The key to a great gate start
A BMX gate start is one of those things that is super quick, super powerful, very technical and requires precise timing. Now that everyone at the top level is so good, no one can afford to have a bad gate.
Gate Starts From The Ground Up is an ebook and training program designed to help you break bad habits and finally significantly improve your gate.
As I described on @allthingsbmxshow my philosophy for teaching gate starts requires the rider to project their body weight forward as they momentarily relax their lower body.
This is one of those things that’s easier said than done. I believe that learning this on the gate itself is tough to do. I love using the @sprintblock for this.
In the book I provided a more in-depth progression for teaching a powerful counter-movement gate start and eventually incorporating it back to the track.
