Wassup350 Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 I just entered my first MX today. The first one i got like 11th out of 15 or so. I got to the line late so i wasnt ready for the holeshot. The track was great though i could fly though it and noone could touch me on the strait aways. But once it came to the corners i slowed down a lot because my clutch is so hard to pull. After a few laps i got wicked tired and sore and slowed down quite a bit but i did pretty good i thought. The second race was different. I got 2nd out of the holeshot!!! A dude on a YFZ 450 got the holeshot. Then around the first corner i got caught in some sand and then got stuck behind a guy who was stuck in a rut from the dirtbikes. I held position most of the race and got 6th out of 10th. I think i will try some more races but you definitely have to be in shape to do that. I think i will also be needing a long travel wider front suspension. And a 2 into one carb set up possibly and clutch mods. Ill post pictures when i get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadMX Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Congrats on the first race. Sounded like fun for you. Long travel is not necessarily needed unless you got the dough to spend. Plain ol' +2+1 or +2+2 will work great with a nice set of shocks setup for your weight/ability/kind of riding. Keep racin and good luck in the future!

BenBB Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Right on Wassup350!! Keep riding and practicing and you'll be in better shape in no time, you WILL get a workout on an MX track. I agree with QuadMX too about the long travel, +2 a-arms & axle along with good front shocks will make a huge difference for half of what the long travel alone will cost...

sredish Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Awesome job, there's no feeling like beind lined up at the gate right before it drops, motors revved, ready to fly. Can't beat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
