Do you dream of a career that entails riding the wheels off a modded sportbike, at least until the realities of time, talent, sponsorship and finding the right ride kick in? Achieving premier rider status in any one of the riding disciplines occurs only for a select few. Major skills and a general madness for speed are necessary to rise through the ranks but what happens when you get to the pros? How does a big name prep for a race, an event or a competition? Forget about the obvious: dialing in the bike, getting a full night’s rest, etc. Getting ready for the big game means finding your zen, through a bowl of ice cream for some, blasting a favorite playlist for others, adhering to a superstition or relaxing with a brewsky. To find out more, SSB went knocking on the doors of some of the best in the business, for the real school on how pros prepare to secure a piece of sport riding glory.
