    Mar 29, 2025

    MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BE TRAINING LIKE BMX RACERS?

    MAYBE WE SHOULD ALL BE TRAINING LIKE BMX RACERS?

    ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE RACERS, is the great John Tomac. He came up through BMX, dominated the MTB scene, XC and DH, started crushing the roadies...

    ... eventually racing in Europe with the Motorola road squad.

    How did he do that?

    Locally, some of the very best racers I've battled...

    • superior sprinters
    • excellent bike handlers
    • calm as cucumbers slicing and dicing crits

    ... trace their roots back to BMX.

    What do BMXers do...

    ...  over and over again?

    30-40 second all out sprints.

    Not,
    let's go fast.

    Ride it like you stole,
    lightning starts.

    I thought about that as I cooled down,
    close to home.

    The ride was fast,
    and I'd felt great.

    Best I've felt all year.

    Confirmed by a few of PRs, on Starva.

    I think my Power Spikes sessions...

    • all out
    • 10-20 seconds
    • lots of rest in between

    ... are starting to pay dividends

    Over the course of about 2 hours, 
    I'll get in 20-30 sprints with
    tons of rest in between.

    Maybe I was inspired by this outstanding collaboration we are doing with the one and only...

    ... Radical Rick!

    Manifesto

    Pretty good “for me", is not good enough.

    Only knowing there was nothing left to do will satisfy.

    I demand all the talents God has given me be searched, activated and deployed.

    Giving anything less than everything, is failure.

    I define my wins not by others, or trophies, but by my soul’s golden standard.

    I’m in pursuit of impossible.
