How many races of people are there?
there are not that many, there are Caucasian, Asian and African, these 3 races spread into different directions across the world, hence we have so many people of different "colour" eg; the people in the Mediterranean are almost like an olive shade, Asian are more light beige Caucasian can go from pasty white to brownish, African can go from deepest ebony to light brown, then when people have children they can go either "colour" we all have the same "colour" blood bright red!! that is what makes us all human and brothers and sisters under the skin.
Is 2 stroke motocross bikes going to stay going?
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 do you stay safe when riding motocross?
Ride your own race, know your abilities and your limitations. Don't get caught in the competition and go big off of a jump just because 2 or 3 other riders are doing it.
How do you scrub a jump on a dirt bike?
Let me give you some of my credentials first. Early in life I earned my pro license (the one you need to race supercross/outdoor nationals), and am now pursuing a degree in chemical engineering with a minor in physics. Thus, I now have ample experience in moto and a physical understanding of it, which I now delegate to share with you.
The idea of scrubbing is energy redirection. When your bike begins up the face of the jump, some of the energy it had from its velocity is stored in the suspension by loading it. The trick behind scrubbing is to redirect this stored energy from exploding upward, which will launch you upward, and waste precious seconds that could be used railing on the track. First step is to think of a diving board. This process much resembles the load/unload principle you experience in moto. you can either load up and extend your body, thus maximizing your launch, or bend your knees when you come down on the board, absorb the energy into your body, and minimize your height. Transforming this concept into being useful on your bike is the first step. When you reach the crest of the jump, allow your knees and elbows to buckle and absorb the energy in them. If properly executed, your butt should hit the seat, and you will "feel" the energy redirected into your body. No matter your skill level, this technique can be used, especially when exhausted at the end of a long moto, to save some time.
In a more advanced exercise, and after dialing the first step down, you can begin practicing all out scrubbing. This technique is more of an art, and always finishes with a touch of personalized pizzaz. Before attempting a scrub, identify which side you are comfortable whipping with. This preference will establish which way you will scrub. But fist, I cannot emphasize enough, YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO WHIP THE BIKE WELL FIRST!!!!!! Once comfortable with wipping, you can carry this concept into scrubbing. Approach the face of the jump on the same side as the way you will whip (if you whip the back of the bike to the left, approach the left side of the jump, and do the same for the right.) As you approach, stand tall and aggressive (pitched towards the front of the bike.) As you approach the crest of the jump, use your legs and arms to roll the bike downward and the back of the bike to the side of your whipping preference. The technique of absorbing the energy of the bike with your body, outlined above, should be simultaneously employed (scrubbing is a convoluted subject!!!) Turning the bars in towards the face is an advanced exercise that should only be practiced when holding them straight is perfected, as it only helps to absorb a little more energy. When perfected, at the top of the jump, it should feel like your bike is washing out, as it would if you were trying to rail through a flat corner with too much aggression. This is where the advantage comes from, if your bike is laid flat, the suspension will unload horizontally, and none of the energy will be transformed into a vertical explosion upward into the sky. Turning the bars into the face only helps you lay the bike more flat, and while helping to minimize energy transformation, is much more difficult to save. Once you leave the face of the jump, your attention will re-focus into saving it. Use your legs to straighten the bike out, and focus on your landing point in an attempt to return to vertical riding position to save your landing and a possible ride in an ambulance (I've been there when trying to show off for a camera, one such instance can be found on my old myspace account www.myspace.com/reynolds188).
On a final note, scrubbing is an incremental procedure, and small steps, on small jumps, should be perfected before becoming more and more aggressive in your approach. Practice it over and over on small hits before going all out and trying to look like bubba, or you will earn a date in the operating room and 6 months in a wheelchair!!!!

How big is a medium motocross helmet?

How can someone become a better dirt bike racer?
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?
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."
Can someone tell you what you need to do to start motocross racing?

What company made the first modern dirt bike and what year did it come out?
The first motorcycles were produced by companies like Indian, Harley, BSA, and Norton. And since in the early 20th century there were a lot more dirt roads than there were paved roads, these motorcycles were designed to be riden on the dirt as well as the paved roads. Making Matchless the first company to produce a dirt bike in 1899.
As a modern dirt bike goes, it seems that the earliest reverence I can find is a 1924 Velocette. It was used in the first motocross event known as a "Scramble" in Camberley, Surrey in southern England. There were probably other bikes used in this race, but you might be able to find more information with this race. But by the 1930s BSA, Norton, Rudge, Matchless, and AJS all made bikes to be used in the Scramble, so any of these bikes could be the first dirt bike, I just couldn't find any mention of them in the first Scramble. However as far as motorcycles used offroad, the 1914 Triumph Model A was used by the British Army as an offroad vehicle during WWI
Most of the first motorcycles made were basically bicycles with an internal combustion engine strapped on somehow. These bikes were constructed just as "roads" were beginning to appear, so they were built to ride off road as well. Therefore, even the first motorcycles could be referred to as "dirt bikes". So dirt bikes (and street bikes) have been around since the dawn of motorycling, just at the time they were simply considered regular motorcycles.
So no one person invented the dirt bike. People began to modify their bikes to ride in the dirt, starting with knobby tires and better suspensions, changing gearing/sprockets, frames, doing everything possible to lighten and strengthen them, getting rid of parts not needed in dirt riding (lites, horn, etc.).
One of the first motorcycles designed specifically for offroad use was by Sigfried Bettmann of Coventry, England. The company name was Triumph Motorcycles and the year was 1914.

What as difference in crf150f and crf150r?
The CRF150F is a trail bike, soft suspension, not as much power as the r, air cooled engine. The CR150R is the motorcross version, more power (21 hp), water cooled, taller suspension, less low end power, you have to keep it at high rpm's to get all the power. They are quite different.
Where does motocross come in most physical sports?
It would infact be Motocross number one, and Soccer second. Please see related link below! The National Sport Health Institute in Englewood, California tested several professional motocross racers in the early 1980s as part of a comparative study of the cardio-vascular fitness of athletes from various disciplines. Athletes from track, American football and soccer were tested, among others. Motocross racers get their heart rate up to around 180 to 190 beats per minute and hold it there for about 35 minutes. Another thing to consider is that they do this twice per day (Original article appeared in DirtBike magazine in 1980). A subsequent study by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Sports Performance Complex in 2002 reconfirmed the result with more recent motocross racers. The intense physical demand of motocross derives from the fact that the racer of the bike must keep complete control of a 200+ pound bike, while also maintaining their top speed throughout the race.
