Having a motorcross crash isn’t a good experience anyway, but when your testing your tyres, and trying to find the limits of your MX engine, you don’t want your freestyle stunt or bike maneuver captured for all to see when it goes wrong.

A public park or track isn’t the best place. Ideally somewhere you can be a little isolated, maybe a farmer will let you have a day’s field duty for some low rent or you know of a place in the back and beyond?

Wherever you go, DO take a buddy. You should never attempt any new trick or race move where you’re totally on your own, in case you need medical attention and cannot raise it yourself. Then get geared up – buy what you need before as part of your preparation. Chest protectors, knee and elbow pads etc etc.

Discount helmets, should be approached with caution, if you do have a muddy crash, you need to protect yourself the right way. Be sure dirtbike helmets are at least DOT and SNELL approved.

Should your steel wheels and brakes give you a flip and you do end up on a motorcross video. Your recovery will be vastly improved, wearing the latest gear from a reputable site on the net.

MX information is all over the web, and better practices are commonplace today. Never assume anything and research exactly what your going to do before you do it – then you know where the pitfalls are.
