The Key Towards An Enhanced Performance Lies In Your Gear

Competing in motocross requires lots of riding gear unlike riding a horse. The following are some tips on utilizing riding gear to rev up your performance.

Raise your visor. This is to make sure that you have nothing blocking your sight. Always look up the trail, the farther you look ahead, the higher your margin of safety is, and the faster you can go into that section.

Make sure you remove the vinyl liner of the one in front of your mouth and inside your helmet. This maximizes the airflow to your face. The backflow from your humid breath will be reduced as well as fogging of your goggles, therefore, help you avoid overheating. But do not remove any of the Styrofoam, or any similar material, designed to absorb the shock of a crash.

Always get your goggles ready for the worst possible conditions you may face. Take out the lens, then wash the goggle with your hands and dry it thoroughly. Spray the inside of the lens with breath fog deflector solution and treat the outside with windshield wash. Make use of a static remover to repel dust if water is expected on the course.

If the conditions are very hot and humid, use riding glasses instead. You will notice the distinction in the amount of air cooling your face. This though will compromise the protection of your eye.

Make sure that you carry water during any race. So you’re going to have a drink system attached to the back of your chest protector. Zip-tie the bottom front of the chest protector to the belt on your pants to minimize its weight. This will prevent the front of your chest protector from digging into your Adam’s apple.

During hot weather, do not put on calf-length socks but rather put on light, short socks. Your feet acts like a radiator for your body. Thick, tall socks overlap your riding pants, therefore, heating you up further. That is, if your boots are comfortable enough to be worn this way.

Always check the weather channel for the forecast, although it might not be always accurate but it will give you a good idea of the possible condition of the weather. And this can give you an idea on what to wear.

You need boots that will take in all the action and live up to it by being durable and able to protect your feet and lower legs. The only purpose of the motocross boots is to be tough and to protect you. They should have soles that absorb shock and shin pads for protection, they should also be flexible, comfortable and streamlined. Most of the boots also are scratch resistant and protect you from your legs getting hyper extended.

It is wise to have a good supply of latex/vinyl gloves at your beckoning. You’re going to need them when cleaning and re-oiling air filters.

When you sweat, you lose 2 percent of your body weight which can lead to loss of mental acuity and can lead to exhaustion. So ensure that you always drink up. You are dehydrated when your urine has a dark color. Only drinking when thirsty should be avoided.
