ok my mum as given me the go ahead for racing so where do i start
im two and a half but can ride a bike with out staberlisers
so im ready and waiting to start me racing
-
A nice easy track is the first bit. Try Hersden in Kent. There's a race there in two weeks time.
Your obviously not going to be jumping anything for a year or two yet so the main thing is to feel comfortable about riding up and over the jumps.
Remember you will fall off a lot but just get up and get back on. Don't let it beat you.
Wear the right gear and don't worry about the bike for a while as the biggest improvements will always come from within.
Lastly remember that it's meant to be fun.

im already trying to jump and do wheelies
so should be fun .plus i always fall of and jump back on the bike
and me dad is looking for the protection now
so should be safer when i crash

Bailee, learn from your old man's mistakes and make sure to use the correct tires!! Also, make your old man wear some of that protection too as he has a small problem with dirt. ;)
