AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES STEWART

AN INTERVIEW WITH JAMES STEWART
By Ken Faught

James Stewart may very well be the most-talented rider to ever swing a leg over a motorcycle. His dynamic risk-it-all riding style has made him one of the most entertaining riders to watch. He’s so fast, in fact, many believe the he single handedly forced Ricky Carmichael into early retirement. To see this, one only needed to be at the Phoenix Supercross in 2006. After his win, RC literally threw his bike down to the ground in one of the most-enthusiastic victory celebrations ever seen. Some say Carmichael was so overly excited because he didn’t expect to be able to run Stewart’s ultra-quick pace.

10 Absolute MX Practice Tips by Gary Semics

10 Absolute MX Practice Rules by Gary Semics ( http://www.gsmxs.com )

In order to improve your race results, you first must improve your practice strategies. Then practice the correct techniques until they become automatic.

Absolute rule number 1 – There’s a mind to the madness. When you go out to practice have a purpose behind your practice. Don’t just race around the track, making the same mistakes over and over. Always spend some time separating and working at your weak points and techniques.
Now that we’ve got that right, here’s tip number one of a ten quick tips series on how to become a better racer.

#1 You need to be able to work the levers and hold onto the grips independently.
The most common mistake here is to hold onto the grips with all four fingers than grab at the levers only when you really have to use them. This way is so award that the rider doesn’t use the clutch and front brake levers often enough and when they do use the levers they can’t hold onto the grips well.

The thing that takes time and practice to develop is the ability to hold onto the grips and work the levers accurately at the same time, many riders use two fingers on the clutch, and many use one finger. It’s best to use one finger on the front brake. Get used to it and make it a habit.Give up a finger or two on the grips in order to work the levers independently from holding onto the grips.

#2 When you’re not using the shifter or brake the ball of your foot should be on the foot peg.
A general rule to go by is that if you’re not using the shifter or brake you should be on the balls of your feet. When you need to use the shifter or brake simply move up to the arches of your feet, than when you’re not using the shifter or brake move back to the balls of your feet again. While you are riding you should be using this technique frequently changing back and forth. This is true whether sitting or standing.

The benefits are: it adds another joint to your body’s suspension (your ankle joint) for better movement and feel, your feet won’t hit the ground in ruts and get ripped off the foot pegs, and you won’t hit the shifter or brake by accident. The only exception to this technique is if you are going to land very hard (like casing a jump) then you should be on the arches of your feet so you don’t sprain or break your ankles. This is defiantly one of those techniques that you have to think about and practice separately. Keep checking the bottom of those boots.

A DAY IN THE DIRT. JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Posted by mauler On November - 16 - 2008 Comments Off

http://www.adayinthedirt.com/

The 11th running of the Troy Lee Designs/Elrod Racing’s A Day in the Dirt is drawing near, some amazing Grand Prix racing. We caught up with Kenny Alexander, the mastermind of the A Day in the Dirt event to chat about the Thanksgiving weekend race…

Has being injured affected your motivation toward the A Day in the Dirt event?

That’s a tough question, because if I was racing the track would be more my style so I am going to make it tough for you guys this year [laughs]. I can focus a little more on it but at the same time it’s hard because, of course, I love to race. I focus on A Day in the Dirt and Mammoth; those are the two races a year that I do. Hopefully I will be healed up for Mammoth, but for now I hope to just give you guys a great place to come out and have fun.

A Day in the Dirt has moved back to L.A. County Raceway last year, and it was a far cry from the less-exciting track most of us remember. For us, last year’s ADITD layout was one of the most fun tracks we’ve ever had a chance to ride. Do people realize how great this track is now?

If you haven’t been out here in a couple years, it’s a huge difference. There is a 70 foot hole in the ground that is part of the track, and this year, we plan to incorporate six uphills and downhills, and we are going to have some asphalt again for some high speed and a chance to rest and, of course, the top section will be very much a motocross track.
