[QUOTE="cp380sx, post: 174429, member: 21323"] This thread started by a rider here in central Texas. We have always had a strong MX scene here. What that means is that all the classes are going to be fast. Those guys that you see whipping the beginner class will get smoked by the guys winning the novice class. The guys winning the novice class are going to get hammered by the fastest intermediates. When you move up to expert you have to contend with Charley Bogard and Josh Demuth, both of whom are National pros and have won many pro Arenacross races. If you really think someone is cherry picking time them with a stopwatch and compare his lap times with the next class. Jumping skills does not necessarily mean fast lap times. Something I learned a long time ago is that you only get as fast as the guys you ride with. I was serious about racing when is was a teenager so I only raced novice three times and moved up to intermediate for my fourth race ever. I struggled to stay in the top ten but within six months I was in the top three.I was winning after about a year. I got a lot faster because I was in a fast crowd. It's funny because now days my friends teased me about cherry picking the Over 30 classrecently. I won that class at the NMA Winter National this year. I had not raced in seven years but I still have good speed. The problem is I only can maintain a fast pace for 3 laps before I get full on arm pump. If I ride expert I have to maintain that pace for 6-7 laps. It gets kind of sketchy when you are hauling a$$ and your arms don't work. Plus, I'm old now (38)and I just ride for fun. :) [/QUOTE]
