You have many styles and options!

What are my Basic needs ?

Well lets say that you have been bitten by the I want to try this motocross racing bug! You probally have an idea of what you may need,but lets go over some of the basics.First lets talk about the race bike just in case you dont have one yet! 2 things to think about-- #1 your age and skill level. Your age if younger will put you into a bike size class.Then that will let give you a clue as to what size Bike to look for.If your older than you will think about your skill level and weight to determine the bike size and power that is needed.--#2 New or Used? well this is always a tuff question.If your just going to try Motocross racing out and your still unsure.Then a used bike could be the best call.It will save you some money and you still will have a bike to trail ride and put around on.If your wanting to take this serious and give it a good try for a year or two.Than I totally suggest a new bike.

Riders needed gear!

There are a few strickly enforced rules that a racer must have to race. You must wear a motorcycle helmet.You must have long sleeves.You must wear boots.Now having said this,Lets take a deeper look into what is really needed to be safe and compete! #1 in my book is a GOOD Motocross helmet,Lets not save money when your protecting your head. # 2 A good pair of Motocross Boots,These will be so important when they are needed.And they are needed each time you ride or race. #3 Eye Protection-Goggles! Its up there high on the must have list! #4 A chest protector. When your out there you will find that rocks and falls can hurt,Dont save money and find that you broke a rib. # 5 Gloves. You will need to hold on tight. After this list there are other thing that are nice but not truely needed,Uniform,Knee pads,ect.

Take a motocross lesson or school.

Take time to learn to race the correct way!

When you have got your race bike and the gear that you want dont assume that your totally ready.Take your time with all your purchases.Read and ask about everything.Get your best deal and be prepared before you head out. You may have done some backyard rides or trail riding.Well let me make this IMPORTANT Rule. Motocross racing is very tuff,hard and demanding.Its also very dangerous if not done right.When I say done right I mean that you need to work into it,Practice,Pratice,Pratice-do you get this.I also suggest that a lesson or a motocross school would be a great idea! When you do get out into the race,ride at your own pace and a work into the speed and jumps. They will come in time just dont think that it all looks so easy that your sure that you can do this.IT WILL BITE YOU!Be carefull and the most important thing is to always have FUN.

Watching a Motocross DVD can help !

Most of my racing days have past and hopefully my little guy will start his riding soon so we can get more involved with his riding and going back to the local tracks that I race most of my life. Your site has some great tips thanks for sharing and be safe. If you dont mind here is my site it has moto videos and supercross news. http://hubpages.com/hub/motocross-videos

We highly suggest that you get a good pair of motocross boots (used or new),They have a great deal of support and protection built into their design.Be safe and have fun!!

do i really need a chest protector i know alot of good riders that dont use them and alot of chest protectors dont work with neck braces and i think neck braces are more important

Doug 20 months ago

There are no rules that require a chest protector! We really believe in them ,Its very easy to get roosted with big rocks on the big bikes.Its also easy to to fall and have thoese handle bars or levers punch your ribs or back..Use caution and ride under control..Enjoy Riding,Racing and living the Dream!
