Chasing Growth & Building Community: Off-Season Training with 2Fast

January 30, 2025

Growth Never Takes a Season Off

When winter sets in, many riders park their bikes and wait for warmer days. Not Mark DeGross of 2Fast. Instead of slowing down, he heads south, keeping his skills sharp, refining techniques, and training with some of the best riders in the sport—because real progress never takes a season off.

Riding with Legends: A Humbling & Inspiring Experience

The photo of bike #4 holds a special meaning for Mark. He’s a few bikes back on the first corner after the start, sharing the track with some serious talent—including Josh Hayes, Deion Campbell, Bryce Prince, Jayson Uribe, Cory Alexander, Andrew Lee, Nick Ciling, and James Rispoli.

Lining up against Josh Hayes, a multi-time AMA champion, was an unforgettable moment. While Mark finished 7th to Josh’s 4th, the experience wasn’t just about results—it was about learning, growing, and embracing the challenge of racing alongside some of the best. The BPR team’s camaraderie, mentorship, and good-natured competition made the weekend one to remember.

Why the Off-Season is the Best Time to Improve

Many riders take winter off, but those looking to level up use it as a chance to fine-tune their craft. Whether it’s:

  • Training with top-tier riders to learn from their experience
  • Receiving expert coaching to correct habits and refine skills
  • Staying mentally sharp so you return to the track stronger than ever

The off-season is where champions are made, and dedicated riders separate themselves from the pack.
