Bump and Grind

 

The purpose of this drill is to prevent riders from panicking if they rub shoulders or knuckles.  In pairs side by side on the concrete rolling around inside of  the apron with their hands on the drops, have people ride up close to one another and bump shoulders, head butt, and use their knees and elbows to push off of one another.  It is very important for this drill that at least one rider in each pair have their hands on the drops to avoid interlocking handlebars.  After a number of laps have the riders switch position, rider on the outside going inside.  Experienced sprinters can practice this drill up on the track.
