How can you blitz a whoops section like a pro

In this photo, you can clearly see how James keeps his body neutral on the bike, which gives him much more control

Welcome to my third writeup on riding tips! For this new article, I chose to talk about the infamous Whoops Section! Just hearing these 2 words together makes most people tremble in fear (ok I’m overdoing it…or am I?). For those of you who don’t know what “blitzing” means, it’s basically when you keep both your front and rear wheels from dropping in-between 2 whoops and stay on top of the valleys all the way through. Correctly blitzing a whoops section is one of the toughest thing you can do on a dirt bike – of course it also depends on the size and steepness of the whoops in question – much harder then jumping a big triple or going through a rhythm section.

How to relax before a race and have more energy

Everyone gets anxious and nervous before a race, even the fastest riders in the world, and if you don’t, it probably means you don’t give a rat’s a$$ about racing and you should look for something new to do on the weekends…

Stress is a funny thing, it can really drain all your energy, and before you know, you’re already tired just sitting on the starting line! If you can learn how to control your anxiety better and not let it get to you during the race weekend, you’ll have much more energy on and off the bike.

So, if everyone on the track is as nervous as I am, then what’s their secret you ask? How come they don’t seem nervous? Is there some kind of magic potion I can drink? Sorry to disappoint you, but there are no secrets or magic potions to make it go away. Did you really think it was gonna be this easy?
It all comes down to “How” you handle your stress, and what state of mind you put yourself in the week prior to the race. These 2 things are what’s gonna make all the difference in the end. ...Keep reading to find out how to control your stress...

New iphone game delayed

2xl atv freestyle

2XL ATV OffRoad for iPhone has been delayed

It’s been almost 1 month now since we submitted our new game, “2XL ATV OffRoad”, to Apple for revision, and things didn’t go as smoothly as the submition process for our previous iPhone game, “2XL Supercross”, which got approved in just over 1 week.

I’m sure that Apple is drowning under the amount of apps they must recieve and review every week, and that’s probably why our new offroad game isn’t availble in the app store yet. 2 weeks after we submitted a final build of “2XL ATV OffRoad” to apple, we heard back from them and they had rejected the game for a new multiplayer feature we put in. I won’t get into it because I don’t want to get in trouble (the reason why they rejected the app is really…weird).

We fixed the issue right away and re-submitted the game back to apple on the same day. This happened almost 2 weeks ago now, and we’re hopping Apple will approve it this time…
Apparently, you don’t get back at the front of the line when you re-submit a game, and I sure hope Apple won’t reject the game again for another reason (although I would think they did tell us everything we needed to fix the first time around?!).

I am really excited for 2XL ATV OffRoad to come out, I think lots of people will be very pleased with the improvements we made to the graphics, gameplay and amount of content! So cross your fingers and keep checking the app store every other day looking for the game, hopefully it will be available soon.
