How do you get involved with Jr Motocross?

Answer 1

Go to the AMA's web site to find out the bike classes for your child to make sure that you are buying a bike with the correct disposition for your child's age. 4-6 is going to be in the pee wee Jr class and 7-8 is the pee wee Sr. class. The AMA defines age as what you were on Jan 1 that racing year. Older than 8, you would be getting into the 65 cc class. To get started, I would recommend a used bike. You can not be sure if the liking of the sport will stick! Used, or cheaper gear is recommended for the same reason. Though, an exception would be helmet, obviously. You do not want anything sub-par when it comes to that. Check where your local track is for competition as well as practice. Most tracks offer memberships, or pay as you ride options. The Motocross community is helpful so you will make a lot of friends who will help familiarize you with the ins and outs. Good Luck!
