In this video I break down the steps to learn a good gate start. This will also transfer to MTB dirt jumpers as well. A good gate start doesn't come over night so keep focusing and reminding yourself of the steps at every practice session.

  • My son used to be fast out of the gate. Since the switch to flats he's been awful, and I realize now it's because of his hip position. He hasn't had the comfort level to really get out in front of the bike like he used to. This video is super helpful.

    @tamerlanenj@tamerlanenj3 жыл бұрын

    • Keep him in his flats for a long time he will learn to use form instead of relying on his clips....after a few months if he is good and strong he will be beating people with clips...once he is beating people on flats he will not only gain more confidence his competition will start to loose theirs and when at bigger events that really matter ride with his clips he will be smoking them... obviously don't never ever practice with clips so you don't remember how to use them but only for that purpose...

      @clintcoop5717@clintcoop57172 жыл бұрын

    • The difference is when clipped in is you get the up pull on the pedals is why you go faster...that doesn't mean he is actually learning proper form...just so you know my son has made the mains as a pro at the Grands....

  • I raced a little in the 80s. I'm in my 40s now. I went back and tried to do some heats in cruiser class in my mid 30s. It was fun af! I wont lie, I was awkward off the gate and my legs didn't like me like they did when I was a kid. Lol. I got 4th place in a 6 man heat. Was fun. I'd love to start doing it for exercise now and get better again. Cool video for the kiddos. And even refreshing my mind. Lol. In the 80s, I never had any show me gate techniques. Lol. Just got up there and went. Lol. I still ride bikes every week. Got a 29er SE, a 26er REDLINE, and an oldschool torker. Well, I kinda gave my torker to my nephew, but I miss it. 😢 lol

Eventually he was part of the gang but it took riding the circuit and going to the tracks where all you guys were locally to get to that point...I don't know if he will ever race at that high of a level again but just wanted to give a shout out to ya and glad to see you are still hard at it making a living doing what you love!!! We all know it's a very difficult thing to do..That was always a goal we had but I suppose life and injuries are difficult to overcome...much love to ya buddy!!!!

  • Just returned to racing after 30 years away. I was really surprised ABA changed the gate cadence. The old ABA start was: Okay riders lets set'um up. Riders ready, Watch the lights. (Red...Green lights only). I used to listen so that on that W I was throwing my weight and snapping the gate. I need to work on my timing but it seems that if I start on that first beep that would be about the same.
