Red Bull Straight Rhythm Analysis

Can we see Super cross races like this in the near future? There are many questions and doubts regarding this style of racing. If you miss or fail a jump the injury can be extremely high due to the speed. Techniques will have to change as well as the bike. Techniques such as scrubbing harder and practice start more than turns. The bike setting will probably change to a faster and with more torque bike. This can heavily influence big industries since they will not focus on handling but more on speed or suspensions. With this being said, it can be inferred that racing can get really interesting. There can be more competition and probably new riders can now participate. The question now is, how far are we from this type of competition, 5 years, 10 years. Also another question can be, what racers will accept this challenge? Many riders are known for their incredible turning and rut speeds. In this races, they would be heavily influenced without turns.

                                              Scrubbing will be a technique that must me mastered in order to gain time. With a perfect scrub, you can gain essential time, giving you space to breathe. This will change practice formats and basically the whole sport. The riders will have to train scrubs and get used to the speed.

Whoops are also a major part of the straight rhythm. Not all riders can pass the whoops as James Stewart or Justin Bogle. Many will have to practice and believe me, practicing whoops are hard, or you go HAM or nothing. Whoops are extremely challenging as well as it requires technique, keeping the balls of your feet on the pegs and pressing hard in the legs as well as a constant flow of acceleration.

The winner will be the one who throws it down harder and goes faster. 

Juan Carlos ''Chavo'' Salvatierra

Having Chavo Salvatierra as a family member can be honorable but at the same time risky. I say this due to the fact that he expects me to train at the same rythm he is training. I try to avoid his training calls but at the end of the day, training makes the master. Chavo has come a long way to become who he is today. He is considered to be the most successfull athlete Bolivia has ever had. To begin with, he used to race in Bolivia and won 9 national championships. He began racing at an old age when he was 15 years old. I think what helped Chavo was the fact that his dad distributed Honda and Kawasaki. This allowed him to see and be passionate about motorcycles. 

                                  

Question: What did it take to become a national champion?

Answer: I had to train at least four times a week on the motorcycle. At the track, i would practice start drills and corner drills. I would go for a cycle run at 5 am each morning. To create muscles, I would go to the gym three times a week.

Chavo was always looking to race international races until he heard about the Dakar. He got really interested in it and decided to give it a try. He knew it was one of the most physicall demanding races rally has to offer so he started training. He told me that he felt he could have trained a little more but he felt he needed to race. His first Dakar went extremely well breaking the stadistics. He finished top 35 out of 250 racers who many of them didnt have the ability of finishing. 

                                             Chavo was welcomed back home

Question: How was your first Dakar?

Answer: It was more than what i expected. Everything was harder and i knew i had to work 10 time harder to be able to accomplish something.

Chavo's second Dakar went pretty well. He improved and even got top 10 in one stage. He was third in various checkpoints and finished top 25 overall. He proved what he was made of. He told me that he knew what he needed training and pushed even harder for the 2012 Dakar. Overall, he was kind of satisfied because he knew he could have done better so he decided to wait for 2013.

                                                      Chavo hitting that dune.

Question: Did you feel anything different this edition?

Answer: Everything was different. The bike, my stamina, my knowledge everything improved. This is why i had a better result.

2013 was a successfull year for Chavo. After hiring the all time Dakar champion, he was more ready than ever. He decided to switch teams and trained even harder. I must say that 2013 was a better year for him because his whole family supported him throughout the whole race. We supported him and the expectations are getting higher every year. Chavo is expecting a top 10 for the next year or so. We hope he accomplishes his goal and puts Bolivia's name in Dakar history.

You can see my cousing pointing at Chavo sinc

-e we were tired of waiting for him. We missed him!

Podium

Question: Are you proud with this years result?

Answer: I am not that proud of this years result. I mean, I improved but due to bike problems I couldnt show everything i had. We will do it next year.
