     New to MX

The star riders that you have seen hurtling around the track and wining their races all had to start the same as you, wondering how any body could ride so fast, or jump so far! PRACTICE, PRACTICE and more practice. There are training schools available for beginners up to experts. You will need to get the basics of riding and controlling a motor bike away from the racing action, but as soon as you can ride and control the bike at low to moderate speeds and can start the bike unaided, except for the auto class riders. Then join a club and go racing, most clubs will supply a fluorescent jacket for beginners.
