First Track Experience

:
I rode a KTM 400...

Yesssssssssssss!

jk- glad you had fun no matter what you rode.  I also hit the track for the first time this year and even though I was intimidated, I still had a lot of fun and will def go back after the kids go back to school.

Hair I just read your thread on a 250F.  For the track it would be a better bike IMO than your XC-W.  And same goes for Courtney as well.  BTW, PaulB14 = Paul

Hi alex.  I think your best training will be on a track with other racers.  Don't expect to be a shoe-in the first time out.  If you lower your expectations you will have more fun IMO.  One of my all-time favorite races involved dicing it out for 5th place!  There is nothing wrong with the training you're getting now, but believe me, there is nothing that compares to the real thing...

I know i worded that wrong what i wanted to be a shoe in i ment was i just wanted to be better and have a chance aganist some of the other riders. but ya like you said paul i will not know till i try very good point, but i am still learning good fundementals and still getting use to the bike i never told you guys the last time i had a bike before this was my pw80 when i was 7 rode that till i was 10. and long story short i stoped riding when i was 10 and just got back into it at 15yrs old so i have not rode in 5 yrs i have only rode my new bike 6-7 times thats what i mean by i want to keep training till i am close to a shoe in lol o well i hope you get my point paul...

Actually 5 feet is really good for a first time. I'm not sure I even get 5 feet of air yet.
The key is that you liked it and now you have whole new riding places opened up to you in the form of tracks.
