Along with riding gear. Helmet/Boots Title: Re: racing tips Post by: 310R_Dude on May 13, 2005, 01:32:00 PM Once you and your quad have all the safety gear...
1)Practice at the track you plan to race. Memorize it. 2)Learn to hold your line(Don't swerve all over the track) Other racers depend on you for their safety too! 3)Figure out which jumps are which. Ones you can do and ones you can't/won't. 4)When you see the gate flinch even the slightest, GO! Let 'er RIP. You will not hit it ;) 5)There is a saying "You can only go as fast as you can stop" This is true to a certain extent. USE your brakes correctly. 6)When landing from a jump remember to have the gas ON. Unless the turn OR next jump is too close. When learning how to go fast have a goal in mind at the track. Just one, maybe two. Anymore than that and it is too much to think about and you will prolly just forget what to do. Seriously. If you want anymore tips just ask. Have fun most of all. Goodluck and take care, Dano Title: Re: racing tips Post by: redrider on May 13, 2005, 04:05:30 PM ya basically wat he siad but alot of it is ur love for wat kind of track uyr racing

If you don't pull the clutch in you risk stalling the quad. 2) To downshift becuase you lost too much speed in the air and knew it would lug in the gear you were in when you landed with the gas on. I usually just downshift without the clutch but I have heard that it is hard on the tranny. This would be really considered kind of "Advanced" and I don't know your skill level. So I don't know if this helps. Take care, Dano |
