• Glad you enjoyed it dude. Don't know what that track is like but by me I have options of full blown MX tracks like Apex in Worcester, or I can do smaller events with less riders on flatter easier tracks such as Brewery MX, which are way nicer on the classic MX bikes. Have a look around and see what's on offer. The more you ride the fitter you will get as well. I personally think a rowing machine is good to build bike fitness providing you legs have some cycling strength so that may help.
    Realistically that bike is a great all rounder as well and will serve you well for enduro and MX. Once you get a bit of practice you will be flying around the enduro tracks as well.

  • There are a handful of tracks not too far, but this is the only one I can realistically ride to/from. Basically I need a trailer. This local one (Conquest Valley Motorsport) seems to have everything so super lucky.

    What kind of riding do you normally do? I could not get over how knackering it was, especially the enduro. I'll never complain after a track day again. With the MX it took me 3 sessions to last until the end of the allotted 20 mins. In prep for doing some more spirited riding, and tumbles, I fitted barkbusters today.

  • You you will build up strength. It's forearm mainly which helps reduce arm pump I feel. That's why I like the rowning machine. Doing manly classic mx and trials plus a fair bit of MTB as well.
    I honestly don't think those guards will help your riding personally but I'm happy to be proved wrong. Also on the pic before if may be the angle but your levers look really low.
