Getting into the industry

[ride_red_15]

Hey gang. This is a question for all of you like Billywho and Eric and Rich, whose lives are in the dirtbike industry. Right now im 16, and my first question, most likely directed to Rich...is what classes did you take in high school to get the engineering knowledge you have? I would love to know half as much as you. And next, I've decided that this is where i want to go with my life. I love bikes, and being around them, and riding...Maybe, if i work hard enough, i can make it Pro one day...but, i need a back up for that one. What did you guys do through college and such to get the knowledge you have? I've also been considering a motocross college in South Carolina that sounds like a good bet. Thanks a ton for your help guys.

Joe, check out an old thread in the archives:

(if that doesn't work, it's on page 2 of the technical archives, rather than in the general).

College works as a good primer, but passion is your best teacher.

In HS take all the mathematics and physical science classes that your school offers. During HS, get a job at a bike shop sweeping up. Shut up and listen, that in itself will be a great start.
