Riding Tips
One of the most common mistakes being made in Motocross and other sports in general, is not knowing how to practice correctly. There are certain things in every sport that each individual must focus on. I will give some suggestions, but you must understand that each person's needs will vary slightly. I will only be discussing the actual riding part, not other parts of training.
RIDING MOTO'S- When a rider is young, and not at the point where he or she has decided to try and make motocross a career, just going to the track and riding haphazard moto's isn't so bad. But once motocross becomes one's central focus, I feel there are reasons to time your practice moto's. First of all, for time on the bike. A serious rider must ride at least 3 or 4 day's a week, and once they are in good enough shape, and at the high intermediate or pro level, as much as 5 day's sometimes (this includes race day's). A good recovery drink like EnduroxR4, and a proper diet, will help recovery tremendously. The goal should be to ride two strong 45-60 minute moto's, 2-3 day's per week, without killing yourself. The other day's you can concentrate on drills or shorter "sprint" moto's. Each day should be started with 5-10 minutes of stretching
Here's what goes on in each zone. If you brake to early, and get on the gas in zone 2, your bike will move in the direction your bikes front fender is pointing, which is to the outside of the turn, which is wrong. Also move finger to the brake lever (1) to start front braking, and 1 or 2 fingers over clutch lever, but DO NOT pull in the clutch. While sitting, never leave the brake pedal, the ball of your foot should be on the pedal, and as you sit forward, your heel will lift off the footpeg. you must know what you're practicing, and you must practice it correctly.
First visualize an oval, the best way to practice and perfect it is in an oval drill. Riding over your head,missed lines, sliding out, chopping the throttle to recover, casing or flatlanding jumps, falling down, stalling the bike and any other recovery that slowsyou down! You must ride within your limits. Obviously, doing this in a School would be more effective, but hey, you asked. Focus on the most important things, usually smoothlines and proper set-ups. This will keep it challenging, and you will learn to ride ALL the lines, and become a better at passing at the same time. If you haven't been riding long moto's, start with shorter one's, say 10-20 minutes, then increase the duration as you get fit. Remember, be patient, the braking is holding your bike in the turn. Also the first half of the corner should be faster than the exit half, because you have that entire speed coming in, you just have to learn to control it. Also, if you get arm pump, this will greatly reduce it. So youmust either be braking or accelerating, or a little of both at the same time.
