What can I expect from Train 2 Gain?
With years of experience on the global motocross circuit, when not racing himself, Chris Bastick is dedicated to training up the next generation of MX racers. These are a few of the highlights of a typical training day:
Introductions and objectives
When you first meet up with Chris, you’ll spend a short time getting to know one another. This will involve giving him some idea of your current skill level, and what you’re looking to achieve from the day’s session.
Understanding the track
From here you’ll walk around the motocross practice track with Chris, who will provide you with a detailed description of the circuit, along with technical explanations of key areas of the track and how they will affect the bike.
Practice makes perfect
Following the theory part of the course, you will move onto the motocross practice track itself, with extra attention being given to those areas you wish to improve upon. You will be able to concentrate on specific sections of the course, with plenty of time given to perfect the skills you need to handle the nuances of each part of the track. Chris will be with you, offering guidance and advice from his years of experience to help you improve your technique and conquer each section in turn.
The personal touch
Now that you’re ready to put it all together, Chris’ preferred training method is to join you for a full circuit of the motocross practice track, riding in front so you can shadow him and see how he changes his ride to meet the ever shifting conditions of the track itself. From this you will learns about picking a line and positioning yourself to best advantage on the course.
Up in front
The next step is for you and Chris to change position, allowing him to shadow you and determine your own style of riding. This unique training method is a major improvement on trackside coaches who can easily miss subtle changes in position and posture as you make your way around the motocross practice track. In this way, Chris is able to provide you with accurate feedback to improve your technique, giving you the opportunity to ride a smoother and faster lap the next time around.
The big one
Once both your and Chris are happy with your progression it’s time to tackle the motocross practice track solo. Chris will still be your coaching partner but will be doing so from the side of the track, while you have the whole circuit to yourself.
