Well i have been going out to the local MX track last year so i could get ready to race, and it was always empty with only a few bikes to go against, so i never got near them since it was such a big track. Now, just this past saturday and just got my first test of real racing. The track was packed with bikes and a lot of 400 ex's and banshees, (i was the only blaster). I thought i would get run over, but when i got out and went up against this 400ex, i beat him and passed him on all the corners and stayed up with him on the straightaways, he only outjumped me (400ex riders im not saying my blaster is better than a 400ex). I was amazed!! the scariest part was jumping within 8 inches of another quad! Cant wait until i am 16 so i can get out there! I still got a lot of practicing to do though! I doubt that will last for long, both the fear of jumping close to another quad, and me beating a 400ex.
