    General mountain biking as a cross training for motocross

    Did we all forget about Jeremy McGrath? Who said that MTB skills do not translate into MX/SX?!! :-) Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

    SX500 Upgrade to Honda look alike

    OMG! I remember that poor-looking green Razor in your garage! I had not realized until now that it was the same bike!!! What a beautiful transformation! BTW, the throttle calibration on this thing is amazing. I can carry longer low wheelies on it than I can on any other bike that I own! It was...

    Tortelli podcast reveals problem with whoops is front end dropping as torque decreases with revs

    That's a long podcast. IMO, the problem is with the rear end dropping. And this is due the the virtual flywheel being too small.

    Don's lightweight conversions

    And another one: 2) As a nod of respect to Stark Future's 'dildo' technology in the Stark Varg's headlight, Don is using 'strap-on' technology to hold his headlight.. :)

    I think my heart rate is lower on an electric bike. Has anyone compared their gas heart rates to their electring heart rate?

    The 2-wheel control skills are the same. You can do more tricks on a bicycles than on a motorcycle. They learned to do wheelies, front and back flips on bicycles way before they did it on a dirt bike.

    General mountain biking as a cross training for motocross

    I used to mountain bike 2x a week and do MX 1x a week when I was getting back into the sport after a 12-year break. I did it in Arizona in winter and in Michigan in summer, sometimes in winter too, on studded tires. I even used a 20-lbs weighted vest to make it more interesting. I could not do...

    General mountain biking as a cross training for motocross

    Mountain biking is an excellent cross-training for motocross. There is nothing better. Motocross is a high-intensity anaerobic sport. The heart rate is high. It burns sugar, not fat. You need to combine it with aerobic training like long low-HR training to maintain your baseline health and...
