[QUOTE="YoTRacer158, post: 170006, member: 21301"] all of these ppl keep saying that if someone can do all the jumps they shouldnt be a beginner...it takes more nerves to do a big jump than it does skill. my friend is an excellent jumper, but f he raced he would get his butt kicked. the main place on the track that separates the classes is the corners. the next time youre at a race watch where the different classes get on the power...beginners will brake sooner comming up to the turn, coast through the turn, and start accelerating about 3/4 of the way through the turn, whereas the pro/A class riders will slam on the brakes later comming into the turn, and then be on the power all the way through the turn. also the ability to soak up jumps and stay low will separate classes too. the beginners who are doing the big jumps will be going super high to make sure they can clear them, whereas higher class riders will throw the bike sideways going up the face to stay lower to the ground. i race in the cma (california motocross association) and they have a points rule where they will bump you up to the next class if you are dominating the class you're currently in. another thing is that beginners at small town races are a lot different than the beginner class at a series race. once in a beginner race i went 2-4 (only bcause there was an intermediate sandbagging that swept both motos, and my footpeg snapped off in the second moto) but at a series race i went 6-12 in the same class. however the dealer dollar payout is a significant difference -- 1st place for a beginner is $50 whereas a novice will get $175 to win his class. this is definately an incentive for people to move up so they can win more money. i dont agree with sandbagging, but it's something that will always be there.
