Описание: Want to get faster, smoother, and more confident in your cyclocross racing? In this video, coach Grant Holicky (Forever Endurance, Blue-Stages CX Team) breaks down some of the most effective cyclocross skill drills you can do with your training partners.

Joined by:
Chris Case – Co-founder of Fast Talk Labs
Leslie Etheridge – Santa Cruz x OrNot Elite Off-Road Team racer
Eric Brunner – U23 National Cyclocross Champion

Together they demonstrate practical drills that sharpen technique while building race-specific power and intensity:

The Chase – practice cornering, pacing, and race pressure on a small loop
Short-Track Course – race simulation with barriers and run-ups for skills-at-intensity
The Tractor Pull – master low-cadence, high-torque starts for mud and sand
Fartlek Training – speed-play intervals that mimic the surging efforts of a CX race

These drills are simple to set up, fun to do with friends, and highly effective at preparing both your physiological system and technical skills for the unique demands of cyclocross.
