What Gear?

Question

I'm trying to understand the pace of a motocross race. I have a 2002 KX 100 and ride it behind my house around a small track thats a circle I pretty much stay in 3rd gear the whole way around. How do I get ready for racing in my backyard?(I have been riding for a month)

Answer 1

whatever gear your conftorbal in. but just a circile??? try adding in some jumps

Answer 2

Go to your local track and give it a go. You will need your parents to trailer your bike there.

Depending on your age, you will need them also to sign you in and pay for you.

Answer 3

Well..

if its just a circle track, its not going to help much.

if you really want to improve then you will want to make jumps and rhythm sections and berms and stuff.

good luck(:

Answer 4

a circle track

Answer 5

Unless you are intending upon doing flat track racing you really won't get much out of riding in a circle.  Get someone to take you to a motocross track to practice as you really need practice with other riders as well.

Answer 6

if you only have a small bit of land instead of doing a circle do a figure of eight this will improve your cornering alot then when you feel confident go to a practise track and start learning to jump and ride a real track you will be able to compare yourself to the others on the track when your starting to keep up with a few people start going to some local races
