From broken femurs to death, motocross can be considered one of the most dangerous sports the world has. It just takes one misplaced rock or one bad shift. I present you one of the GNARLIEST and CRAZIEST crashes motocross has had and will have. Prepare yourself to see something never before seen, something that will blow you out of this world. I like to call this video the  ''When everything goes absolutely wrong'' video. Buckle up for serious disbelief and probably a small laughter.

Red Bull Straight Rhythm Analysis

Can we see Super cross races like this in the near future? There are many questions and doubts regarding this style of racing. If you miss or fail a jump the injury can be extremely high due to the speed. Techniques will have to change as well as the bike. Techniques such as scrubbing harder and practice start more than turns. The bike setting will probably change to a faster and with more torque bike. This can heavily influence big industries since they will not focus on handling but more on speed or suspensions. With this being said, it can be inferred that racing can get really interesting. There can be more competition and probably new riders can now participate. The question now is, how far are we from this type of competition, 5 years, 10 years. Also another question can be, what racers will accept this challenge? Many riders are known for their incredible turning and rut speeds. In this races, they would be heavily influenced without turns.

                                              Scrubbing will be a technique that must me mastered in order to gain time. With a perfect scrub, you can gain essential time, giving you space to breathe. This will change practice formats and basically the whole sport. The riders will have to train scrubs and get used to the speed.

Whoops are also a major part of the straight rhythm. Not all riders can pass the whoops as James Stewart or Justin Bogle. Many will have to practice and believe me, practicing whoops are hard, or you go HAM or nothing. Whoops are extremely challenging as well as it requires technique, keeping the balls of your feet on the pegs and pressing hard in the legs as well as a constant flow of acceleration.

The winner will be the one who throws it down harder and goes faster. 

How to Position Yourself For A Motocross Start And FUNNY GAGS

Starts

Races can be won and lost on the start. Motocross expert, Ricky Carmichael said that a good start can assure you a win race if you can handle the pressure. Starts have been divided into two sections, concrete and dirt starts. Concrete starts are usually used by amateur riders and they require a slighlty

different technique than dirt. The first thing you should know about concrete starts is that the floor must be clean. You must do a small burnout just top clean the knobs on the rear wheeel. Once the 30 second board is up, position yourself and be ready to act. Both feets should be down and your weight should be on the back seat. Your face should be facing the starting gate and your elbows should be up. Once the 5 second board is up, grab the clutch and shift to gear one. Slowly release the clutch and when the bike starts moving, hold the front brake. Once the gate drops, release the clutch and dont accelerate to the fullest until  you reach the dirt.

Dirt starts are quite different and hard to get used to. Prepare the surface where your rear wheel will be driving out of the gate. Kick some dirt into the rut left from previous starts and press it down. This will give you a harder  and smoother surface. The only real difference from concrete starts is to have your weight forward on the bike and to pick a lower gear because there will be a lot more traction as the gate drops. 

Motocross 2013 Update

Two champions were crowned at the motocross event in the new track in Utah. Ryan Villopoto clinched the 2013 450 AMA title at Miller Motosports Park. After winning both motos, Kawasaki rider captured his second motocross Championship. In the 250, Eli Tomac won his first motocross title in the lites class. Villopoto go the holeshot for the first Moto and quickly got away. He held a 7 second lead in the first couple of laps. Ryan Dungey who was the title defender needed to win Villopoto to keep his chances alive. Unfortunately, by the time he got passsed Justin Brayton who was second, Villopoto was too far to be seen. Villopoto and Dungey finished first and second in Moto 1, which allowed Villopoto to be closer to winning that title. Villopoto's outstanding performance at the Utah National was enough to grab the 2013 championship.

 Heading into Moto 2, the 250 Class Championship was still available for Tomac and the KTM rider Ken Rockzen. Justin Bogle (Eli Tomac's team mate) grabbed the holeshot. Roczen took over the lead in lap 7 until Tomac started to pressure Roczen. In a few laps, Tomac took over the lead and showed what he was made off. Although Tomac had the advantage on Roczen in Moto 2, the championship wasn't completely over until Baggett entered the second place battle with Roczen. Baggett's last-lap pass on Roczen was enough to give Tomac the points he needed to secure the 250 Class Championship with an overall win.

My Experience With Racing

Racing has always been in my veins. My uncle distributes Honda and Kawasaki for the country i live in. This has facilitated my chances of racing and made it easier to continue doing it. Racing started in my uncle's son called Juan Carlos Salvatierra or ''Chavo''. His son came to be the greatest motocross racer Bolivia has had and will. He has a total of 8 national championships and many international race wins. He is my motivation and my desire to be the next champion, to continue the family racing. Right now, Chavo is racing the biggest Rally in the world called, ''Dakar''. 2014 will be his 4th time in this race and his best finish until now is a top 20. The top 20 riders in this race are considered to be heroes and most have them have industry sponsors which Chavo doesnt have. I will be talking more about him and his racing in another entry.

        Unfortunately I started my career as a motocross racer a little too old. I started with 13 years old but due to my harsh routine Chavo gave me I was able to reach the top guys level quickly. I used to race in the 85MX category one year ago. I finished 2nd in the overall national championship which i was comfortable with since it was my third year of racing. This year I stepped up to the 250 category which i struggled a little bit at first. The bike was too big for me but i grew about 10 cm throughout a short amount of time and got hold of it. My debut in this category was on the first start of the season. I had to say it was splendid after finishing 3rd overall. This gave me a small boost to train even harder. I am currently standing 3rd in the local championship which i defintely wasn't expecting. I am looking to become a national championship before I leave to study in the US. There is still a long road ahead but I am aware of the hard work that is needed in order to accomplish this goal of mine.
