I love back shots: Hannah carries speed through the turns

Saturday, March 10, 2012


What makes a motocross rider really fast?  One major component is how the athlete carries speed through the turns.  They brake later and come out faster.

Please see photo above for a teaching example.  Hannah has the wick on as he sets up for the next straightaway and has a bead on up-and-comer Kenny Keylon (I think that's him, the Trim riding gear makes sense).

I'm not of the era of the massive 4-strokes and in truth I'm glad.  Loved to watch these legendary pros wring out the 2-strokes.  Brrrrraaaapppp! and the smell of mix in the air.  Lovely.
