To those of you who are more into motorcycle racing,this probably sounds like a very stupid question,but I know that riders perform some acrobatic figures while they slide,so don't they have to do some stretch before the races ???

  1. in case of a serious injury or they get a concusion.


  2. Yes ,we all run to the bathroom, lol, it's true.

  3. Most riders will do stretching to loosen themselves up, then get on a stationary bike and get thier heart rate going....

  4. Yes they do.

    Its not a stupid at all, infact its a good one!

    A rider will do lots of stretches in and out of the leathers. This will help them be supple on the bike.

    Rossi [ always ] does a stretch / prayer move everytime help he gets on the bike.

  5. Doing stretches and exercising is like putting fuel in your motorcycle, "It's a must do"

  6. Definitely they do stretching, and I've seen 2 of the Hayden brothers riding an exercise bike outside their RV before the race.

  7. Well ,i would like to tell you that it is very necessary ,but too many can be negative.As a biker ,bofore every race ,i would do some short -distance drive,usually not more than five five minutes .I think it is enough.For more information ,just log on bikerkiss.com.I think it will give you the right answer

  8. Stretching is a definite yes, however the exercising would depend. If it's a frigid day, then I would do some light exercising to get my body warmed up so I'm not shivering while I'm in the gate. I would not exercises on any really hot days or if we had long motos because you want to be cool and rested when the gate drops. You have a lot of good answers. Good luck out there.

  9. yes they do! it helps you get loosened up and beable to move and respond better to situations! i was just recently in a BAD dirtbike wreck and im out for 10 weeks then in 3-6 months i have to have ANOTHER surgery! i shattered my wrist and arm bones rightbehind the joint!!!! NOT FUN!!!!  I AM READY TO GET BACK TO RIDING AND RACING THO!!!! GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS!

  10. yes they need to stretch really good especially in freestyle but u should have a good 20 minutes of stretchin for a good ride

  11. The late Barry Sheene claimed to have s*x before every race, so I guess the answer's yes..!

  12. its pretty brutal if u dont stretch because u do alot of standing and u need to be lose so u cant have a better performace

  13. Hey sunny :)

    Well, the guys above me said it all. I am sure that all of the riders do something to warm up before a race. I remember watching a video about Rossi and he explained how important this is. I have also seen him a few times with a doctor or something (I'm not sure how they are called) who was helping him to relax before he went on the track...

  14. Yeah before i race i do alot of stretching and you want to run alot to get n shape for racing.
