Negative Results: Ramp Test

Shorter than that in many cases. Most modern BMX laps are under 1 minute. 30-45 seconds is common depending on the track and rider class. Last weekends national even in Vegas had the fastest time posted by a 15yo kid that was 19.5 seconds or so, with most classes around 30 seconds or less. That is a bit of an exception since it is an indoor track, with outdoor ones pushing that 45 second range more. But it is all a Sprint in the purest sense possible. :stuck_out_tongue:

From experience, “endurance” is an entirely new world to most of those riders :wink:

Hey man I am not an expert, but I guess he has to determine how he fealt during the test, and most important during the last training block. In my case if I am hitting my training block quite well and I get a bad result on a particular test I dismiss the result. Ramp test its an estimation that admit some error.
