Riding Tips
One of the most common mistakes being made in Motocross and other sports in general, is not knowing how to practice correctly. There are certain things in every sport that each individual must focus on. I will give some suggestions, but you must understand that each person's needs will vary slightly. I will only be discussing the actual riding part, not other parts of training.
RIDING MOTO'S- When a rider is young, and not at the point where he or she has decided to try and make motocross a career, just going to the track and riding haphazard moto's isn't so bad. But once motocross becomes one's central focus, I feel there are reasons to time your practice moto's. First of all, for time on the bike. A serious rider must ride at least 3 or 4 day's a week, and once they are in good enough shape, and at the high intermediate or pro level, as much as 5 day's sometimes (this includes race day's). A good recovery drink like EnduroxR4, and a proper diet, will help recovery tremendously. The goal should be to ride two strong 45-60 minute moto's, 2-3 day's per week, without killing yourself. The other day's you can concentrate on drills or shorter "sprint" moto's. Each day should be started with 5-10 minutes of stretching
holding onto the track. (See absolute technique #18 in practice manual)
On the alternate day's from endurance moto's, you can do shorter, faster moto's. One way is to line up on the start, get prepared, do a GOOD start, and sprint one hard fast lap at 100% effort. Then return back to the start, rest a minute or two, and then repeat the process again. You can do this several times. Don't worry if you make mistakes at first, by practicing this way, you will start to develop the first lap speed that is so important. After a while, you can increase to 2 lap sprints. Also you get start practice. Always do QUALITY starts just like you would on raceday, this is the ONLY way starts should be practiced, perfect.
must either be braking or accelerating, or a little of both at the same time. ahead and be able to plan and be ready for what is coming up, don't just react to prepared, you will be able to define your limitations and not go over them. This
