Get a dirtbike. Avoid borrowing one from a friend, because as a first-time rider you risk damaging someone else's property. A fourstroke would be great for your first bike, as they are easy and fun to ride and have great power. Talk to your local dealer for more information but do not buy right away. Every dealer will lie and scam on you for more than you're worth! Always do research first.
Speed: When you are riding down a nice straight away and you feel like goosing it, try to start in a low gear and work that gear to its full potential, then shift up (if you have an automatic bike, don't worry about this). Once you get up to your speed, slant your back at a 45 degree angle, bend your arms at a 90 degree angle and stand up. When standing up your legs and arms act as additional suspension when going over bumps. This keeps you in better control and will conserve energy.
Turning: The trick to getting maximum speed and the best set up in a turn is control. When coming into a turn, pick a good line that isn't going to run you off the track. Stick with it and keep steady power. Keep your outside elbow up and your inside leg out. Have your leg straight and sticking straight out in front of you by the fender, this will help you keep your balance and you can dab your foot on the ground if you slide out. Once in the turn look where you want to go. Also keep your butt on the ouside of the seat and apply a little preassure to the outside footpeg, this helps put more weight on the outside of your bike, thus giving you more traction. Remember to finish your braking and shifting before you enter the corner so you can concentrate all of your attention on getting through it. Sometimes using the clutch while exiting a corner will give you a short burst of power.

First, you grab the handlebars and sling a leg over the top tube.
Then you clip one foot into the pedal and push. Once you have momentum, clip your other foot in and sit down on the seat. Since bicycles (yes, BICYCLES) don't have clutches, you don't have to worry about using it.

Have your leg straight and sticking straight out in front of you by the fender, this will help you keep your balance and you can dab your foot on the ground if you slide out. Once in the turn look where you want to go. Also keep your butt crack on the ouside of the seat and apply a little preassure to the outside footpeg, this helps put more weight on the outside of your bike, thus giving you more traction. Remember to finish your braking and shifting before you enter the corner so you can concentrate all of your attention on getting through it. Sometimes using the clutch while exiting a corner will give you a short burst of power.
Jumps: Hitting big jumps can be scary if you are not comfortable with your riding ability yet. Try little table tops at first; they are very easy and provide a steady landing almost everywere. Lift up your handlebars and stand up a little. Once you get skilled with that, try a double. Take off the bottom of the face sitting down, then by the time your front wheel is off the dirt you should be standing up. Once in the air, position yourself comfortably but sturdily for a landing. If your front end is straight up and down, don't panic! Hit the back brake and it should lower gradually. Before you hit the ground, give a little gas so your bike will flow smoothly.
Whoops can be tricky and require lots of practice as all other things do. There are 3 main ways of hitting them: going slow and steady, doubling or tripling them (this can be very useful in a very technical track because you can get into a new line every time), or just blazing through them (very fast and hard to master; your back wheel skimms over the tip of the whoops giving you less control). Stand up over whoops and keep your weight towards the back of the bike and practice before you go crazy on them. More than 60 percent of all crashes on a track happen on the whoops! Hold on tight and flow with them.
Tips
Always be aware of speed limits, crossing points, and pedestrians. They have the right of way.
Always ride with a camelback...keep sparkplugs, tools, energy bars, water and a cellphone with you at all times!
Magazines such as Motocross Action and Transworld MX give great tips on this kind of stuff as well as on making adjustments on your bike.
Don't get cocky about what you can do on your bike. You will likely get brought back to earth pretty quickly.
When jumping from dirt ramp to dirt ramp over a gap make sure to get the right speed. Going too slow just like going too fast might be painfull
Warnings
Always wear MOTORCYCLE protective gear, hockey helmet might save you from the puck but not from falling from motorcycle. Same goes for knee/elbow pads for rollerskating
Don't let your friends ride your bike; if they crash, that's just one more part you have to buy!
If you're going to do tricks, make sure you know what you're doing and are not going to kill yourself. Don't try to impress your friends with something you can't do because chances are you will crash and they will laugh.
Things You'll Need
Bike
Gear
A good attitude
Courage (for big jumps)
