How can riders practice in view of a performance? How can anyone do anything in front of a performance? What does that mean?

The second sentence makes more sense.

Are these sentences from that story you are writing?

I ask because your verb tenses slide from are practicing to started to has appeared to are unable. Depending on the context, you may need to choose a consistent verb tense. This isn't my area of expertise but the experts here can help you.

AnonymousThe riders are practicing hard in view of their upcoming live performance.

If I understand what you are trying to say, consider these options:

The riders practiced hard to prepare for their upcoming live performance.

The riders practiced hard with their upcoming live performance in mind.

You may also want to use a more descriptive word/phrase than hard:

tirelessly ... (without growing tired or as if they weren't tired)
exhaustingly ... (until they were exhausted)
relentlessly ... (without giving up)
ceaselessly or incessantly ... (without taking a break)
late into the night or day after day or for days on end ... (for a long time)

AnonymousThey also started giving out flyers to promote themselves.

This sentence is grammatically correct but I have a few comments:

The phrase giving out is a two-word phrase that isn't very specific. You may want to find a single word that contains the whole idea, such as: distributing, posting, etc.

An alternative word for started is began.

Do they want to promote themselves or promote their performance? ... or maybe promote their upcoming debut? (their first public performance)

NOTE: Your sentences had very good grammar. I'm offering these style and vocabulary suggestions to help you write clearly and expressively.

If you don't care for this advice I will stop giving it -- Just let me know. I promise you won't hurt my feelings.
