At the end of my racing days, I raced 125A, 250A and 16-24 on a CR500. That was when I learned how to use my legs because my arms were effed. It is a mental thing but if you can learn it, it will help a lot.
With training, what you put in is what you get out. Aside from diet & excercise, when the weather cooperates (when its nice and cool, or even cold) my training was absolutely brutal by todays standards. I would use the old GP format: 45 minutes + 2 laps. At full race speed. Thats still my benchmark for today. I might take an extra day to recover now since Ive been doing this for nearly 4 decades, but improvement never ends. Oh, and last time I paid $12.29/gallon for 100 octane race gasoline.
I think there's an interesting video idea in trying to replicate your training schedule Doc. I'd love to be able to do a 45 minute moto at race pace....I'm going to try and build up to that over the winter I think! Thanks for watching as always
Amazing effort Max!! I think you made a good point at the end by saying you had no coaching or gym work 9 seconds is amazing. Can you imagine what you could do with cia hing and fitness work!
amazing video and great riding !!!! What a awesome demonstration some like I have never seen - enjoyed the commitment it takes to do something like this !!!! Cannot imagine the sore body parts lol - Thank you and your team for everything you do for our moto community - truly the best moto channel on the tube !!! 🏁🏁🏁🏁
Thanks Mike, comments like this really inspire us to keep on keeping on :-D The body was definitely very sore, my arms were so tight. i felt like i had arm pump 24/7!
This was fantastic! I was cheering you on for the final day like one of my own kids. Great job on the 9 seconds and another extremely entertaining video. Bravo 👏
Fantastic video and your journey max, I don't think we all appreciate how much work , time and dedication you put into bringing us quality videos , week after week , thank you Max, bet Sean's getting worried now.
Thanks a lot Kevin :-D This was probably our most ambitious video yet but the results were well worth the effort! Sean has already told me that he's going for that triple next time he's at the track haha
Great to watch your dedication to motorcross. Enjoyed watching it!! Just goes to show how much effort there is behind the scenes to put in the hours. Dunk
Thanks for watching as always Micheal :-) I'm going to try and keep it up over the winter with regular riding, but that's easier said than done with the weather here...lol
That was maximum effort for sure. I did a 15 minute session there at the end, but lap 3 & 4 i gave it everything...the laps after that were a struggle lol! Thanks for watching as always dude :-D
When I was in my best shape from running and some light weight lifting, going out and riding trails on my mountain bike were definitely a challenge despite my fitness level. No wonder pro AMA riders in moto/supercross are so focused on fitness.
ok - wicked video and bloody hell, i said 2 secs in my 1st post below would be vast - watched the video and bam, 9 secs is brilliant, what a trip fella - that is some serious work and a massive improvement, i'd still like to see the moto time more though 🙂
Just started the video. Back in my day 1990's through 2000. I had no one coaching me and made it to a pro license. I messed myself up after that. I wanted it and did it myself. Anyone can do it now especially if you want it with more focus on this sport from all the schools and all that.
