I tried MX a few years ago.....just a practice day here and there then my son wanted to try it. I quickly steered him to the TT/Flat Track side of racing thinking it would be safer than having young kids flying through the air. I truly believe that is safer than mx although yes you are going faster and are much closer to each other on the tt/flat track course. I guess each has their risks.....but now TT is a thing of the past
and too bad because we really like it. My son seems to be adapting very quick to MX style of riding. It will take us MANY more weekends of practice before we even think about participating in a race. Definitely requires much more FITNESS and SKILL. We will probably try out Dade City and Sunshine (those are the 2 I practiced on once or twice many years ago) soon. I like that bartow has open practice on Saturday and Sunday and that you do not have to do it during the week.
