New ride!

[yamadogyz]

I say put it second gear at the gate from my understanding 85 cc up you take off in second, your boot in front of the gear shfter and after take off use your heal on the way up to the pegs to shift to third. But I am not racer someone with race experiance should be handing this advice out not me

With him!

It is AX, if you have a slightly larger rear sprocket that will help alot. Also, in those facilities the lighting is not the best either, so make sure you have a good pair of goggles, I'm taking to running orange lenses Also, if you've never raced, it's all a mental thing. Always keep your mind strong and have fun, don't expect to finish first! Ride smart and make clean passes, get a good start and a good light breakfast of protiens and fresh fruit. The jitters and constant movement messes with your stomach, so give proper digestion time and stay healthy and light. Breakfast feels better in your stomach and off your jersey. Last have fun!

Looks good and fast!

Nice man, looking fast is all that matters!

That is awesome bro! Great riding, all you need is some DBA decals 3 more days! You pumped?!

 

[KTMforlife]

DBA decals are too expensive for my budget


And AX is Saturday... I'm getting nervous. But mx definitely takes more strength than I thought. Ive never been this sore in this many places before. I think I used muscles I didn't even know I have. Or maybe I don't have them. Either way I hurt

So you never MXed before?
"the catapult" is a new experience for you?

Remember, at the starting gate you put it in first, rev super high and when the gate drops pop the clutch and pull up.

I say put it second gear at the gate from my understanding 85 cc up you take off in second, your boot in front of the gear shfter and after take off use your heal on the way up to the pegs to shift to third. But I am not racer someone with race experiance should be handing this advice out not me

That's more like it.

Why do you think I don't post videos? I have enough trouble attempting to make myself look fast in pictures.

And AX is Saturday...

Good luck on Saturday!

People (non-riders) say it's easy, until they've done it themselves that is.

So true, Even if your just ride trails you don't completely understand how physically demanding and challenging MX is until you do it

I'm not gonna go too off topic and rant out on this(though it seems like every thread here does that eventually)

But I found a great post on tt a couple months ago that essentially said, mxers shouldn't put down or think less of trail riders and vice versa because both require skills, training, and physical characteristics that one may have and the other doesn't.

And if you say trail ridings easy than you've never ridden good trail
