• Answer:

  i race for south west schoolboy motocross, and this is what the BSMA (british schoolboy motorcycle asociation) say if you are 10 you should ride a 85 small wheel, you would be to old for a 65, you could get two 85cc s/w bikes so when you go racing you have a second bike ok you need transport either a van, pickup truck, trailer or motorcross rack to get to the races, you need a helmet aproved british motorcycle sport, goggles, some form of neck protection,body armour, elbow pads,gloves, race top, race trousers, knee pads, kidney belt and knee lenghth mx boots. once you have got the kit and the bike you need to join a club, if you say which county you are from i will sugest a club in that area, once you have joined the club you can start racing at there meetings which are usually about twice a month, each race you enter will cost about 25 pounds. there are two VERY IMPORTANT things to remember, racing motocross is expensive and VERY dangerous. normally when ive been racing i come away with brouses and smallish scrapes, but at least 2 people in a day get seriosley injured like broken legs, broken arms, spinal injuries, but if you take it easy to start with you will be fine buddy, just dont go and injur yoursrlf on your first race. i hope this is helpfull, hope you start motocross its a great fun sport, i hope to see you out there dude.
