Questions, comments and criticisms
Lee,
I was wondering if when I see for example Darren Berrecloth in ROAM, does he really ride on Spec SX trail? That SX trail which I can buy from my local dealer?? or is it kinda special SX- only Darren- trail?;) The same for example with Gee Atherton rockin’ on Reign in Anti Gravity 2?…couse..if it can handle Gee or Darren for sure it will handle me;)
Greetings for new year from Poland 😉

Lee,
Great article (Indoor training: Do this once a week). I have been doing a very similar type of sprint training. The only difference is that I do 30 seconds all out and 1 minute rest (you recommend more recovery time; is a shorter time worse/harder for you or your body?).

Hey Lee, thanks for the indoor training article.
I’ll look to integrate your ideas with the DB Combo program at the start of Jan. when I make my monthly adjustments.
Any thoughts on doing the intervals before or after weight training?
Cheers Greg
Hey Lee,
I was on your site a while back with places to ride your DH bike. Anyway I purchased a Demo 7 1. I can rail berms — Kessel Run in Fruita was incredible. I pull myself forward and down in berms — works great — but when I try this in flat corners I get all balled up. Especially in right turns. I ride left foot forward if that helps. I tighten up, can’t barely make it and usually end up in a bush. What am I doing wrong?

HELP!!!
A friend has a RP3 with an eye to eye of 7.875″ and a stroke of 2.25″. Will this work on a 2003 Specialized Enduro Expert?????
Thanks!

Lee,
If you are a pro, can you deduct bike related stuff on your taxes? I always wondered what you could get away with.
Thanks.
Lee,
I am 39 years old, 5 foot 7 at 135 pounds and live in California (green/red sticker). I got a used little 1998 kx80 a year ago to see if I like dirt biking.
Of course I do, so now I need a bigger bike but a 125/250 seem too big for me. I can just barely tippy toe when sitting on one. I know people way smaller than me ride full size bikes and I should be on a full size bike, but I guess I am just intimidated by the size and power of the bike.
Do you think I should get a kx 100 or get the full size bike?

Hello Lee
When pedaling on a DH I’m often in the false (too light or heavy) gear so I thought about how pros do it. Do they plan their shifting, e.g. “before the 5th corner I have to shift to 4th gear?” Or how do they manage to be in the right gear?

Sticky shoes and quality flat pedals can restrict your on-pedal movement more than clip-in shoes and pedals. If you’re used to a little float, you might feel confined in your 5.10s. Bruce in Vancouver is feeling the pinch.
Dragging one’s heels is never desirable — metaphorically or literally. Eric is hitting his heels on rocks and hard landings. We can help:
