Tomarrow will be my first race back in over 2 years.One a new quad I havent even takin to the track.I mean I havent been on a track at all in 2 years accept on a 04 250f an worked 50.

Should I

A.Use my head, get a feel for the quad,Get a feel for myself back on the track but yet run the risk of losing and possibly getting a horrible postion at the finish.

B.Balls to the wall just go off the top of my head from what I remember from the past.Run a risk of getting broke or breaking my new quad but yet possibly finishing in a good position.

Let me know what you think.

if you havent rode or even practiced on a quad in 2 years you are going to straight up get smoked .

If i was you I would go and completely forget about the place's and just ride the bike and feel the corners and get used to riding again. Then next week

let R rip and hold on

go nuts, but dont kill urself cuz that would be bad.

Posted by: rookiex

heck yeah it would.Im aiming to be pro Ive got allot of friends that are moving up to A class this year and those were the guys I use to ride with an beat an battle with.They told me to use my head an Id be up with them in no time.

I really wanna be healthy to race/ride another day cuz all getting hurt does is set you back.

Well can you afford to go out there and get hurt? I wish you all the luck in the world at going pro but you also have to look at what will happen if you don't. You have to wok to pay the bills and if you are all busted up how will you do that

Posted by: rookiex

I dont have any payments really I work souly to keep my racing going.I dont even talk much on a cell phone just to keep my bill down.But its a job I can afford to lose if I get hurt.I will be working for my dads dump truck busniess driving a 7 axle dump when I turn 21.But I understand what your saying I dont wanna get hurt period and by not getting hurt and keeping up practice and races I will get better and faster over time.

God bless the young with their 50lb. balls were there brains should be. If I were 12 years younger I would tell you to hang it all out, but because I'm not......I would feel the first race or two out before going crazy. A funny thing happens when you get older (I won't say "grow up" because I hope none of us ever do) and get married, have kids, have a mortgage etc. etc.. With every added responsibility those 50lb. balls get smaller and smaller until there small enough for your wife to keep in pill box in her purse

Enjoy your youth and while you don't have that much to lose break your *** living out your dreams.

I would Go balls out to begin with then get smart the more you ride. It is easier to go fast then slow down rather then go slow then get faster. thats the way I think.

I think this guy can answer about anything you throw at him, motocrosstrainer.com, so try him out. Also don't try to push anything to hard, because eventually it or you will break.

nooo way....

as soon as a kid gets his liscence are u saying he should go out and drive around doing 100 everywhere like a mad man and then learn how to drive?? because its basically the same thing....

if your away from something for a long period of time such as 2 years...you want to start off riding smart and work your way up....if you go out and ride like a moron your gonna get broke once again before the day is even over....the second you lose concentration during a race or lose your head....thats when you will get broke

Well.I didnt do bad not bad at all.2 guys who finished ahead of me were A riders like the real GNC guys.I got 3rd over all.the first 4 laps I was quick but man I got tired.I decided to hang back an watch the quads flip on the hole shot an thats exactly what they did.I played it safe but too risks I had to, to stay ahead in the top 3.All an all the two guys who beat me came up an asked me my name and said for a ''new guy'' I wasnt bad not bad at all.

My arms hurt bad tho.

Im thinking a preciscion dampner
flexx bars

An practice will help.
