What should you know before your first dirt bike ride?

For the ones that don't know anything as concerns motorcycles, they are all identical but in reality there are so many distinct categories of them.  There are also many combinations for arranging, illustrating how the motorcycles are put in use, or agreeing to the designer's aim, or some combo of the two.  Usually are accepted six main classes of motorcycles: cruiser, sport, touring, standard, dual-purpose, and dirt bike.  The last of the list is a type of motorcycle known also as off-road motorcycle because is conceived and concentrated for characteristic purposes, principally for motorcycle sports like Rally raid or Motocross.  The thing is that they have more light weight.  Also they have a simple rugged construction with petite bodywork, grant for easy recovery after spills, and huge wheels with knobby tires.  When we tell about this type of vehicle, the attention must be call to the fact that there are few principles that need to be appreciated if you want to ride without danger.


You ride and jump in the dirt bike games without a problem, but now you should give more concentration to this things.


In the first place when you sit on your bike you should concentrate on correct body position.  Your feet need to be able to touch the terrain if you have selected the appropriate bike size. You need to sit forward on your seed, which affects to all aspects of your riding, exceptionally turns. If you sit too back, the shock compresses more than the forks, which will cause the front of the bike to feel very vague in turns.  The front wheel will run a very large arc and will not have acceptable traction.


Concentrate on your skill rather than speed.  If you have the appropriate skill, the speed will come routinely and you'll be out of danger.  You should know that most of your riding should be done in the standing position.  


-  For simple approach and management of your foot levers, foot pegs should be in the middle of your feet.


-  With lightly bent knees, grip the bike near the bottom of the tank.


-  Keep your back kind of arched with your bum towards the rear, arms up, and elbows forward, with your head over the handle bars.


-  Try to keep one or two fingers on the clutch and brake levers.


Be alert that your body standing changes when you are riding in the sand or mud.  In these conditions your weight should be to the back of the bike.  This will give you bigger traction; you will defend the front wheel from bogging and prevent your self from throwing over the bars.  You need to be hard on the gas, to keep the bike rolling over the sand.


With more praxis the fun will triple!
