Prayer when on deck and then trusting that prayer once I get on the gate. That’s how I focus.

I’m a 46-50 Novice. This is my first season EVER. When I’m in the gate, I’m basically focused on getting a good first crank. But once the cadence starts, my concentration is on hearing that first beep and trying to synch my first movement to meet it.

As a 49-year old in my first ever season of BMX, I'm seeing more an more adults like me jumping into the sport! I'd love to see more content for adults. Even with access to two busy tracks here in Oregon, we don't have many opportunities to have training cater to us.

When I used to race, I would look left and right, then try to time that gate drop, as best I could. I have never gone over the bars at the gate. But man y many times over the first or second step up or down or whatever. Over shooting any target sucks. Hahaha I loved racing. I remember you Romero. Weren’t you racing in the prime of everyone’s life, around 25-30? I grew up watching all the different VHS tapes from the 90s. I don’t as born in 84 I built from the ground up, my 3 piece crank and shaver bars, riding near “”Bingham Bikes” Glen Adams was the manager at the local Salt Lake Bingham bikes and was “rod” or “rex” as a stunt double in the masterpiece, RAD. “And from Utah, riding for Bingham bikes, Glen Adams”. I doubt he would remember me, but he was a cool dude. I really miss BMX. The whole racing of it. Look l ft and right and say…. “This is mine today. Thanks for showing up.” Rad Canyon West Jordan or south Jordan was my home track.

I'm a 35 year old novice and this was my first season. I'm starting to feel confident at the gate but still have a lot of work to do. I do tend to stare at the gate though, lol.

Great video! I'm starting BMX racing next year at age 40. I can't agree more with tip number 3. I've definitely experienced it, recognize it's powerful potential, but never heard it put to words in a great way like you just did. I'm making the switch for mountain biking and I will definitely work on those first 2 tips to get myself ready for the gate. Thanks again.

To me, concentration is looking ahead and listening to your soft breath, Greetings from Peru, I'm learning a lot thanks to you

I’ve been racing karts for 12+ years and tip #3 has been one of my favorite tips of racing. Love this, Thank you!

Thanks for the video! I’ve been racing for three years and this definitely helped me!

your videos always help so much

Because of your videos, I'm 12 expert!

sooooooo thanks for make this video your the best coach 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you so much for making these kind of videos. I watch a lot of your content and it helps me a lot. I continue to improve and succeed because of you. Thanks coach 🙏 😁

I love ur tips I have done BMX for 8 years now at the age of 11

Focusing to me is looking at the gate and listening to my breathing while trying to relax

Thank you

Great practice tips! Another awesome video!

I wish someone had coached me through having a performance mindset many years ago when I was a high school/collegiate wrestler.

Focuses means to nothing think just do, its a natural movement

A calmed state of mind, and a relaxed attitude while gating up. A simple routine to allow focus and an explosive start and first straight.

I focus 20 feet ahead of my front wheel on the ground and I tell my brain to shut up then I breathe. Breathing helps me the most. Throw my full body forward and 80% forst crank and 100 the second

Great video ! I think the performance mind state is Developed.... thru repetition and experience....

hi! I‘m new to your account and i‘m really interested in BMX, this summer im probably going to follow my first bmx lessons, i like your video’s already and i think it will help me alot! thank you so much 💗

My focus and anchor crank flip once clip in and breath every single gate i go deaf when im on the gate so strictly looking at the lights no distraction. I also have written on my number plate "just breath"

I don't know if this comes under focus really, I love listing to Warrior by Hannah Kerr. when I do listen to it gets my nerves and it just get me relaxed more before go up on the gate

thank you this helped i have a clinic today and i cant balence

i don't worry about getting out of gate but i work to get those next 5 peadles

for me to Focus on is the light

When I’m on the gate I look to the first jump preparing for what Others around me are going to do since I race the same people often I know what and how they are going to do out of the gate

Deep breath in, deep breath out. Stand, arms straight, wrist forward, check crank position,, deep breath in deep breath out ...EXPLODE! I like my competitors so I dont want to "kill them", that gate tho....we aren't friends lol

What can I use to hold my pedals for box sprints? I have a habit of pulling back and I heard box sprints help a lot.

Back in the day my first move was up with front tire. I would try blow the gate down

I'm 12 intermediate going to expert and for the things that help me to focus would be staring at the light And just preparing my mind and get all the distracting thoughts out

Hi coach g, I was just wondering at what horn or what light do you start to make your first movement, or when are you supposed to react at a random start gate

I focus on my balance. Relaxed, still as a glass of water.

to me focus is looking in front of me and figuring out what i could do that is faster on the jumps when im in the gate

Hi! I found that once I got faster I keep snapping to early on the gate. Any tips?

My 6 year old said focus to him is looking a few metres ahead not at the gate like the cadence says😎🤷‍♂️

focusing feels like staring at nothing while completely shifting your attention to (in my case) the beep sounds. thats what it feels like to me

I’m pretty new to BMX and im pretty good already but i have trouble when i start in starting gate i start in the lead and then i get slower in middle so idk iff i should start so fast

Hover right off the seat way back almost looks like sitting down shot out of the gate a couple feet ahead of everyone , Usually got first place unless Danny Ortiz my main competition was there

I honestly just yolo it and focus on winning.

@2:28 Duggie!

Hlo how do you jump how do you jump to get that feeling out

💪👏👏👏👏

So idk if anyone will respond but I have a fear of flipping the gate and my reaction time is not good because of that and I’ve practiced many (well some) reaction games and I don’t know how to overcome this so anything helps :D

I've found that taking a few deep breaths while sitting in the gate

My focus is on the gate drop and the first straight and after the corner...

Sometimes at the bigger races I cannot hear the cadence very well. I might want to become a light looker.

A jump jump jump how do you do

i get scared when the gates open and the sound goes can you help me with that

Reps

Your friends with Tyler right?

Balance when sitting down due to limited knee range of motion. Too old😮
