[QUOTE="Jasle, post: 656091, member: 26675"] I also like the abundance of people at the track to help out in situations. If your 5 miles out and crash and break a leg you have to ride, crawl or limp back in. At the track you just sit there and the ambulance shows up. But i don't reccomend you just go race. You need to spend SEVERAL weekends practicing at the track. Maybe even take in some lessons from a local pro. You can usually find a pro that charges next to nothing. Many parents don't have a problem letting their kid go play football or baseball. Statistically more kids die every year playing baseball than MX. Also go hang out at the track and watch the races, maybe even bring dad along. If he sees your serious he might change his tune. If you offered to do odd jobs at the negihbors to help pay for the bike this might really let him know you are serious about racing. Or at least paying for your protective equipment. Minimum you should have boots, gloves, roost protector, MX pants, jersey, shin-knee gaurds, elbow pads, mouthpiece, neck protector. And lastly trail riding has squat to do with track riding other than your on a bike and in the dirt. You develop different sets of skills doing both types of riding. But just because someone is a good trail rider in no way means they will be a good track rider. And the same goes the other way. You will become a better trail rider by riding the track because you will gain more knowledge of how your bike reacts. i know I'm kinda saying contradictory things here but basically I'm saying just because your falling down on the trails doesn't mean you will be falling down at the track. Usually tracks are groomed better than any trail. Large rocks are removed and things like tree's don't creep up and smack you on the track. GO FOR IT. [/QUOTE]
