DIRT BIKES
There are two basic types of motorcycles. One type is made for riding on smooth
surfaces like roads or paved race tracks. These motorcycles are called road bikes. They
are heavier, faster, and more powerful than off-road bikes. Off-road motorcycles, or dirt
bikes, are lighter than road bikes. Dirt bikes are built to handle rough terrain like dirt,
mud, and rocks.
Not all people use dirt bikes for sport. Some people need their dirt bikes for work.

The coarse is an obstacle coarse with things like boulders,
logs, and streams that you will have to cross or maneuver on top of. The final kind of race
is enduro. They are very long races which test your skills in map reading and if need be
fixing your bike in the middle of nowhere with what you got. One famous race is the
Paris-Dakar Which is an astonishing 6,371 miles (10,250 kilometers).
“All dirt bikes share some basic features-knobby tires, light weight frames,
long-travel suspension, and two- or four stroke engines placed high and out of the way.';
(Kawasaki owners manual, Intro)
“Knobbies';, or knobby tires give the dirt bike good traction through mud, loose gavel, and
sand. Without knobby tires, you would not have much control on rough trails. In deep sand it would be very difficult to move forward with just regular tires. Although on a paved
road they will give you an rather bumpy ride. Another important part of all dirt bikes is
long-travel suspension. This includes the fork legs in the front and one or two shock
absorbers in the rear. Long-travel suspension softens the ride over the big jumps. “All dirt
bikes have engines that are placed high in the chassis so they can clear obstacles suck as
large bumps, stumps, and rocks. The exhaust pipe also rides high so it will not catch on
boulders or fallen trees.';(Jesse Young,16)
Competition Bikes, Incorporated (Inc.) makes bicycles for professional and other highly accomplished riders who compete in bike races, biathlons, and triathlons.

Turns; it’s where races are won and lost in the sport of motocross. I grew up racing competitive motocross from age five to eighteen. It was, and is something I will love and hold dear to my heart forever. Though my achievements and progression as a motocross racer did not always come easy. It is often said that the sport is as much mental as it is physical. For me, once racing became serious, the mental capacity for taking turns quickly and effectively became quite the challenge. It was hard for me to understand the proper mechanics of how to approach, execute, and exit rough and rutted turns as fast as my competitors. This was always the most challenging aspect of the

“While the Wright Brothers flew overhead and Model T’s rolled off Henry Ford’s assembly line, the new sport of motorcycle racing began drawing large crowds bent on celebrating a piston-powered future.” (Britannica). From 1901 to around 1903, the first racing motorcycle would be produced by the Hendee Manufacturing Company, being known as the “Indian”. Soon in 1903, Harley Davidson would produce their product of the Indian, being slightly different with a 1.75
Dirt Bikes USA, a small company headquartered in Carbondalewas founded in 1991 by Car Schmidt and Steven McFadden, two young but experienced bikers with engineering backgrounds who saw that dirt bikes were becoming very popular in the Unites States as both sporting and racing motorcycles. In the early time, they developed frames for dirt bikes that were more suited to off-road handling and used it as a model to build their own dirt bikes models by using motorcycle engines manufactured by other companies, such as Honda and Rotax Motors of Austria. When Steven got the first place in a race, other peoples began to very interested in their
DIrt track racing is a lot faster paced than any other races. Dirt racing features range from 20-100 while nascar ranges from about 100 to 500 laps and their is no pit stops the only time you can get in the pits is on a caution. Dirt gets a lot more intense because you're going up to 5 wide on a much smaller track. It is also a lot cheaper for admission than in nascar because it only costs 5-15 dollars for admission while nascar costs over 1 hundred dollars. In conclusion dirt is cheaper more fun doesn’t break the
The other type, supercross is where riders are in an indoor track. The track is tight. There are triples about 60 – 75 feet long. A triple is three piles of dirt in a row packed smoothly. The first is a takeoff, which launches the rider in the air. The middle is there for safety or in case amateur riders cannot jump the whole distance. The last is the landing. This is where the riders land. Also, in supercross there are sections called whoops. A whoop section is piles of dirt about 3 ½ feet tall, and some are about 4 feet deep. You are supposed to skim over them with your front tire up and only your back touching. These in my opinion are the hardest. Because your body is being thrown around and it is all that you can do to stay on the bike, you go back and fourth as fast as you can blink.
