Beginners have a tough time looking over their shoulder while keeping their bike strait. Have your partner ride several bike lengths behind you. At regular intervals look over your shoulder and call out how many fingers they are holding up. Have your partner give you feedback on if your bike veered or stayed strait. •Bumping: This needs to be performed on a grassy field using a mountain bike. Have your partner “bump” you slightly and touch shoulders simulating situations that occur in pack racing. You should get used to contact with other riders and not panicking in these situations. •Riding Position: Practice transitioning smoothly from various riding positions such as sprinting, climbing in and out ofrepparttar 133138 saddle, and descending. •Drafting: Have your partner vary their speed overrepparttar 133139 course and try to maintain a constant distance from their rear wheel.

Performing these drills a few times per season will not help you much. You must take what you learn and apply it constantly while you are onrepparttar 133140 road. Good habits must be practiced thousands of times before they become good form.
