So, you want to start racing dirt bikes?
Who can blame you;
dirt bike racing is an increasingly popular choice for many thrill seekers.
It’s true that in the wrong hands racing dirt bikes can be incredibly dangerous
but with a little care and attention and some experience there is no reason why
you can’t have the adrenalin fuelled excitement while considerably minimising
the risks many people associate with the sport.
Racing dirt bikes
is a popular pastime with people of all age, many grandfathers and
grandchildren take part in regular races and the younger you start the better
you will be. Many professional bike racers started with dirt bike racing and
they usually started at the age of 4 or 5. While you may consider this to be
far too young, there is no reason you can’t get your children into practise
when they hit their teenage years and are a good age to be trying out a mini
dirt bike.
Things to consider
if you want to try racing dirt bikes.
The first thing you
need to consider is your safety. When buying your bike and equipment make sure
that you make safety of the most paramount importance. If you don’t ride safe
you won’t ride long. Even second-hand bikes can be purchased in a ready to ride
condition and you should make sure that all parts are in very good working
order before you start racing. If you have no or little knowledge of racing
dirt bikes then you should get a professional to look at your bike for you and
make the necessary repairs or replacements.
Now, watch others
when they are racing dirt bikes so you get a feel for how it’s done. If you’ve
never ridden before this will give you a very good idea of whether you really
want to give it a go and whether it is something you think you will be good at.
