbohydrate and a slow digesting carbohydrate.

Not to mention a big Gypsy Tales fan, keep up the good work

[@grimmriffer]

He says exactly that, water empties from the stomach fast - but that carb content in the fluid slows this down.

Is it a crazy idea to mix half a tea spoon of baking soda and some table salt into a glass of water and knock that back each morning?? - Asking for a friend 😅

[@b-manz]

I call BS on this. Selling the product by telling everyone water can’t hydrate a person is in the stupid box. Facts: electrolytes provide better hydration than water - but saying water can’t hydrate…?! Also, if you combine electrolytes with sugar, you are closer to water. My advice - try a few. I like Nuun the best as it seems to have the best mix and provides no sugar meaning the fluid is getting absorbed faster. Or go cheap and make your own. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of salt into water 30 minutes before a moto. Add in potassium and magnesium to further improve the mix. Just don’t go too heavy on the elements. Quantities can be found online.

I always thought isotonic drinks gave pro athletes another half a percent advantage, never really paid them any notice, but always guzzled liters of water when riding.
