Bike Features
Knobbies are good for the dirt they give the bike good traction through the dirt mud and sand. With no knobbies the bike would have no traction at all without knobbies you wouldn’t have much control over the bike. |

Some Skills
Motor cross riding is a tough sport that takes good skill. You will get better every time you ride on a new course. Every time you get on a bike you think great another day racing. But in it is a new challenge. If you do it the right way you will find it is fun. The rules are simple. Don’t try to do too much at once. Always try to remember to concentrate on the trails. You will find all kinds of different obstacles as you go. |

Down Hill
Down hill takes a lot of skill. Going down hill is a lot of fun but it is also challenging. Be sure you use the clutch and brakes when you need to. |

The Motor
A dirt bike engines are placed high in the frame so that they can clear any rocks that get in the way or any fallen trees. Dirt bikes motor and gas tanks are placed in the middle of the bike so that the bike is balanced. |

Appropriate Clothing
A motor cross rider has to wear a special top called a jersey and pants called nylons and boots. A motor cross rider has a different helmet than a road rider.They have a pair of goggles that fit firmly inside the helmet. They also have a vest called body armour. And they have proper gloves. |

Safety
Your safety is very important so make sure that you ride with someone else. When you are in trouble you should: 1.Get off your bike. 2.Don’t hurry. 3.Tell your friends that when someone is in trouble you will have to stop, wait or help. 4. Don’t try to do stunts that you aren’t up to in your level of riding. 5. Slow down when you see people or animals around. 6. Always wear a helmet, nylons, boot, goggles and a chest protector. 7. Never ride on other people’s property unless given permission and last of all use common sense. |
