Competition Mess-ups?

[Matt Dibble]

For all you people who have been to comps, what do you think you could've done better or done something different?

I've got a decent sized list for mine haha:

1) Not drank 3 energy drinks, I was super pumped but they made my legs spasm like crazy and it hurt really bad.
2) Planned out runs, not just rode around the first one trying to use the whole park.
3) Rode at my best level.

When I was thinking about whether or not to make this thread, I had so many more. I guess I'll update when I remember them.

Post yours.

1 stay calm
2 make my shit up as i go
3 try to do stuff i no i can land and save the tuff stuff for the end
4 dont kick hard unless you need to a try not to waste energy

I get sore so easy... before TIC and XW we rode the parks the day before and i rode hardcore both days... next day at both the comps i was sore as hell.

For TIC i planned out runs, and i did sooo bad. For XW i didn't plan out anything except my first trick and i ended up winning it. If i compete in TIC this year im not planning anything

 

[Tyler Ha1e]

at TIC i sucked balls..no accaption i sucked horrible it was embarrasing... hopefully i do beter this year..ive thought about what i want to throw into my runs so hopefully it works out

 

[young08]

hopefully legacy or montruex

1. eaten more that day (we left VT like 5 a.m. and all i had was 1 meal at mcdonalds the entire day)
2. slept more the night before..(went to bed around 2 a.m. the night before and i couldnt fall asleep in the car..haha)
3. not ridden as much before the acctual comp, i was exhausted by the time my runs came around
4. gotten first? hahaha, idk

1. Stay calm because I was pretty nervous right before my first run but I felt a lot better once it was over.

Just remember to have fun, don't take everything too seriously. Like Stan did with his first run, lots of footplant tailwhips and stuff. Just take it easy, if you don't win or don't do a perfect run nothing's going to happen.

[kevinleone]

my run was worst, i broke my handlebar before my run. so i used kc's scooter, and on my second run, i had a cramp.
this year will be better

 

[dan barrett]

i was throwing all these big tricks and not landing them at TIC, XW just consistant stuff i KNOW i can land

[farmboy uk]

[AX3D]

Worst idea ever.

There was a fat chick in our class and I just started laughing haha.

XW
-planned out runs... bad idea..
-if you have a run you are trying, dont go back to do a trick you missed.

SD
-Falling down hard sucks, especially before a competition..
-keep yourself in good health before a comp, especially stay away from curbs..

 

[Pete Pachota]

I think I should have:
- gone to the park the comp was at, even though it was kind of far away for me
- done more tricks in general in my run
- don't be sure that you advance to the finals if you think that the other's runs were worse, lol.

And I don't think that planning runs is bad, especially if you don't know the park and there are hardly any tricks you can do consistantly, lol.

 

[Behlau]

I dont really know what im doing at tic comp this year.

Most likely just making things up as i go along.
