MOTOCROSS+RACING

 MOTOCROSS RACING

Another type that is very common as well is motocross. This is like the complete opposite from a harescramble because the t racks are a lot different and you don’t race for as long of a time. These tracks contain a lot of jumps and things like that. These tracks are a lot shorter, only between 2-3 miles in length. Even though they are shorter they are just as hard as a harescramble because you are doing more laps, the track is short, and because of this the track generally will get torn up. Also they do what are called heats. The heats are generally 30 minutes plus one lap long. So you can see that this is quiet a bit shorter than a harescramble, but they do two heats and the person with the best two finishs from both heats is the winner. Next there are also not quiet as many riders out there either. Like harescrambles at motocross races you can get into the pits for free to and talk with the pros and hang out with them. There are usually only 40 riders in a heat. In this type of racing they do let you have practice because of the track being much shorter in length and to also test your bikes. As well as a harescramble you need to be very well prepared for this as well. This takes a ton of upper body strength because this is a lot faster pace than a harescramble when you are not slowing down for trees, you are going fast over jumps. This is a lot of fun to do because you can be going over a jump going 65 mile per hour and go 60 feet in there air. It could also be dangerous because it is more high speed. If you would crash it these speeds it would hurt because its not like a car where you are straped in a seat and surrounded, you are just sitting there holding on so you go where ever the ATV goes. There is nothing between you and the ground so it hurts more if you come off even if you are wearing all of the gear. This is a lot of fun though to because its a good work out to go and practice on a track like this because it it so much different than what I am use to. Thats why it makes it fun. This takes more to be prepared for because of how fast and high you are going so the ATV better not have any problems going over a jump or it could end up pretty bad.
