How To Deal With Motocross Race Day Nerves – We took a group of 6 guys ranging from 14 years old, 110 lbs and 5’3″ to 50+ years old, 220 lbs and 6’3″ and everything in between and threw them into the deep end like everyone else. 24 Hours of Glen Helen accepted for every first time. For some odd reason, we gave our 2020 Yamaha YZ250FX GYTR build to Prairie Dogs MC to use and abuse for twenty-four hours around Glen Helen Raceway. Because this was a “fun” team and not a serious effort to win, there was very little preparation and low expectations of how well the team would perform.
The bike is basically how we originally built it minus a few different bits and pieces. Changes from the original build to this race bike include Renthal Twinwall fenders (999 too) for extra strength to prevent bending under a crash, stock gears (that was a mistake), a Maxxis SI front tire and two Maxxis IT rear tires. The bike also had TCS Powersports Suspension, as we used this kit during our YZ450FX test sessions, so it had the same valvetrain and spring rates as the #1 YZ450FX. Finally, we updated the drivetrain with a new Firepower O-Ring chain and front sprocket to match the DDC rear sprocket. To power the lights, we used a WR stator, a flywheel and a Firepower battery.

How To Conquer A 24 Hour Endurance Race: Tales From The Rookies
I’ve been very lucky to run 6 and 10 hours, but never 24 hours. Partly because of the physical and mental demands, but also whose bike is being used as a sacrificial lamb? When I was given the opportunity to ride with 5 other people on a bike donated by a club member, I thought why not?
We got to ride Trevor Hunters #224 Yamaha YZ250FX. Preparing the bike was left to Trevor and Craig Hunter. It wasn’t until the last day before the race that we knew our riders’ race order was to bring two full 5 gallon gas cans with premium fuel and be ready for some fun on the bike. That would have to be our club, the Prairie Dogs MC “B” team. It consisted of six newcomers. I was excited and nervous. 24 hours is a long time to run 10.2 miles on a motorcycle over varying terrain. Many things crossed my mind. Was I out of my mind, could I let the other riders down, could I handle an event that spanned day and night? Once there I was impressed by the well that our club put together. I felt like I was in a factory team. Bike #224 looked the same as bike #1, which was parked next to it.
The plan was set that we would take 1 hour each lap or two. This will of course be determined by round time. We had a dry break installed and had a loose plan to always fuel up when changing riders. Mike Wilson was leading and once I saw him ride in 1st
Lap the reality hit me that we were now racing for the next 23 hours and 35 minutes. I was helping with the pit exchange and supporting the team. After each rider had entered the line, I would ask how the course was going and any areas of concern to watch out for. It felt like my turn had come quickly. Some pre-ride advice I got from 24 hour veterans was to not ride like I did in the race, but to pace myself to partially insure the bike for the next rider. It’s a long race. I rode a bike for the first time around 3:30 p.m. My first ride was just feeling a bike I’d never ridden on a course I wasn’t familiar with. I rode three laps and by the second lap I felt comfortable on the 250F so I pushed a little. Unfortunately there was a very technical signal section on the top ridge with large pile ups on both laps 2 and 3 causing many delays and injured riders scattered across that section of the course. It was frustrating because my lap times didn’t reflect how well I was going because there were several minute delays. When I got off the bike, I decided I was going to go to FinishLineIV Hydration and get their IV. Then I went back to my trailer to eat, hydrate, shower and stretch.
Heart Issues And Riding
It was time for my next ride around 9:30pm. I was struggling with visibility and disbelief in my ability to drive fast in such conditions. I had slower lap times at night when most others on the team were cutting their times overnight. The bike ran flawlessly and never missed a beat. It was a tractor when needed and easy to ride. My biggest problem was that I’m 6’2″ tall and the bar/seat height was made to fit a much shorter pilot. But fitting six riders of different abilities, heights and weights is very difficult. I also only had 2 laps this time. i did
My last time on the bike was around 3:30. There was a sense of peace and tranquility. I was more physically exhausted than mentally. Again, I had trouble riding at night. I’m not as comfortable as I’d like to be. 9:25 was my fourth and last bike time, but only one lap, so Jordan Gorgone said he was going to finish so I wouldn’t have to get dressed.
Overall, the experience was a fun memory. The bike ran flawlessly. The team of riders and support people were top notch. Most importantly, we finished the race healthy and brought the bike in one piece. I love how it has brought our club closer together. I don’t think we could have done it any other way. We kept it fun and didn’t aim to win, just finish. And we did it with flying colors.
This was my first time racing at night, or even really using a light on a dirt bike for that matter. At first, I felt that the light was misdirected, but when I got off the motorway and into some back sections that lead to the truck track, I quickly realized that I now had a different vantage point to read cleaner lines on the road. course and began to look ahead with the help of the light, so as not to be distracted by the unpleasant shocks that occurred in those later hours. 24 hours speaks for itself.. Most people ask why you would ever do something like this, but after talking to many people who have been to this race, their answer usually has to do with team building, camaraderie and a good time. . with friends This race requires a village of people to help them, and those people in the pits are the most important people to get the team of riders to the finish line. As far as the course itself, I believe it was well marked and felt natural and flowing. As the course was broken, new lanes appeared and further into the race the difference between the left and right lanes felt like they were different in some areas. There were enough bumps and holes in the dirt to make you want to do less laps, but it was all about mentally staying in it and pushing. The only thing I would recommend to a first timer is if you feel ready.. you probably aren’t. You can plan every meal and stay hydrated, but getting enough fuel in you is very important and difficult. If I were to race again, I would prepare all my goggles ahead of time and plan my meals ahead of time so I could rest more in between and not have to worry about the little things.
Debrief: 2024 Pro Motocross Rd4 High Point
The YZ250FX has great low-end power, which was a little underwhelming in the hills of Glen Helen compared to my own 250. The fit and overall feel of the bike was very welcome in the turns and when trying to get the bike on the individual tracks and technical sections. Some things that felt a little foreign to me had lower bars or curves, or were too tight for me, and the first time I rode the bike, the straight tank cuffs stuck out a bit more than I would have preferred. , this is what I got
