never buy a used bike that has been raced hard (made that mistake)

don't be a cheap a$$ when buying boots or a helemet

practice makes perfect

Better one yet buy a bike from someone who races hard and can afford a mechanic and you will get a better bike then you could ever get a never been raced one. Usually never been races means never really learned to ride, so do you think someone who never bothered to step it up and race would care like a racer does for his bike? Well I can say that I bought a 04 yz250f that got second in Illionis whatever district that is in the B class about all I have had to do to it is regular maitence so point being LOOK FOR A BIKE RACED BY A SPONSORED A OR B RIDER. Fully modded for a fraction of the original price.

Yeah I know most bikes that were raced are actually better because racers take pride in their bikes where a person that kind of just puts around everynow and then might not know all the maintenence they should be doing

2 strokes 4 life

if u ever ride trails where there are rangers on bikes, dont make the mistake of thinking you can outrun them

its a good idea to wear a chest protector if ur gonna be following a 450

if ur gonna brake tap to get the front end down, make sure the clutch is pulled in
