re: Motocross tips?

Question

Does anyone have any motocross tips or know of any really good instructional videos? I have just started racing and I am looking for any advise. Thanks

Answer 1

ok, im a 15 yearold racing for factory yamaha so id take a lot of this onto consideration. first off practice your starts at least 20 times in a row. this may sound stupid but each time you can blast off the gate quicker the better you will end up. alot of people don't know this but what basically determines how your gonna place is in the first turn. practice turns alllllll the time i have a track in my backyard and first thing i do is turning left turns and right turns and on a motocross track (or any track) there is gonna be all sorts of turns. ones with rollers, ones with sand etc. so try and practice all types of turns in all types of conditions the mor eyou can be confident in any situation is that much better than your opponents.

Answer 2

Practice, practice, practice. You have to be a very mentally strong person to race motocross. Half the sport is mental strength and confidence. It is the most physically demanding sport in the world. To me, it's my passion. There's nothing more enjoyable in the world to me than to be railin' around a track with all that power at the flick of a wrist.

Answer 3

Don't know where to start. I guess if your gonna be racing you should really practice the turns. You would be surprised at the amount of time novice riders lose in turns. Also, practice getting the holeshot. It makes a huge difference when you start out in front and don't have to worry about passing other riders while the lead is steadily pulling away. Have fun.

Answer 4

Rubber side down. You should be on the pegs and the bike should touch down with the rear tire first. Be sure the land on a downslope.
