Riding/Rracing in Real Life
When you ride/race ( In real life ), do you feel like your being commentated by Jeff Emig and Ralph Sheheen? How do you get pumped to take the lead? I'm interested!

Slightly off topic but when I used to race mountain bike 4x, you could actually hear the commentators talking about you as you were racing, it was pretty weird.

Re: Riding/Rracing in Real Life
I have a song in my head most of the times when i'm practicing.. nothing especially motivating, just something chill
When racing it's completely different tho. I feel like I'm to focused to think about anything thats not racing.

Re: Riding/Rracing in Real Life
DH races are crazy, at the start everyones yelling at you, on the jumps everyone says 'do a whip' 'pedal' or have an air horn blowing the shit out of it, rock gardens aswell 'pedal' and air horns. I've only done 2 races but shit it puts you off and kills your concentrationkona309 wrote:My buddy was doing a DH race and the commentator mentioned him, then he met the dirt.BuddyTheElf wrote:Slightly off topic but when I used to race mountain bike 4x, you could actually hear the commentators talking about you as you were racing, it was pretty weird.

Re: Riding/Rracing in Real Life
When just riding i always seem to hum a song i heard recently.
Racing though i just concentrate on hitting lines correctly

Re: Riding/Rracing in Real Life
I thought i was the only one humming songs in my head
On a practice day i always have a song in my head and hum one line over and over again i don't know why, sometimes it gives me a boost to don't give up lol

When I ride I can do about 10 laps hard no problem but when I race I get tired as soon as the gate drops, I don't know why. In practice I'll be battling with everybody who is winning the Intermediate class and as soon as the gate drops I get like 10th.

Re: Riding/Rracing in Real Life
Well when I am racing, I get pissed sorta when someone passes me so I step it up and push harder to get back in front I don't worry about the leader though, I worry about the guy in front of me, then when I pass him I worry about the next guy and so on. It's done me good, have had many many podium finishes throughout my races.
If you ride a 4stroke I feel bad for you son! I got 99 problems but my valves ain't 1
