Motocross

Motocross is just one of those sports people don’t think is hard. They are always saying “it’s just sitting and twisting the throttle.” Well, the truth is all my friends that I race with know how hard it is. We all think we have the win on the first lap; then after that, you start falling back behind other racers. That is exactly what happens if you avoid three key things.

Endurance:

Endurance is the number one key to a good race. Eating healthy helps you not getting arm pump during a race, and if you don’t have arm pump, it makes you ride a lot better.

Technique:

The technique is another important skill in racing, and this helps you ride faster. One way is to keep your elbows up which helps control the bike around corners and straight-aways and keeps you in good balance. You also need to ride loose. 

Maintenance:

To have a successful race, you need to have mechanical maintenance on the bike itself. This is basically how your suspension, tires, or gearing is set up. This is very important depending on the type of soil on the track or what state the track is in.
