For riders, it’s not just the roads that offer challenges but also the weather and the environment. Rainy rides seem amazingly romantic and even adventurous but can pose real threats to motorcycle riders and racers.

There’s danger of slipping and ending in a nasty fall and injuring yourself severely.

How to Prepare for Motorcross Races/ Events - Part II

Leave a reply

In a previous post we told you how to prepare for a motorcycle rally and today we’ll talk about a relatively tougher event – the motorcross and motorcross training.

Motorcross races and events are even more taxing and demanding on the body than rallies. One not only has to think about going on and being on the two wheels but also about speed and maneuvering on off-road circuits. For this, the rider/ racer has to keep not only a stable head on his or her shoulders but also a stout body that is able enough to combat the challenges of a motorcross route/ trail.

Here’s how motorcross racers prepare:

Identify Your Goals: Muscular Strength, Endurance, Stamina & Quickness

A) Exercises: Prepare a proper regime at least 2-3 months before the motorcross.

  1. Running and cardio are good ways to build stamina and also reduce fat if any for the race. A motorcross is a grueling off-road event and the lighter you are the better, the more chances there are of your survival in the race. Be fitter, leaner and stronger for your motorcross events. If you are running, run about 6 miles distance every day in a week.
  2. Go to the gym to build muscle with weight training. Weight training is extremely important since it not only helps you build muscles but also prepares your body for strenuous situations. From bench press, to leg press and shoulder press, complete the whole circuit and focus on primary body parts: shoulders and back.
  3. Mix up your exercise routine, increase weight and regularly shock your body by increasing the weights or doing more reps than the previous time, etc. Go for other sports such as basketball, football, etc. Also work on increasing your reflexes.

B) Motorcycling: Test Practices & Riding:

Training your body is only one-part of the training, you must also train to ride. Pick out different kinds of off-road circuits and go for test/ practice rides. Spend time on each section of the circuit and familiarize yourself with the trail and defamiliarize if you are still not sure about the venue of the motorcross. This will help you prepare for different kinds of off-road tracks.

C) Food Intake:

  1. If you are working out more than usual, you must ensure that you are eating healthy and wholesome food and that your body is consuming nutritious diet consisting of meat, veggies and wholesome grain.
  2. Stay away from the artificial stuff such as sports drinks and caffeine as much as you can. Do not include them in your diet.
  3. Keep yourself hydrated, add protein and multi-vitamin supplement to your diet.

Once this is done, select your motorcycle helmet, gear and clothing very carefully. Burn Out Italy offers some leading European motorcross helmet brands that keep you safe and sound as you go along the muddy and disrupted off-road circuits.
