I been riding dirt just over a year. Last September i completed my first enduro. 9mile lap 6 laps time carded. It was woods open field and soft sand, man it was hard i knew i was suposed to standup but i could only stand for 10 seconds i burnt my self out sitting down i was so not ready,
Since then i have been training harder Weights xtrainer stepper mountainbikin
but nothing compares to actually riding the bike.
Now i can stand all day up and down as much as needed, The reason fo r training was i know how to ride the bike and what i should be doin but my fitness was slowing me down . Im still not bike fit but with every ride i get fitter,
At the end of the day as long as were all having fun everybodys happy