That's very surprising how much you gained. Did you have a go at predicting how much faster you'd be if you had the confidence? In conclusion, would you recommend only bike training or like 75/25 mix for specific areas that perhaps don't improve by more riding? Excellent experiment. That was quite emotional lol. ✌️
Thanks for taking the time to watch dude, i'm glad it's not just me getting emotional at the end lol To answer your question I think for young riders/kids on bike training is the most important thing for sure. Nothing beats that seat time, learning your bike and the tracks. But the older/ more serious you get mixing in other types of training becomes more important i would say. Strength and flexibility probably being the two main areas to work on away from the bike, endurance and cardio can be improved whilst on the bike i think after doing this challenge
I was wrong on both counts. I thought you'd have lost more weight but seen less time improvement. I'm an old guy and agree/relieved I don't have to go running lol. Strength and flexibility over and above makes a lot of sense too. Excellent job bro. Enjoy the new found speed 😊
E quello che ci vuole per avere assoluta padronanza della moto e migliorare la propria prestanza fisica.e stato il miglior allenamento quando correvo,crf 250/crf450..bravo, complimenti x il video x la tenacia e la smisurata passione x il nostro bellissimo sport..for the love,of the sport.nofear
I love ur channel and love all the content you do been watching for years and you have helped me though some tuff tuff times and got me loving and riding again after years but in my unlucky life I'm at the bottom end of the scale with cheep old raged bikes witch just don't last and yet again I'm left with a blown up crf250 with no means of getting it fixed or me riding again but at least I can live my riding though you still keep on smashing it lads
Sorry to hear about the CRF Danny, that sucks. Hopefully you can get it sorted in time. We'll keep the vids coming though dude, comments like this help us to push through our own tough times and inspire me to keep on creating. So thanks for that dude and thanks for taking the time to watch all these years :-D
change circuit often and train on a 250 2t motorbike, in the morning 2 ride of 25 minutes and in the afternoon repeat the routine, train every other day, by doing so you will greatly improve your performance level and strength
I learnt a lot during the making of this, many things i know i would do different if we were to go again. Changing circuit being the main one i would tell anyone to make sure to do. Thanks for watching dude
We managed to sneak in a few 2 Stroke motos in the middle there! ;-D GasGas offered to loan me to bike for the summer and the opportunity was just too good to refuse. This video idea was perfect for it as well and the CUO / mobile app made it much easier to track my progress. The next challenge we'll make a 2 Stroke one though! :-D Thanks for watching as always mate
Very cool video max! I for one would have been very curious to see stats like how you lap times faded less over the motos over time. Number of laps completed over time. I did guess at about a 10second saving but it was clear you were ripping towards the end.
Thanks for taking the time to watch dude :-D Pretty much every moto I did was recorded on the CUO device (other than the rides I did on other machines) so I have all the data. Maybe a follow up video is needed. I will say the lap time fade through the month certainly got a lot better...although on day 30 in my final moto i did two laps at maximum effort mid way through the moto and the laps after dropped off a looot! lol
Interesting video. I wish I could go to the track more often, but most tracks won't have me because I am disabled (wheelchair user) quad bike rider Most tracks blame it on insurance policys so I can only really go every other Sunday at Leisure Lakes mx Southport. They have been amazing with me🙂
I'd love to get out on the mountain bike. Our Drone guy Dan is big into the MTB scene is always trying the get me out with him down in the surrey hills....there aren't too many mountains in Cambridgeshire though! lol
Never wear a t-shirt wile riding...it gets wet and stops the airflow, which make you overheat. Better to wear like a basketball vest or similar if your armor irritate your skin, or change armor, or wear it on the outsite. I started riding before internet was a thing, had nobody to ask for tips and tricks, so had to learn the hard way with t-shirt and hockey chest pads....
daily take a ride on the bike really pay's off bud very havy on fysiek i think you did very good keeping this up for me 2 day's a week is is good feeling so torqd the day later ..
Very cool concept and idea. Do you think that cadence would be sustainable for another month, or do you feel 1-2 days of rest per week could've elicited even bigger gains and allowed you to continue this indefinitely?
I don't think this would have been sustainable for much longer just in terms of logistics let alone the riding side of it. I think having some rest days built in would have at least given me the same results in terms of the fast lap - even though i was sore and aching i had at least one lap in me. But rest days would've helped me a lot for the full moto allowing me to survive longer harder motos for sure
@@999lazer Well stated and cool to hear. I know many might think more is better, not recognizing there comes a point of diminishing return, hope viewers read your comment!
@@999lazer I am only kidding. Wishing you guys the best on that build. Please be as transparent as possible about the purchase/acquisition, install and final thoughts before I shell out big $. 👊🏼
I love all dirt bikes to be fair, 2 Strokes are obviously preferred though. But for a challenge like this I'd much rather put the hours on a loan bike...it would've been a lot more painful putting the time in on the RM that's for sure! lol
being a runner and being able to run half marathons my endurance is very high so even though my friends are faster at riding than me I can go for so much longer than they can.
The trouble with the clocks going back, when is there daylight hours (with a job) to fit all this practice in? Now Jeffery Herlings lives on his bike (but that's his job!)
