MOUNTAIN BIKE QUESTION PLZ PLZ PLZ CLICK!!!!?
Ok tomorrow i am going up a mountain bike track with my mates like we do every weekend but tomorrow were timing each other to see who can get the fastest time, right so im expected to do fairly good but i got a really crappy bike (giant upland se) and every one else has decent bikes oh im 13 if it matters so anyone got some tips on how i can go faster tommorow and its downhill.
I wouldn’t try changing your riding style right before a race. It’s better to experiment with different techniques and then race with them after perfecting them. You’re more likely to lose time trying things differently than you’re used to.
As for the bike, speed is about 95% you and 5% bike. Keep working in your riding. It’s very gratifying to beat people who ride much better bikes. As for technique to work on, try braking hard before a turn, rather than slowing down gradually, that way you get to the turn faster. Focus on keeping your fingers off the brake levers as much as you can stand it. That’ll make you a downhill king.
