Armrests VS. ET

In my short racing career I have learned that if you wanna win cat. 2 you have to do more than coast, see I got 3rd two times and 2 x 3 = 6th so I got 6th. Today we are going to explore two popular ways to go faster on the mountain bikes.

1. ET (pedal in the air like Woms)
At first glance ET is pretty rad the flying thru the air and glowing fingers are pretty rad, the downside is the type of people "ETing" attracts





2. Armrests (the Coeur d Alene way)
The armrests create what appears to be a very comfortable yet extremely fast position, known technically as the "lay down position". The downside to the armrests looks to be the attire and lack of safety gear, e.g. mullet, no shirt, no helmet and spandex. To comfortably and safely win a mountain race in the armrest position requires you to be in peak physical condition.





In the end the armrests appear to be the way to go especially because the next race will be in Coeur d Alene so not only will you fit in with the locals but you will be extremely comfortable.

This is the setup to win the Daytona 257
