indoor mx for a beginner

[dpaxson]

Hi everyone
i'm 15 and pretty new to dirtbikes and i want to try riding at a motocross track. Unfortunately it's in the 20's outside so my only option is an indoor track near me. it's called ram jam sportsplex if any of you have ever heard of it or rode there. do you think the tight layout of an indoor track would be too much for my first time on an mx track? I've rode my bike at my grandma's house before and taken a few tiny jumps but nothing else other than that.

I've ridden / raced indoor several times. It's a lot different than outdoors for sure, it's very tight and you have a lot of other riders in your space to worry about as oppossed to outdoors. Without knowing your abilities I can't recommend anything except if you're new to any kind of riding look where you want to go and HOLD YOUR LINE! The faster guys will get around you without you having to watch behind you. Don't showboat, just ride to your ability and live to ride another day. Good luck.
