ABA Supercamp Clinic
A ABA SUPERCAMP clinic is held at your local track for 3 hours.
The clinic is an intense workout on BMX fundamentals (as is their Camp)
with breaks for resting and refreshments. During the clinic the trainer
will demonstrate the technics of good gates, riding the track and how to
use each obstacle to increase speed and as they say 'keep the back tire on
the ground'. What a BMX racer needs to look at when riding a track. Each
rider has ample time and chance to try each technic used in the clinic and
the trainer will let you know if there is a problem and offers insight on
correcting the situation to better each rider.
A riders point of view
Things got started by introducing the trainer and his assistant (Trainer,
Ken Cools and Assistant Burlin Harris). Getting to know the riders names
and going over the items to be covered in the clinic and why. We then moved
our first big jump and was shown a few ways to 'ride' the step-double
starting with the basics and then on to the more experienced levels. Each
time being shown by our trainer each technic.
After the demonstrations on the big jump we then worked on improving our
gates. No 'slingshots' here, just basic starting technics and we watched as
Ken demonstrated a basic start. Then we worked on this technic and got our
share of insight as to what we did wrong and how to work to correct our
problems.
Next on the list was an intense work-out on the 'rhythym section' of the
track. We were shown the basic way to work it to get to the finish line and
then shown how and where to use a little flair. The main thing was to get
in and use your own judgement on how to ride this section of the track.
Each rider had many chances to run thru and all the time our trainer was
watching each rider and giving each what was needed to improve their riding
and how to get faster. After all that is what it is about 'getting faster'.
In the end we all came away as better riders and (I) would recommend this
to each rider no matter how good they are now this will improve the way
each rider gets from start to finish.
