as motorama nears, i find myself focusing on specific
training routines.
what is your training routine?
here is mine
1- practice crank grabs. i find that this warms me up for
hopping practice pretty well. i usually start with something
i know i can do but near the boundry of what i cant do/never
tried. i work on increasing my success percentage and
reducing time between the grab and going to rubber.
2- hopping practice. first i do high hop. i usually start at
about 22" and work up to about 26" (my limit). i work on
reducing preparation hops and correction hops once ive
landed it. then i work on endurance. this usually involves
hopping up the amphitheatre at my school. it has maybe 20-25
steps, each about 6' wide, with a foot of concrete making
the initial step and then the remainig 5 feet before the
next step grass. each step is probably 15-20" high (they
vary in height). i do one hop onto the concrete step, then
another onto the grass, and then up onto the next step. it
is very tiring by the time i get to the top.
3- gaps. my gap distance is pitiful. my best is probably 4-
5'. i work on snapping the tire and twisting 45 degrees so
that i dont fold over the tire on landing. i hop at a 45
degree angle from the hopping direction to prevent the tire
from folding over.
4- stillstand. this is usually incorporated into the other
practice. i work on seat out and seat in still stand,
between hops and just by itself.
5-control. this involves freestyle style riding with
backwards. hopspins, mounts, etc. just things that will help
on the trials line.
6-lines. my campus has horrible trials lines. mostly just
benches and walls. there are a few lines and i practice
them. i want to practice on some sandwich boards but i have
none and its hard to get them since i live in a dorm and
have no car.
