7. How to Begin Racing- Although bmx is rapidly gaining great popularity, it is still sort of an underground sport which can seem tough to get into. For instance, you can look up "bmx tracks" in your local yellow pages and you probably won't find any listings at all. If you are just getting into the world of bmx you probably have a lot of questions that you may not have the answers to. Here we'll let you in on everything you've wanted to know, but had nobody to ask, about the sport. Know how to score a bmx style race? Find out here. We'll tell you how in this section, plus tons of other stuff and we also have rider e-mail support. So if you have any further questions we are at your finger tips.

9. Passing Techniques- At some point in every race there will come a time when you want to pass another rider. Even if you are in the lead from the very beginning of the race, there may be lappers that you have to pass. Passing can be a difficult skill to master since it requires close contact with another rider, so use caution, but don't be afraid to be aggressive. You will never win a race by following the guy in front of you! We'll show you how to be aggressive without being reckless and also how to tackle some of the harder passing techniques such as passing in corners, passing while jumping, and passing in the rhythms.

12. Tackling Rhythm Sections - When learning to race, one of the most challenging things to master is rhythm sections, and that is just what they are designed to be. Rhythms are simply a series of large or small jumps in the track. They are the "sandtrap" of bmx, specifically placed in the course to break a riders speed and momentum, and add technical difficulty to the terrain. There are several types of rhythm sections and many ways to go about handling them. In this section we show you what to expect, the safest way to navigate through these tricky sections and of course the fastest. Back to About the School Order info

Advanced Riding Techniques |

|
|
1. Jumping Techniques- At the expert and pro levels of bmx racing you will begin to notice that one of the major differences in racing is the size and technicality of the jumps. That means you'll need to adjust your jumping style in order to progress with your racing skills. This section will teach you how to maneuver a bike in the air to prepare for upcoming obstacles, ways to get more height on your jumps to clear triples, and how to stay low in the air over a jump in order to land sooner and get back on the throttle, plus many more techniques.

2. Body Positioning- Each technique section has a full description of the proper body position that a rider should use such as: how to position your body around a corner, the basic attack position, how jumps affect your body position, when to sit and stand, how to get used to accelerating while standing, and how to use body positioning to allow for maximum drive out of the starting gate. Body positioning is covered for cornering, jumping, whoops, holeshot, passing, and all types of terrain. Back to About the School Order info

4. Cornering Techniques- Although cornering may seem like a simple concept, by now you have learned how important it can really be. As you now know, races are won and lost in the corners.

6. Maualing- Manualing is one of the most advanced techniques in BMX. When you are an advanced rider manualing comes into play on just about every jump or rhythm section you encounter in some way or another. There are a number of instances where manualing is a must for properly negotiating a section. In this section we cover every aspect of manualing with detailed step by step descriptions with video.

7. Passing Techniques- If you don't get the holeshot, you need to have a strategy in mind if you plan on winning a race. With basic passing skills under your belt, you are now ready to begin working on more complicated and aggressive passing techniques such as block passing, stuffing, and passing over jumps. These methods are definitely more dangerous, but done correctly they can win a race for you when you are coming from behind. Back to About the School Order info
