I tried ATV MX for the first time last night and got the crap beat out of me. It was at extremeworld here in Tulsa, OK. The track was good, I just had my suspension jacked up and I was taking some pretty hard hits. I bottomed out off a jump on my first run, so I got a little crazy and adjusted the compression to full. I think it made it worse for the next two runs. I backed the compression down quite a bit for the last run and it was better, but not right yet.

I need more testicular fortitude so I can hit the doubles, properly. Anyways, my hats off to MXers and guys that race. I just did practice runs at a slow pace and it was one heck of a workout. It definitely gave me some much needed perspective.

I tried it to for the first time a couple weeks ago. It was my first time riding on a track ever and pretty much my first time ever riding on dirt. It was a hell of a lot of fun though. Wore the crap out of me. I was sore for 3 days. Im going to try it again this weekend.

 

mx'ing is a pretty intense sport. on January 31st this year i wreck in Gonzales, LA on a double. Some guy stopped right after a double because his seat fell off (he was riding a gas gas). I didnt see him till i got to the top of the jump. Didnt wanna land on him so i let off the throttle, and any1 who races knows that if you let off of throttle before back tires get in the air you're gonna endo, and thats what i did. Landed face first and the bike righ ton top of me. Had 2 bruised ribs, bruised kidney, broke finger, broke bone in elbow, and whiplash. it was crazy

 

I race a few races a year. The first MX race I did, man all I can say is I have a WHOLE LOT OF RESPECT for the guys who do that. I swear if it was one more lap, I would have had to quit. Arm Pump? Whats that, I had BODY PUMP! It sure is fun , I can see why guys get so into it.
