I used to race motocross when I was younger(8yrs-16yrs old) and absolutely loved it. It was fun as shit!!!!<------that was an understatement! I tore up my elbow pretty bad when I was 16 and had to quit as a result. Sucked ass!!! And to this day, still sucks ass!!!

My advice: get a cheap dirtbike and learn the 'clutch' system of the bikes and you should be good. We(my family) always had a house with atleast 5-10 acres to go with it, and my dad bought me and my younger brother a couple a dirtbikes and built us our own 'lil' track in the backyard to ride and learn on. He taught us the basics, clutchwork, and all. And then let us free. I remember back then(I'm 26 now) comin home from school and the only thing on my mind was riding my dirtbike around our track my dad built in our back yard! It was great! We lived in Edmond, OK at the time and found out the nearest track around us was within 20-30min away in Midwest City. My dad said if we kept our grades up he would take us every weekend. We(me and my bro) kept our grades up and we're there damn near every weekend. Turns out, this(the track in Midwest City, was the hometown track of two of the professional motocrossers on the AMA circuit, Guy Cooper-from Stillwater, OK., and Robbie Reynard from Moore Oklahoma). You can't even imagine the feeling your riding/racing on the same track that two proffesional riders from the AMA supercross/motocross circuit consider as their 'hometown track'. It was badass!!!!!!!

Needless to say, we(my brother and I) got many pictures taken with them, as well as autographs from them. And during the off season, seeing them out there tearing up the track was badass!!! Some of the jumps they would do were amazing, jumps as in doubles, triples....

Guy Cooper, from Stillwater, OK has like 50 acres in Stillwater, OK. He invited me and my family to his place and watch him race one weekend, My dad took me and my brother and it was badass. He had like 2 'supercross' style tracks, 3 'motocross' style tracks, and 3 'enduro/cross country' style tracks. It was badass, to say the least.

Along the same note, at the track in MWC(Midwest City), I'll never forget......there was a 90ft tabletop jump, followed shortly by a single jump about 15ft or so right after the tabletop followed by a quick 's' turn. Robbie Reynard, when he was there(and I happened to be there), was the only one that would 'clear them' both. When I say 'clear them', I mean jump the whole 90ft tabletop jump as well as the single jump and land on the landing edge of the single jump. It was SICK!!!!!!

Man, this brings back memories!!!!!!!

I wish I still had/could ride motocross!

It(this track in MWC) has produced many riders on the Pro Circuit(AMA).
My last couple of races there was this guy name Jonny Marley in the same class as me(80cc). He was badass! I shit you not. As soon as the gate dropped, he would let us go(he stayed at the line), we would be off and running and he would let us get a lap/lap and a half in front of him then he would come up and pass us and ****ing win the race! It was insane! I geuss it didnt hurt that his aunt/uncle owned the land/track. But still, it was badass! He is also on the AMA circuit nowdays.
