    This book is a great read and is full of advice and quotes from all the top MGP riders. It covers everything.
    I have a copy of this one. Almost the same as Twist of the wrist with pretty pictures and stuff. Nice gift it was!!

    Trick is to learn the basics of racing first,

    Dont run before you can crawl.

    Get yourself fit Physically and Mentally as in a long hot race you need to be mentally fit or else you are just gonna crack.

    I never had this and my first year on a 125 I got disorentated and forgot what I was doing. And what I did was run and when I couldnt run any more because of the pain I told myself to keep going I did this lots. Keeps my mind in place,

    Think about the track the bike and what you are there for!!!!!!
    Think you are the best!!!!!!!!!! otherwise you wont do so well
    Dont be happy with a last place
    Keep focusing


    Dont ride on the ride like a hoon

    I gave up road riding and went faster straight away I could concentrate on doing Race moves only

    Umm yeah and thats it really from me


    Oh and dont focus on things like getting your knee down let it do it itself youl go alot faster than trying to do it.

    And if your struggling with atrackdraw it down or whatever and work one corner at a time dont try work all 7 or whatever corners at once or else youl forget what you did at turn one just work them in series one by one
    And the thigns will come naturally

    Now Im not the fastest rider out there but this is what I did and its made me improve

    Seriously, I reckon Tom should pm a couple of the gun riders/guys who have ben racing for years. Guys like Shaun and Frosty (both of whom are unfortunatly not here at the moment sorry! ) Look around the race report threads and pm some of the guys there
    Eh? PM Frosty, or Shaun?

    Couple of "has beens" mate. There's a new emerging talent in NZ road racing. Anyone that gets his knee down several times on the way to and from Uni or whatever should be giving THOSE guys tips.

    In seriousness, if you're after better "race fitness", you should be training within your target heart rate. Therefore, if during a race, your heart rate is 130 bpm, that's the zone you should do your cardio training at. This will build your stamina at that rate.

    I recommend rowing machines, and stay away from big weights, stick with stamina stuff. Pull ups should be done in conjunction with your pushups.
    Don't give up road riding, don't ride like a dick but use it to hone your technique, body positioning etc. Work on lines, smoothness and listening to what the bike is telling you.
