I’m just basing this question on the televised supercross events with riders grabbing huge air over jumps, etc.

I use to race karts and cars, but got out of that 10+ years ago. Want to get back into something racing and all the tracks around me have shut down..... except the MX tracks (and one MX even just opened up in the last year). I've always had an interest, so I suppose this is the time to give it a shot.... and 33 years old. Not looking to race competitive or anything, just have a good time and enjoy that edge.

I'm sure this asked a lot. But any recommendations for a bike? One that may be better for a 33 year old trying to have a good time but not needing the top competitive bike. 6' tall. 190ish lbs.

Last time I looked into MX I was leaning toward a Yamaha YZF(?) 250. Obviously times have changed to 4 stroke now, I believe?

Thanks in advance!

my father bought this old yamaha dt125 like 20 years ago and now that i have my licence i want to ride it and change some things on like fenders and other things.But what i want to xhange the most are thr headlights and like the front part. Inlooked at some KTM headlights and i wanted to ask if it whould fit the dt?

I’ve been dealing with a herniated disc for a few years now. It affects my sleep, work, and importantly my riding. I can’t bend at the waist and keep my legs anywhere near straight. Every time I ride the track I am extremely sore and in pain for the next week from the disc. I’ve tried PT, rest, cortisone oral and injection. I’m about to say screw it and get the surgery. Wondering if anyone else here has had the same L5/S1 herniation and got surgery. How long before you were able to ride on the track again? How was the recovery? Etc I’m all ears

What am I doing wrong

Just bored ;) Tell me the best 4 stroke dirt bike sound youve heard. I begin: crf 250 2021 with yoshimura Full System (double pipe). Loved that sound! Very much low end/deep sounding exhaust.

Lake Elsinore closing. Saw it on the news this morning. Apparently a 6year old died after being struck by another rider this past June 2024. Family sued wrongful death.

Sorry I did not attach any links.

Ignore price. What’s the most comfortable lightest weight helmet and what boots are the most flexible while still providing protection and ventilation.

Thanks for your input.

Pessoal, morava em SP e em várias cidades há lugares onde podia alugar motos e fazer trilhas offroad, mudei recentemente para Florianópolis e gostaria de dicas de lugares onde posso fazer o mesmo no no estado, até agora não tive sucesso procurando.

Last time i used a gopro i had a gopro hero 2. Back then they came with a plastic case. Do you need that now for the newer models or are they mor durable against roost? I’m riding motocross not trails

I am looking to buy a MX and starting to ride casually.

But I have a hard time figuring out the used bike market.

How many hours on a bike is too many?

I know it has to do with brand, how well it has been serviced and how it has been ridden etc.

But what difference is there between a bike thats been ridden 100h, 200h, 300h and so on.

How much riding is 100h for the avarage rider?

I know these are questions like "how long is a rope" but please share your experiances of buying used bikes.

Update:

Thank you all for your replies!

I ended up buying a Husqvarna FE250 from 2018 with 60h on the clock.

Background:
I'm 38 and have casually competed moto trials for much of my life. I love the trials community and it's family-friendly nature. My son (8) recently became interested in Mx, so I got bikes for both of us (DR-Z 70 and CRF450R) to start learning together.

A few weeks ago, we went to Pax Trax in Florida. The staff was very kind and welcoming. They have a flat turning track and an intermediate track in addition to their main and peewee tracks. My first time out ever, I started on the turning track and then transitioned to the intermediate track after no one else was on it. That's where the issue begins....

The Incidnet:
I was riding the intermediate track alone. I had done about 5 laps (first time ever on a track, and first time ever on this bike), and some guys joined the track behind me. I was unaware they had joined. They were SIGNIFICANTLY faster and caught up to me quickly. My first awareness that they were on the track was after a straight section approaching a rather large jump with about a 15 foot table top. I approached the jump cautiously with enough speed to jump a little and land on the table top. As my front wheel left the ground, I was suddenly struck on the right side by someone's handlebars as he was launching off the jump and startled at the same time by another guy jumping on my other side. Fortunately, I did not crash, but it did hurt me badly and scared me enough that I am nervous to go back to the track and try again. Neither of the guys slowed down for even a second nor looked back to see if I was okay, so I exited the track.

My Questions for thought:

• Is this what I should expect on an intermediate track?
• Where is a safe place for me to learn without fear of someone acting this way?
• Do folks always act like they are racing for stakes on the track?
• What could I have done differently?

All input is greatly appreciated!

I already have my own marketing agency and I know I could set up a better customer journey than most of the competitors on my market.

What are some of the details that seem important to you or that you have had a bad experience with the shops you are buying from?

If you are a dealer already do you have any advice for a beginner? Especially when it comes to suppliers?

I am located in Eastern Europe, so if you are not from my region, I probably won't be your direct competitor :D
