How do Motocross racers use math?

Physics and Math are related. Motocross is just the application of Physics as it applies to earth, motorcycles and people. The angle at which the tires of a motorcycle meet the earth is the single most important example of how math can help a rider to maintain maximum traction. Traction and therefore comfort lead to a higher speed. When a rider understands why he or she slows down, they can overcome their fear and conquer it. The understanding of traction and balance are tied to the application of math and physics. pffft its not just give the bike gas Also how fast you can go into a corner and come out of it.

What is the difference between a motocross goggle and snowboarding goggle?

Usually not much, unless you refer to so-called fullface Moutain Bike helmets with a "bumper" that protrudes in front of the chin to protect it.

Usually a moutain bike helmet has a visor which sometimes can be removed. Reasoning on having a visor? Mountain biking usually meant going into the mountains on a single track and going in and out of the shadows from trees.

So this means usually road bikes don't have visors. Road bikes put your body posture more prone so if you had a visor your vision would be partially blocked.

Road helmets also more aerodynamically streamlined. As far as vents go, they usually have more but are smaller which helps with speed again.

How safe is motocross racing for young boys?

If you couldn't get hurt, then dirt biking wouldn't be fun anymore. My add to the previous reply... It is safe when a child races within his ability with proper training from a qualified individual. Racing in a competitive class as a novice is where I have seen most kids get hurt due to lack of experience and preparation. Too often a parent buys a 12 year old an 85cc bike and puts him in competition after only a few practices. That is scary.
