Tips for very first race

<< < (4/6) > >>

Dingobmxer:
good armour (arms/legs minimum),good gloves, full face lid and RELAX and enjoy,

dont expect to set the world alight first time out and be pleasently suprised if you do  :4_17_5:


 :) DINGO :)

dirtyvans:
Get there early saturday and do lots of practice, session each straight starting from the berms or start hill, slowly work up your speed until your near  race speed. Youll prob be going faster sessioning each bit of the track then in the race anyway as your legs will me knackered by the time you get to it!, except the first set of doubles! spend most of ya time on these  :)

i'll be doing the same as i havent riden a track/raced since last year :LolLolLolLol: see ya on a berm  :)

pickle:
Lola, as everyone else has already said, saftey and enjoy........the only other thing i would suggest is gearing, make sure your gearing is good (44t chainwheel/16t freewheel) as alot of people tend to have the bike geared way to low and are spinning the pedals like crazy!   :daumenhoch:
