[QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1259321, member: 74999"] So, it looks like you are in Canada. Don't know what kind of tracks you have around there, but there are some here in Western NY that may be close, depending on where you are in Canada (near Toronto?). Get the right gear, even for trail riding. MX boots that fit well, goggles, MX pants/jersey, good helmet (DOT certified at a minimum, but look for Snell certification as well - most tracks want to see that also), a chest protector, and gloves. Everything else is optional, in my opinion, but these are the minimum. There's lots more gear available, such as kidney belts (which I wear), knee/elbow pads, knee braces, leatt neck braces, neck rolls, etc. Trust me, it's worth every penny to have good gear. Getting into MX (which I'm assuming is the type of racing you are talking about, there are other kinds, such as GNCC, ISDE, Hare Scrambles, etc.) is easy. You will need the gear regardless. Find a local sanctioning body (the people that run the race series you want to try) and they will guide you through the relatively easy process of signing up. There will most likely be a fee of some sort (it's $40 per person for us), and you will get to pick a number for your bike (out of what's available). You will need to learn the rules and flags and such, but they usually give you a handbook that explains all of that. I will say this - racing every weekend can get expensive! And all of the previous advice is also great. [/QUOTE]
