Prayer when on deck and then trusting that prayer once I get on the gate. That’s how I focus.
I’m a 46-50 Novice. This is my first season EVER. When I’m in the gate, I’m basically focused on getting a good first crank. But once the cadence starts, my concentration is on hearing that first beep and trying to synch my first movement to meet it.
Kerry, welcome to the sport and I am here for you and newer riders like you! Thank you for sharing and you gave me an awesome idea and if you let me, I will share it with you?
@@BMXTraining absolutely! Always looking for Input. Whatcha got?
As a 49-year old in my first ever season of BMX, I'm seeing more an more adults like me jumping into the sport! I'd love to see more content for adults. Even with access to two busy tracks here in Oregon, we don't have many opportunities to have training cater to us.
Thanks and all of the content can be totally and completely consumed in the context of helping adults…
I'm a 35 year old novice and this was my first season. I'm starting to feel confident at the gate but still have a lot of work to do. I do tend to stare at the gate though, lol.
When I used to race, I would look left and right, then try to time that gate drop, as best I could. I have never gone over the bars at the gate. But man y many times over the first or second step up or down or whatever.
Over shooting any target sucks. Hahaha
I loved racing.
I remember you Romero.
Weren’t you racing in the prime of everyone’s life, around 25-30?
I grew up watching all the different VHS tapes from the 90s.
I don’t as born in 84
I built from the ground up, my 3 piece crank and shaver bars, riding near “”Bingham Bikes”
Glen Adams was the manager at the local Salt Lake Bingham bikes and was “rod” or “rex” as a stunt double in the masterpiece, RAD.
“And from Utah, riding for Bingham bikes, Glen Adams”.
I doubt he would remember me, but he was a cool dude.
I really miss BMX. The whole racing of it. Look l ft and right and say…. “This is mine today. Thanks for showing up.”
Rad Canyon West Jordan or south Jordan was my home track.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been racing for three years and this definitely helped me!
To me, concentration is looking ahead and listening to your soft breath, Greetings from Peru, I'm learning a lot thanks to you
Great video! I'm starting BMX racing next year at age 40. I can't agree more with tip number 3. I've definitely experienced it, recognize it's powerful potential, but never heard it put to words in a great way like you just did. I'm making the switch for mountain biking and I will definitely work on those first 2 tips to get myself ready for the gate. Thanks again.
Awesome man, good luck to you, and you will be awesome at bmx!
I love ur tips I have done BMX for 8 years now at the age of 11
I’ve been racing karts for 12+ years and tip #3 has been one of my favorite tips of racing. Love this, Thank you!
Awesome man! Karts is crazy competitive

Really? You just turned expert? How can I help you even more?
@BMXTraining I need more tips to get better at gate
@@user-ef8zp6kj9p email me info at Bmx training dot com
Thank you
My focus and anchor crank flip once clip in and breath every single gate i go deaf when im on the gate so strictly looking at the lights no distraction. I also have written on my number plate "just breath"
Nathan, this is a great start to success 🏁
@@BMXTraining thankyou
Great practice tips! Another awesome video!
Thanks Ralph!
Focusing to me is looking at the gate and listening to my breathing while trying to relax
hi! I‘m new to your account and i‘m really interested in BMX, this summer im probably going to follow my first bmx lessons, i like your video’s already and i think it will help me alot! thank you so much 💗
Aweome Marjin, welcome to the sport, hopefully this channel might give you some directon that youre looking for.
@@BMXTraining yes, it definitely will! Your videos are very understandable and helpful. Please keep making this content I love it 🥰
Great video ! I think the performance mind state is Developed.... thru repetition and experience....
I agree and you can choose with intent, what your mind state is, every time.
Focuses means to nothing think just do, its a natural movement
Thanks Cody, I agree, and, this is what I would call the "state of flow!"
I wish someone had coached me through having a performance mindset many years ago when I was a high school/collegiate wrestler.
Dude- tell me about it. I tried wrestling, hard af! I loved HS football and if I had mental guidance I believe I would had been a D1 player. I was too much of a jackass. 🙏🏼
I focus 20 feet ahead of my front wheel on the ground and I tell my brain to shut up then I breathe. Breathing helps me the most. Throw my full body forward and 80% forst crank and 100 the second
A calmed state of mind, and a relaxed attitude while gating up. A simple routine to allow focus and an explosive start and first straight.
Simple is the key
But what makes you calm and relaxed?
