Tips For New Riders of Motocross Bikes

When you first begin learning to ride a motocross bike, it's best to have a friend with you who already knows how and can show you the ropes. You can also borrow his motocross bike to give it a try before you lay out money for one of your own so you go in knowing the basics of safety and handling of your new bike.

Before you hop on and take off, let your friend show you the highlights of the motocross bike. You need to know where the throttle and brakes are and how to use them. It's best to begin your first riding lesson in a wide flat field, this way there is less chance of running into someone or something. Now, here are some tips every beginning motocross bike rider should keep in mind.

* Take it slowly. It takes work to control a motocross bike so don't give it full throttle or you may find yourself on the ground with the motocross bike out in front of you.

* For best balance, sit forward on the seat right behind the tank.

* Don't take your feet off the pegs. Sticking your legs out to balance can get an amateur rider injured.

* When going over bumps, raise your butt off the seat to avoid getting 'saddle sore'.

* Resist the urge to slam your brakes. You get a less jerky stop if you downshift first and let the motor rev down naturally. This will also help keep you from sliding out of control.

Use these tips for having a safe ride on your motocross bike and enjoy your new found favorite sport!
