In my opinion one of the first major modifications you should do to make your quad race ready is suspension.  You can have the most built motor in the world but if you cannot get the power to the ground it is pretty much useless.  A good place to start for the more moderate racer is a +2” standard travel a-arm kit, with performance shocks or rebuilt stock shocks; as well as a performance...

There are certain things that are almost must haves when attending a motocross race as a racer.  Most riders will have their own personal pre-race rituals that they perform to get focused for the race.  Aside from that there are also equipment requirements for both the rider and machine.  If you forget any of those at home you will not be allowed to race.  Here are a few things...

If you are a racer you know how important training is, and you also know how important maintaining a healthy diet can be as well.  You need to eat the proper foods to get the nutrients to support healthy muscle growth and an overall healthy body.   Dietary supplements can also be very helpful in maintaining a healthy body.   These supplements provide high percentages of im...

You know the feeling, you can’t grip the bars anymore, reaching for the clutch lever is almost impossible and every time you hit a bump it just makes it worse.   At one point in time every racer and rider alike suffers from arm pump.  This condition can take you right of a race in no time.  You will slowly start to fade towards the back and riders will start to pass you by as i...

They wear helmets, they com...

Motocross has done so well due to being sponsored by the ATV companies themselves. Because of these companies backing out the sport, it was kept alive by aftermarket companies. These companies made the sport better givin...

The ATVA Racing Series began in 1985 and due to this racing sport, sales of ATVs with both 3 and 4 wheels went through the roof. After many reported accidents and an extreme amount of injuries to the riders, three wheeled ATVs were considered to be too dangerous because when riding them they could tip or roll over rather easily. The safety concern drove manufacturers to stop production of their ...

The WPSA Motocross Racing Series, covers several avenues of motorized racing. The field is exciting! The series covers snowmobiling, motorcycles (both off road and on), and, of course, cars.

In recent years ATV racing quads have become quite a sport. It has been around for some time now, but now can be watched on different sports channels, if you subscribe to those in your cable sports package, as well as ESPN. Racing was once dominated by off road motorcycles, but not so much anymore. Their spotlight is shared with the atvs. Seems like you used to go to the county fair and all ...

Riding a motocross track is not for the beginning cyclist. Maybe an average cyclist could make it around the track a couple of times. But if you want to run a motocross race, mixing it up with other cyclists, jumping, sliding, and bumping, then you need to do some serious training. Motocross training consists of two parts. First, become one with your bike. This is partially having inborn ...