What can I use to hold my pedals for box sprints? I have a habit of pulling back and I heard box sprints help a lot.
i don't worry about getting out of gate but i work to get those next 5 peadles
When I’m on the gate I look to the first jump preparing for what Others around me are going to do since I race the same people often I know what and how they are going to do out of the gate
thank you this helped i have a clinic today and i cant balence
Dude, what is your name? I am so glad that the video helped you with balancing, keep practicing until you make it automatic!
@@BMXTraining my name is Ellie sellers im 13 and the closets track to e is santa cleara BMX
@@BMXTraining update: last week i could not balence on the gate, but this week i could balence sitting down but not standing up
@@unnamedbmxracer1919 Santa Clara use to be my home track 🏁
@@BMXTraining santa clara bmx utah?
I don't know if this comes under focus really, I love listing to Warrior by Hannah Kerr. when I do listen to it gets my nerves and it just get me relaxed more before go up on the gate
Ashley, so basically what you're doing by listening to Warrior is putting you into a state of mind. However that makes you think or feel is shifting you from the state you were previously in. Good work!
Hi coach g, I was just wondering at what horn or what light do you start to make your first movement, or when are you supposed to react at a random start gate
Start your reaction on the first light or the first horn, it's up to you to make it work best for you
What Ashley said. Check the live video from this past week. I go over this topic in the questions segment.
Back in the day my first move was up with front tire.
I would try blow the gate down
That's right, back in my day was the same, and today it's different with the random cadence and the important emphasis of a healthy and powerful second and third pedal accelration.
Hlo how do you jump how do you jump to get that feeling out
Deep breath in, deep breath out. Stand, arms straight, wrist forward, check crank position,, deep breath in deep breath out ...EXPLODE! I like my competitors so I dont want to "kill them", that gate tho....we aren't friends lol
I’m pretty new to BMX and im pretty good already but i have trouble when i start in starting gate i start in the lead and then i get slower in middle so idk iff i should start so fast
Always start out fast and end fast! This could simply be a conditioning issue...
for me to Focus on is the light
to me focus is looking in front of me and figuring out what i could do that is faster on the jumps when im in the gate
Thanks for sharing! 🏁
I'm 12 intermediate going to expert and for the things that help me to focus would be staring at the light And just preparing my mind and get all the distracting thoughts out
Love it!
Hover right off the seat way back almost looks like sitting down shot out of the gate a couple feet ahead of everyone , Usually got first place unless Danny Ortiz my main competition was there
Hi! I found that once I got faster I keep snapping to early on the gate. Any tips?
Lean back further.
@@BMXTraining thanks I’ll try that at practice
My focus is on the gate drop and the first straight and after the corner...
focusing feels like staring at nothing while completely shifting your attention to (in my case) the beep sounds. thats what it feels like to me
A jump jump jump how do you do
My 6 year old said focus to him is looking a few metres ahead not at the gate like the cadence says😎🤷♂️
If it works, then that is perfect for him!
I focus on my balance. Relaxed, still as a glass of water.
I like that!
i get scared when the gates open and the sound goes can you help me with that
Do you want one on one help?
So idk if anyone will respond but I have a fear of flipping the gate and my reaction time is not good because of that and I’ve practiced many (well some) reaction games and I don’t know how to overcome this so anything helps :D
I love this kind of stuff. Fear is just protecting you because of a prior incident and you labeled what that meant or a belief that one may happen. If you can change the meaning of a gate start then you can overcome or overwrite the belief (the meaning). So, if you fear flipping the gate, then what would you like to do instead?
Sometimes at the bigger races I cannot hear the cadence very well. I might want to become a light looker.
Do whatever seems the most effective!
I honestly just yolo it and focus on winning.
Focus on the outcome you want, not the outcome you don’t want!
@@BMXTraining Ok thanks!
@2:28 Duggie!
I've found that taking a few deep breaths while sitting in the gate
Thanks!! This helped me calm down ps I get really nervous at the gate
💪👏👏👏👏
Thanks Rodrigo! Keep snappin'!
Your friends with Tyler right?
Tyler Brown?
Yes
@@Coreybmx114 yes why do you ask?
@@BMXTraining because I saw him in one of your videos
@@Coreybmx114 yes, we’re great friends, I used to coach him when he was an Elite and he helps me out a ton.
Reps
Balance when sitting down due to limited knee range of motion. Too old😮
