Navigating Amateur Motocross with Derek Harris
Master the Physics & Physiology Behind Your Speed
Stop fighting the laws of heat, humidity, and energy systems. Learn how to pace, fuel, hydrate, and ride in a way that protects both the engine and the athlete—especially during multi-day events like Loretta Lynn’s, Daytona, and GNCC.
Eliminate the Bad Habits That Kill Power
Fix the clutch abuse, over-revving, panic-revving, and sprint-speed mistakes that destroy bikes and bodies. Use data—not emotion—to ride smarter, conserve power, and reduce overheating, adrenal fatigue, and late-race fade.
Train With Precision, Not Guesswork
Use heart rate zones, lactate-threshold work, VO₂ testing, drag race drills, and proper intensity control to build an engine capable of handling 20-minute motos—not just 4-minute qualifiers. Train the way racing actually demands.
Fuel & Hydrate Like Performance Depends on It (Because It Does)
Beat heat-induced power loss with proper calories, electrolytes, and hydration strategies. Avoid RED-S, low sugar availability, irritability, night sweats, and mid-moto crashes in Body Battery by fueling like a real racer, not a gambler.
Build a Team Environment Where Riders Speak Up
Create open communication between rider, parents, mechanic, and coach. When something feels wrong—on the bike or in the body—address it early. That awareness is your unfair advantage when 1,000+ riders are fighting for 42 spots at Loretta’s.
