Motorcycle Racing

Boots, Helmet, Gloves, Pants with padding, Jersey, Goggles, Some have started wearing neck braces, Some even wear teeth guards, Muddy tracks you will need tear-offs for your goggles, rocky tracks you will need a chest protector.

Dodge Tomahawk The most expensive motorcycle in the world is the Dodge Tomahawk. Production was limited to just ten models and they retailed at $550,000 each! The Dodge Tomahawk has the honor of being the fastest motorcycle ever (675 km/h, 419 mph)

FMX riders typically use much of the same riding gear as MX racers. This includes a helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, jersey and MX pants. They may supplement this with elbow and knee pads. Riders may also choose to wear 'body armor' to protect the chest and legs when performing the most dangerous of tricks, as did Travis Pastrana when performing his double backflips. A Leatt neck brace may also be worn if rider are concerned about neck injuries or are attempting dangerous tricks. One major component of Freestyle Motocross is the foam pit. These vary in size, but are usually a rectangular box filled with shredded or cubed foam. The FMX rider will jump from a ramp, practicing one of the more dangerous or prototype tricks, and execute a safe landing into the safe foam regardless of the actual landing position. Ramps are usually made out of metal, as this keep the 'lips' of the ramp consistent. The landing ramp is normally constructed from dirt. If the event has limited resources, landings ramps may be built on trucks or trailers. When freeriding, however, the rider jumps from dirt to dirt.

If he has raced a Yamaha, it had to be in the Years prior to turning Pro, as a Pro, Kawasaki, Honda, and Suzuki have been the bikes he rode.

Not necessarily. Most motocross riders start out pretty young, even in their elementary years. I always believed that STARTING YOUNG IN A HIGHLY-DANGEROUS COMPETITIVE SPORT such as motocross is good. At a young age, you are more able to experience MORE falls, MORE mistakes, MORE side, front and rear collisions with your rivals and peers. THESE MAKE YOU PREPARED, TOUGHER and give you AN INTERNAL SENSE OF WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND YOU AT HIGH SPEED. You are then learning, at a very early age, to PROJECT and COMPUTE the speeds you need to attain to FIT YOUR BIKE ON YOUR BEAD (a "bead" is your practiced route around the track, which you intend to take and finish at the shortest time possible- it is also the route you know best, where your skills are just right for the challenge of the track). "Fitting your bike on your bead" means riding your own way through the track at very high speed WHILE OTHER PEOPLE ARE BUSY CROSSING YOUR PATH and flying above your head, FOLLOWING THEIR BEADS. You also gain REFLEXES- the automatic body reactions to situations that occur at high speed, such as another rider crossing your front end at a very tight turn. Using the proper brake (front, rear, or both) depends pretty much on the angle of your front wheel, your body position on the bike- AND APPLYING THIS IN AN INSTANT can save lives, starting with yours. You don't need a college degree to learn these: you need hundreds of hours of practice on a track and other places such as bike trails in the big outdoors.

That being said, MOST YOUNG MOTOCROSS RIDERS NEVER MAKE IT TO COLLEGE because they are picked by talent scouts to ride for companies that have investments in motorcycle racing and motocross racing accessories.

But GET INTO MOTOCROSS AS A SPORT and don't forget that a college degree is much worth sweating MORE for. When you get too old to compete in races, a college degree, a business, a job- or all of these, will always be a better chance your future will be bright. THEN YOU CAN BUY A REALLY GOOD MOTOCROSS BIKE TO RIDE ON WEEKENDS AWAY FROM YOUR JOB.

The AMA's youngest age class is Pee Wee Jr., which is a 50cc class, ages 4-6.

Good hand eye coordination, ability to learn or adjust quickly at a different track and most importantly you need to know your bike well, know how it will respond to every situation that may be thrown at you in a race. The best thing you can do is practice, practice, practice!

the best moto gp rider id valentino rossi, he is undesputed best has most race victorys and has won the title 6 times in a row and 8 times over all

Jeremy mcgrath he helped ALLOT!!! His signature jump the "knack-knack" started the whole craze. He would straighten one leg and move it to the opposite side of the bike while pivoting at the waist.

Motocross is a type of racing held on a man made closed course where the rider makes numerous laps around the track. Off road takes in several types of racing such as enduros, hare scrambles, GNCC, WORCS, Desert races, where the rider rides a natural terrain course laid out ahead of time. Most off road races are between 50 and 120 miles in length.

There are several extremely talented motocross and supercross riders. Jeremy McGrath is considered the king of supercross, and was a star in his time. There are many talented riders today including James Stewart, Justin Barcia, Davi millsaps, and Chad Reed.

But overall, Rickey Carmichael is regarded the greatest of all time (the G.O.A.T) as he won a unheard of 10 championships with 3 undefeated seasons. In essence, he is considered the best motocross rider.

In endurocross racing, David Knight is a strong rider that is extremely talented.

in FMX, many consider Travis Pastrana to be the greatest because of his style and ability to perfect tricks none others can such as the double backflip.

I've not seen any figures on Stewart's new contract for 09 but as of now it is still Ricky Carmichael for the 2006 season. Ricky is the highest paid rider in the sport with an estimated annual income of between $8 - 10 million US.
