FROM THE TRACK

Life on the track

A few moments from training days, races and everything in between.

The preparation, the practice and the people who make every ride worth it.

BEFORE YOU RIDE

Start with the basics. Build from there.

Your first motocross day does not have to be perfect. Before you head to a track, make sure you have protective equipment that fits properly and a bike that has been checked over. Find out what the track expects from new riders, including any licence, booking or safety requirements. A little preparation can make the day much less stressful.

Take your time when you arrive. Watch how other riders enter and leave the track, ask questions if something is unclear and give yourself space to learn. Your first goal does not need to be speed. Focus on getting comfortable with the bike and practising the fundamentals at your own pace.

MXRiderHub brings these starting points together. You can explore separate guides on protective gear, realistic costs and preparing for a first ride, then return whenever you have a new question.
