Not only did I get to race against Barry Hawk at the US Sprint Enduro, but I got to interview him after the fact as to why he’s so much better than me as a racer. Some may not want to revel in their defeat, but me, I want to learn from it!
Barry Hawk breaks down what he learned when riders Juha Salminen and David Knight came over to race the GNCC Series. He learned quickly that they were getting the speed on course due to their “european lines”. At that time, he was riding lines like I did, more “american lines”. It was an awesome breakdown of what he saw 20 years ago, and what we hear discussed from Texas ISDE racers like Brian Storrie and the O’Leary Brothers.
Two other topics discussed were riding with patience and off-camber turns. Barry told us that even he has to remind himself to not push it when too much in certain situations. He wants to ride smoothly, with less opportunities for mistakes. The off-camber turns discussion as one that helped me understand what’s happening between the rider and bike a lot more. I don’t immediately want more of them, but I don’t think I’m as leary of them now.
If you enjoyed this episode, please share with your riding buddies. Grabbing a shirt or Utility Can Caddy from the Shop is also a huge help. Enjoy #GettingSeattime & Stay #Stoked! 🤘🏻🤙🏻⚡️
