Trees Don't Move.

Going to race my first woods race and I thought I'd reach out here for some tips. I've only ever raced moto and I have a 45min woods race coming up.

I have the shirt “trees always win” but similar…45 minutes so shouldn’t have to pace yourself too much. Just try to latch onto the guy in front of you ride within your abilities, nothing ruins the day more than an injury. Have fun!

Proper suspension settings would help the most if you have the time/money. Other than that, stand up as much as possible!

Make sure you have some good knee braces for the trees. I prefer Mobius because of the plastic caps help on impacts…..ooops , I’m too late. Good luck on the recovery and on a serious note the Mobius is a very good brace.

I was wearing Pod knee braces.  Im sure if I was wearing nothing my knee would be in much worse shape.

45 minutes.....90 is the shortest around here. I much prefer the trees to a track.

I beg to differ- I’d swear a few have jumped out in front of me over the years! Sneaky bastards!😂
