I've always wanted to give MX a try! Some one day!
I hurt myself enough on a bike. Put a motor under me and I'd probably kill myself.

Uhh dude. That ain't cool. I dont do MX although ive ridden the odd motorbike when i have had the chance. But my mum hates them and if i brough one home, she NO JOKE would set it on fire giving me no chance to get rid of it. Im not kidding, she hates them THAT much.
But back on topic, my friend Kidafa who used to post here used to race MX and was sponsored.

I didn't race motocross, but I rode enduro style dirt bikes for many years. I got into bicycling because it is cheaper and there are not as many land use issues with bicycles. I still ride motorcycles, but now it is on the street only, unless I am visiting my father and he has a spare dirt bike in the barn.

I motocrossed for many years, but have done very little MTBing. In fact the only time was this summer up in the hills on the northern California coast. I had a blast!
