@Kristian Julian I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
As an ex mtb racer from the 90's, I F*****G LOVE THIS !!!!!! Great Job. You are setting the standard for bike race coverage. Beeaaauuutiful ! perfect commentary as well. It adds something very special to hear the racer give thoughts from the race filmed from his bike. Are you guys the first to do this ????

cool insight especially after watching all the crit videos, some amazing bike handling on display here, please do a mid race camera wipe next time though!!
Super cool video lots of great info. Been Mtbiking for 2 years and want to really start taking it serious. A lot of things I learned from this video. Are you guys going to do one on Xc racing? Any tips on how to keep max heart rate down?
If TR is based out of the Los Angeles area, it might be worth reaching out to Ben Goyette. He records all his XC races and puts on the data overlay. It would be great to interview him while analyzing his races.
I run both regularly, The Aspens are amazing, and lighter than the Rekon Race. I feel like they are way more predictable on loose fine gravel too. however, wet grass in a straight line they are like a slick so zero to no grip, same on any slippery surface when you are upright.(Many a sketchy zero traction skid into a corner on a grass section on a sunrise race start) You dont get the benefit of the awesome side knobs until youre leaned over. This obviously can make slippery (wet) banked turns a little sketchy. Personally the Aspen is my tyre of choice for any event. They do wear out fast though, maybe 30% quicker than the Rekon race, and another caveat is because they dont have a whole lot of rubber sharp stones can tear them open a little easier (Ive had two unpluggable punctures where I have had to use a sock inside the tyre to stop the tube poking out in order to finish. I doubt the Rekon race would have punctured because there are deeper and a lot more "lugs". Just my 2c based on maybe 7 sets of Rekon Races and many many many more sets of Aspens... The ONLY other tyre I use is the Vittoria Mezcal. If they were lighter they would be the perfect mix of both the Rekon Race and the Aspen. They are FAST. They have the new version of it, but they dont have the TNT sidewall protection, which would be ok if you dont race on very rocky trails... Leave the IKON and the Ardent race on the shelf unless you want a tyre that can last twice as long...
@@WRXJIM Thanks for the reply! I'm always looking for an edge in XC races. I'm currently running a Schwalbe Racing Ralph (old style HS) in the front and a Thunder Burt in the rear. (I live in Michigan so not much rock to be found unless you head to the upper peninsula. ) The thunder burt is not the best handling tire, but they are really light with minimal rolling resistance on our fast race courses.
kmac720 you’ll LOvE the Aspens. So much corner grip while being a super fast roller. I train on the Rekons (or Vittoria Mezcals TNT version) but race on the Aspens. There is a reason N1NO runs them pretty much exclusively (granted he get the “Pro only” 170TPI model) the tread is the same just not as supple. They do wear fast though.
We use a software called DaVinci Resolve where you can overlay the videos, export and then upload that into Garmin VIRB Edit where you sync up the gpx file from a Garmin device and overlay the data.
Hey I'm a highschool racer in NorCal league, wondering why on such a short race some riders are resting/not pedaling on slight downhill sections or less sharp corners. I feel like just a little bit of extra effort on these sections can cut down on a lot of time. Edit: also seeing some of the of the ways you guys try to get more aerodynamic is very interesting, will definitely try next race!
Nice talk through and all. But whats the point of the front shocks here wouldn't a lighter for be more important? Also why not a cyclo- cross bike because there didn't seem to be any need for a mountain bike geometry on this track. Is there a wheel size rule or something? So many subdivisions in mountain bike racing I think they are diluting the sport personally.
Short track racing does bear some similarities to CX racing, however, there are some key differences. Specifically, CX races tend to have more turns than a short track MTB course, as well as various obstacles like barriers, sand pits, run-ups, that keep the average speed lower and may require you to dismount from your bike.
More XC please. 😃😃
Stay tuned! We have more videos planned throughout the season :)
Hapoy to see more XC. Looking forward to see more of these
We'll keep 'em coming!

As an avid MTB guy who is getting into road cycling, I’m happy to see this content!! Super cool :D
Thanks so much for watching, William, and keep an eye out for more!!
Isnt this awesome!? Same here, mtb first real love in my early teens, get into road decades later and now this is all I wanna do
I love racing XC... although it’ll probably never see the heyday it had in the 90’s, it looks like it’s finally making a bit of a comeback.
It's so good to see!
This is great! 👍🏻 short track is a BLAST
Great video. Hope to see some more MTB race videos.
Keep an eye out for more of these, Rob! We're planning on sticking a camera on a few more MTB racers. ;)
Well done awesome race, very hard on the limit, looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks for watching, David!

Our cameras certainly get dirtier off-road! I think Keegan had more pressing matters to focus on at the time.
@@TrainerRoad viewers over victory 😂😂
Those wooden stakes need to go!! Dangerous as heck man! 😬
+1 GREAT VIDEO. This kind of information and all the strategy suggestions are so helpful and great to watch. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! We're so glad these videos are helpful for you.
I don't even ride mountain bikes, but that was really entertaining, and I learned a tonne!
We're so glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.
being mathieu van der poel must be fun. Tactics...wind...what are you on about?
Fun video with lots of great insights. I much prefer MTB, so I was very happy with this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!!! You can't beat the fun of sliding around in the dirt. ;)
Cool to see him get absolutely shelled in short track race but 4 years later win unbound.
More more XC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This vid and a caffeine gel got me thru Carpathian Peak +3 with no backpedaling!!!! Great job guys!
Awesome!! Nice work and thanks for watching! :)

We're actually in Reno, NV, but thanks for the suggestion!
This is great!
Thanks for watching!
Keegan mentions he was running the Aspens. Curious his thoughts on the Recon Races? I'm thinking about giving them a try.
Great question! He'll be on the podcast again soon, so we will ask him then.

Drew Cama in the UCI category I believe racers are required to use the same bike in both the short track and the XCO race.
10:16 must have been too tired to free roll to the front
Why not use a cross bike? It doesn't look that technical
Ben Tankus the bike you race in short track is the same bike you have to race in the cx Olympic
Very nice to see this kind of video. :)
We're glad you like the MTB content!
Awesome Video! How did you put that data on the screen?
This looks like CX CycloCross on Mt bikes ?
