The Ultimate XC MTB Racing Tips

This year for me (so far) has been all about getting as fast as I can for Mountain Bike Cross Country racing. Every race and every training session has been a massive learning curve and I have been picking up a lot on the way, which is slowly helping me become a faster XC mountain biker. Therefore, I thought I would share some of the tips I have learnt with you.
I hope you enjoyed the video and please do Like & Subscribe!

Tip #1 should be ‘Get yourself a supportive partner’ - you certainly nailed that one…The Rocket deserves a medal for what you put her through! 😂 Another cracking vlog

[@sarahll1093]

Annoyed I didn’t think of that when he asked me now 😂 Far more important than a mud guard and bell!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂 she’s alright I guess…

[@bluemootang3239]

Another tip is try not to blast by everyone at the start of the race, yes blast by alot of people but leave at least id say 2 or 3 people ahead of you for that wear later in the race. Draft of the leaders it'll make it alot easier throughout the race and you'll have more umph to give towards the end of the race

[@andrepstace9115]

Great tips for a newbie. Noticed you had a different front fork on? Or you riding a different bike?

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Riding a different bike 😬😂

[@HKRoad]

Thank you. I’ve had a look at the BC website already and there’s nothing in this area listed at all😢.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

A lot of the races won’t be uploaded for another month or so… if you check back end of January I think more events will be uploaded 👌

[@leeemead]

😎😎

[@HKRoad]

Where are all these XC races? They look like fun.

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

All over the UK… I sign up to most through the British cycling website but some can also be found on a website called moredirt 👌

[@mark-jx6qi]

ride with people who are stronger/better then you at your strengths and your weaknesses

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

100% but I get onto that in the next video… you’re a step ahead of me 😜😂

@@GiorgioCoppolaCycling At my age, it hurts way too much and way too long when I fall down.😀

[@syrus3k]

I give you two weeks and she'll be filling for divorce, but it was worth it for the lolz George

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂😂

[@sidthebid]

more compassion should have been shown to 'the rocket' when she swallowed a fly ... some taste horrible and have caused me to wretch on numerous occasions!

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

😂😂 it’s all good on bike nutrition 🤔 as long as you can stomach them 😂
