Motocross - Action

For the last month I have been training for motocross every Sunday afternoon in Kaluagala. This has been my goal from the beginning of the year and I have been able to stick to this. Overall my motocross skills have been improved by getting help from a motocross rider called Haren. He has given me small pointers which has helped me with improving my skills. For example he has said that I need to do some excercise apart from just driving in order to strengthen my stamina, I have therefore gone running a couple of times each week, however a lot of time is not needed, just approximately 30 minutes.

The track I have been practicing at consists of 6 jumps and i have been able to clear 5 out of 6 which is pretty good seeing can only go once a week. Below is a picture from the last time I went training. I will also be uploading a video next time in my blog.

I am aiming at clearing all the jumps before the December holidays, I think this can be possible if I really take it to the next level. My training has shown commitment and perseverance throughout the last month since I have been doing it every Sunday.

Some other hints that Haren gave me was that I need to work on my position while I am in the air during a jump, he said that i need to bend my back a little more and keep the motocross steady. Overall, my motocross riding skills are improving quite quickly and I am really enjoying the thrilling experience.