I did manage to log a few 2 Stroke motos in the middle there....but logging the laps on the loan bike seemed like a more sensible idea. Plus the data logger on the 4 Stroke made the challenge a lot easier to keep track of
shouldn't it be how much you drop from the moto rather than laps if this is about fitness/speed/bike time? also - ground conditions, not sure you will get the same on day 30 considering our time of year - of course i don't know when this was started.... i dare say 2 seconds a lap would be a vast improvement, the moto matters more to me though
Measuring the time dropped over the moto was actually my initial idea, but I decided it would be was less cinematic and more difficult to squeeze all those laps into an already long video. I think the the one lap dash format is a bit more intense for the video, and the drama of actually seeing how much speed i've gained was cool. I know from the data collected from the CUO device though that my times definitely became more consistent over the course of the 30 days
That would've made this video a loooot easier lol But i'm kinda of glad we had to travel and put in the miles for it, it's more realistic and more relatable for the every day rider. Which is what most of us are :-)
From about 2008 to 2016 I wore a neck brace every time i rode....since then not at all. My last one got damaged whilst in the gear bag and i just never replaced it. Hardly any top pros wear them anymore either, maybe that's why I didn't feel much urgency to replace mine...
@ I really believe they help, look into it a bit, We would zip tie it to our chest protector, but back then we had the ones that went over the jersey and included shoulder pads.
It's called the Donk Track nears Kings Lynn in the UK. Like i said in the video private members only, but there's usually space to join at the start of each season :-D
@dennismillus4581 explain this then Chad Reed don't know if you have heard of him 🤔. Said that his ktm sxf450 race bike is quicker than his factory yz 250 on track. He allso tried a kx500 and he was quicker on the 450. He said the 450 was more stable,had more bottom end and had great traction out of the corners,and great power off the jumps. So I'll listen to an ex world champion not someone who just owns a cr500 😊
I think these 30 in a row challenges are not very clever. Better would be 4 times 5 days on a row, so muscles and nervous systems would have more time to recover and adapt. And u riding would be quality riding at beginnig on of each stint
I agree for sure. If i was to do it again i'd lessen the days, have some more rest time and change up the tracks more often. I think the improvements would be even better. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment dude
Well done, the brits are on fire! Very interesting challenge, thank you! What if I telling you I did 8 seconds faster same track/bike in one day? Thorpey don't tell you? ;-) Hook me up buddy... (linkedin shot my account down lately).
Bring your elbows up. You’re over exaggerating your movement. Practice smooth and slow movements you’re going to create bad Habits trying to be as intense as you can.
I'd like to do another similar challenge where I get intensive coaching to see how much faster/safer I can get on the bike. I think that'd be cool as well. Thanks for watching :-)
We managed to sneak in a few 2 Stroke motos in the middle there at least....the opportunity to ride the GasGas was just too good to refuse though. Next time we'll make it a 2 Stroke challenge ;-D
The confidence in the final hot lap is extremely noticeable. Well done on this journey, cracking effort!

I think these 30 in a row challenges are not very clever. Better would be 4 times 5 days on a row, so muscles and nervous systems would have more time to recover and adapt. And u riding would be quality riding at beginnig on of each stint
I agree for sure. If i was to do it again i'd lessen the days, have some more rest time and change up the tracks more often. I think the improvements would be even better. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment dude
Well done, the brits are on fire!
Very interesting challenge, thank you!
What if I telling you I did 8 seconds faster same track/bike in one day? Thorpey don't tell you? ;-)
Hook me up buddy... (linkedin shot my account down lately).
Any chance of a pm me regarding membership. I’m Local and can’t get hold of Stuart on the email.
Mega riding! Looks tough.
Bring your elbows up. You’re over exaggerating your movement. Practice smooth and slow movements you’re going to create bad Habits trying to be as intense as you can.
I'd like to do another similar challenge where I get intensive coaching to see how much faster/safer I can get on the bike. I think that'd be cool as well. Thanks for watching :-)
No 2 stroke :(
We managed to sneak in a few 2 Stroke motos in the middle there at least....the opportunity to ride the GasGas was just too good to refuse though. Next time we'll make it a 2 Stroke challenge ;-D
Good content again
Thanks Ashely

What is it about the sound of a four stroke dirt bike that makes me want to take a nap?
