The “oh shit” drill When people can slalom three times on and off the coté between the start of turn 1 and the finish of turn 2 with no bumps or thumps, they are ready for the “oh shit” drill. Two riders at a time, on opposite sides of the track, accelerate to 30 km/h on the apron and move up onto the track in the corner without going above the black line and without feeling a bump at the transition from the apron to the coté. Those who are expert at doing this attempt it at increasingly high speeds, up to a maximum of 35 km/h. If, for whatever reason, you ever find yourself down off the track on the straightway traveling at over 35 km/h towards the turn, this is the drill you want to have mastered. |
