Wynocon Training The Betters and the Fails

Image
Wynocon, the better parts and the fails, that makes training belong on a class of it's own. In this video we can again see that Wynocon is one of those people that will never stop till he gets it right, some of the things he practices he gets right fast and then is there other parts he battles with, but stopping and saying it is to hard, NEVER. He practice his race starts as often as he can but, the tires and fast pace training is his favorite. Te race starts is for all races, the speed training is mostly for Enduro cross country, it helps to ad speed to his WFO Enduro races as well but the tires is mostly for WFO where more extreme technique is applicable. The cross country here in is region is mostly trails with steep up and down hills and forestry, The WFO races is extreme, like rocky mountains, river crossings, some rock hopping ans log jumps. Training for Wynocon is a must, for the Regional races is not for the faint hearted and he loves it.

This video also shows that hard work pays off, watch till the end and you will see that the beginning of the tire training she just rode over the tires and at the end she jumps both of the tires.
