In 2002-2004 RC got in great shape and looked like an athlete

Deegan and Joe are not that thick and both seem to get faster and stronger with 5 minutes to go . They should have a 125 2 stroke class and televise it so everyone has more time between motos and me as a greedy fan gets to watch more motos

Bro, Deegan is built like a freaking tank now. His shoulders and back have gotten much MUCH wider even since SX. Did you see him shirtless on the podium at Hangtown? lol… “no…” you know what 😂😂 but… the dude was freaking jacked.

I would enjoy more episodes like this. You don't often hear riders talk about meal preps before and after the race, calorie/water intake, cooling down their bodies preparing for the next moto and how to mentally focus on races.

When I used to watch rc racing outdoors a few things stuck out, belief in himself and his ability to carry speed while using less energy and in his interviews he just went hard from the gate for 10 mins then coasted for the win because he broke everyone else !

I believe healty keto is one of the best diets for moto. Lots of energy in small mass.

Novak Djokovic had a huge change in his career through diet change, you never know where that extra 2% can be found sometimes.

This might be a stupid question but is it against the rules to have an IV between motos to get fluids into the body?

@Kyegar 13 күн бұрын

I actually feel like I read that in the rule book somewhere. I maybe wrong but I think some riders were doing that in the early 2000s but they banned it

@travharrell1713 11 күн бұрын

From the AMA rule book on page 375. (3) Intravenous (IV) (a) Any use of IV hydration, whether for medical reasons or performance reasons, will disqualify the rider from competition for 24 hours.

There are other factors to consider too , I think Jett rides smooth and conserves a lot of energy , and then the mental side , some people naturally have a higher tolerance for pain , some people are mentally stronger and don’t get discouraged as easy , Dungey never gave up and was always there …

There's a huge talent component in MX that is difficult to factor into the fitness equation. If you're a sprinter, yes there's some technique, but nothing close to MX. No one has quite figured it out. One thing to consider, is that "practice" in MX is all in. Other sports can toss a ball or whatever. We're all in. This means the other training you do should be closer to zone two. The old days of Bailey and Johnny O, were often too much, too often. Jeremy was incredibly talented, but he trained, but someone like Larocco had to train harder.

1:54 when austin says some dudes have dad bods and says there fit and strong, what people dont consider is its not all about muscle, some people have amazing tendon strength which plays a huge role in overall strength and you cant tell if someone has great tendon strength just by looking at them

@travharrell1713 11 күн бұрын

I saw an interview, on here I think, where one of Stewart's trainers, when they did the fitness test, he scored extremely low for a top level MX/SX rider. But when they did monitoring while he rode he was able ride so smoothly that he conserved energy better than anyone he saw.

Must use a lot more energy if you get a bad start and have to work through the pack.
