Getting Out Of A Rut 
Stuck in a rut ? Maybe these race tips will help !

There are really two kinds of ruts - short ones and long ones. And there are different techniques for riding each.

For short ruts the idea is to pick up the front wheel and carry it to the other side. You should be in the standing position, with legs bent and elbows up. Steer with your body and the rear wheel. And with only one wheel on the ground there's less chance of crossing ruts.

For long ruts, you should be in the standing position, picking aroute and lining it up. Select second gear and accelerate at and through the rut. Always look well forward; have your head over the filler cap and body weight to the rear. Bend your knees and get your elbows up ! Keep the bike upright and use your body to steer. The quicker you hit it the easier it'll be, believe me !

The secret of getting out of a rut is speed. The faster you attack it the easier it is. Only in really extreme conditions - where the track is a bog or the ruts especially deep - should you sit and paddle.
