Ride or run? An eternal question that has plagued the toughest features of cyclocross. Photo shot from CXHairs.com
In the beginning, Bill Schieken of CXHairs.com created a small video showing Sven Nys and Niels Albert take the same course feature in a race over and over again, and ignored the rest of the footage as he wanted to pinpoint the repetitive actions, or the growth riders had when they approached the same area.
Instead of a highly examined race report, it acted like a teachable moment. While most of Schieken’s videos speak to riders of different levels, his old style felt like it contained one or two major takeaways that a racer could test out at his or her next event. It is our great pleasure to introduce the newest video from In the Crosshairs, which returns to the origins of these videos and examines a vital question in cyclocross: run or ride?
