MOTOAMERICA SUPERBIKE CHAMPION CAMERON BEAUBIER
P88
Interview
KEEPING FIT AWAY FROM
THE TRACK
Beaubier spends a huge
amount of time just making sure
he's match fit but it's not a case
of spinning laps on his superbike.
It's more about pedal power.
"In the last few years I rode a
lot of bicycles, a lot of mountain
bikes," he says. "I live in a good
area for it. Auburn's right up the
road. It's 25 minutes away from
me. You can go drop down into
Auburn Canyon and there's some
cool mountain bike trails up there.
I really enjoy that.
"Last off-season and this year,
I just rode way more motocross
than I ever have, really. I think
that really, really helped me.
Normally, I would ride motocross
in the off-season the last few
years and then stop leading into
the season, just because I was
afraid of injury because it's easy
to get hurt in motocross. But I
just kept riding. I rode all year
and I just tried to be as safe as
I could and go on days when
it's a little bit more mellow at the
tracks around home.
"I think that was a huge game-
changer for me, staying on the
motocross bike, and just being
on a motorcycle. I think that really
helped me physically-wise on the
superbike. There's just nothing
like riding shape. Then a little gym
work, but I think the key for me
this year was riding a lot of moto-
cross. That really helped me." CN
