What do i need to do to start racing MX?

Question

I live in utah and want to start racing but don't know how to get started! i am also 14 and ride a 125!?

Answer 1

Simple, just go to your local bike shop and ask where the local tracks are. Generally the tracks will leave flyers with race schedules at the shops. I would recommend finding one that holds open practice on non-race days so you can get used to the track before racing the first time. Good luck.

Answer 2

Go along to a local track and watch a few race days.  Talk to the riders there and ask a few questions about the race days including what section you would be in.  Speak to the club secretary to find out what you need to do to join the club and to get a race licence.  Also make sure you have all the protective gear including gloves, helmet, jersey, pants, armour, shin guards and elbow guards.  A leet brace is also a very good idea if you can afford one.  

Once you have joined go along to a few practise days and ride with the other riders who will be in your section and slowly work your way up to speed so then you can try your hand at racing.

Answer 3

alot of practice and get out to your local track every weekend, check out dirkwerks.com  for tracks in your area, get some one to go with you video tape so you can see where you are and hoe to improve. and then practice practice practice. but mainly have fun with it .find people in your who have a club ,they have them all over they put on the races and they will help you out
