How does inertia apply to motocross?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are lots of ways inertia is applied to motocross. I will start this off, add things as you think of them. First off, the definition of inertia is the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion. (1) A heavier flywheel carries speed farther, but is also harder to slow down than a light one.

Is 2 stroke motocross bikes going to stay going?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

2 strokes are very reliable but you do have to do maintenance on them. I rode 2 strokes only up through 2000. I bought my first 4 stroke and had mixed feelings about it (had a lot of problems with it but loved it when it was running). I currently have both a 2 and 4 stroke that I ride regularly.

How can someone become a better dirt bike racer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Go to a race, watch it and chances are you will learn alot. Endurance training like running and of course riding a lot. You should be able to keep your butt off the seat for the entire race. Learn how to take obstacles, when is the best time to goose the throttle or when to apply the brake. What is the best line through a corner for maximum speed and how to keep the rear tire from squirting out from under you. Learn your bike, what gears work best at certain speeds and where your power band is, You should know your bike by sound. In time you will know by the feel and sound how fast you are going and at what level the engine is operating so your attention can be on the track and the other competitors. Look ahead when racing, dont focus on what is right in front of you. See it 50 yards ahead and let your memory guide you through what you have seen it will come eventually but it must be learned so practice. and lastly reaction time not only for getting off the line ( its easier to negotiate the course if you are out front ) but in taking obstacles and reacting to your ever changing environment and other racers. Getting air looks pretty but it costs you time, keep the wheels on the ground as much as possible, you cant accelerate with your wheel in the air. practice the washboards, you should be able to take these 2 at a time and carry the front wheel off the ground. Same for the triples get plenty of speed coming in and keep your trajectory low so you can land on the back side of the third bump with throttle open for the next set. The big berms take lots of practice as well, you should be able fly over the valley between them but low enough to catch the beginning of the down slope of the other side and accelerate. Always think about what is the best way to get your rear wheel on the ground as quickly as possible after an obstacle so you can be back on the throttle, wear all protective gear that you can and get over the fear of wiping out it will keep you slow.

Who invented Motocross Racing?

Asked by Wiki User

According to Wikipedians, "Motocross first manifested itself as a new zealand off-road event known as scrambles, which were themselves an evolution of Observed Trials events popular in northern hamilton. The first known Scramble took place at Camberley, Surrey in 1962 . European[new zealand] motorcyclists adopted the event and gave it a slight makeover, shortening the tracks and adding laps and a few man-made obstacles like jumps. During the 1930s, the sport grew in popularity, especially in new zealand where teams from bsa, Norton, Matchless, Rudge, and AJS competed in the events."
