hey ya'll i wanna start racing but i know nothing (lol) and i wanna learn about the race classifications and places to practice how to race and the stuff i need to start racing any help??? please

1st you will need at the very least a kill switch, nerf bars, helmet, goggles, gloves.
2nd you need to figure out what type of racing you want to do, MX, TT, Flat track, XC

let us know and we can better help you ;)

What is TT?

Tittie Twister

No wonder you guys get so excited about it when it is mentioned in a thread.

TT stands for Tourist Trophy.

what is mx and xc ??

motocross and cross country

i think im just gonna learn about tt and flat track

What does TT stand for?

Not too many places you can LEGALLY pracitce tt and flat track :-\ You could always ride xc and mx at seminole. When I have enough money I want to enter a few races at seminole. After spending a weekend their during a race when my ankle was broken, really got me thinking of just being a hobby rider instead of a racing, but man I wanna race, just to expensive for now.

Third time!  What is TT?

TT stands for Tourist Trophy. Seriously.

how much is to practice at Seminole also is like a age limit?

also how do you get to seminole from cape coral also is there like jumps mx and xc(like big ones) oh and what do you do in tt

No age limit enforced. Yes their jumps ;)

k thanks man

Now that I know that TT stands for Tourist Trophy, can somebody take pity on me and describe what kind of riding or racing this is.  Can't seem to get my mind around a picture of this.  Thanks.

^^
x2

what is the point in tt??

TT is a high speed track with smaller jumps

FLAT TRACK is like nascar but with dirt and quads

MX is lots of big and small jumps

XC is like trail riding


You can experience all these types of riding in 2 places that are next door to each other
hardrock mx and ocala thunderbowl in ocala florida. you need flat track tires to do the TT and FLAT TRACK

thank you a whole lot also where can i do mx xc near cape coral

Thanks for the info.  I had a feeling you would be the one to explain it to us uninitiated.

so tt is like supermoto?

TT is similar to flat track racing. The quads set up of tires and suspension are very similar. Flat track racing is done on a round or oval track, where the quads always turn left (like stock cars). TT racing will use the oval portion of the track, and encompass the infield area with both right AND left turns and some small (2 to 3 foot tall) jumps. The jumps are high speed floaters, not MX style "big air" jumps. Look up TT racing on the internet or get the video Huevos 7, as it has some good TT footage.
Hope this helps.   

what about xc does that have like big jumps

No, unless the course is abnormally short and then they will sometimes make part of the course a regular MX track, but your not required to jump, you can roll over them of course.

true

lil fat - what kind of bike do you have?

blaster

Schwinn here!

With your age and the bike, you could ride the Junior classes in FTR..

The next race is January 27th in sarasota.

im  15 and my blaster is modded out so i dont think that would be it

hey do you need to have your quad tuned different for mx (suspension)

Ofcourse, but if youre a first timer dont sweat it, just remember to always lean back, you dont know ow easy it is to flip forward.

lol ill remember that

what suspention do you recomend for a blaster for mx
