I recently graduated from Motorcycle Mechanics Institute and I am currently looking for work in the motocross industry. I am willing to learn new things and expand my knowledge as much as possible. I am passionate about this sport and Its all I want to do. So can anyone inform me of how to get in contact with a team or a rider looking for a mechanic.

If you're willing to put in a lot of hours for little or no pay, I am sure you can find a privateer in need of the support. The best way? Get to the track and start talking to riders offering help. I know some smaller teams/privateers have done some intern programs. The pay is little or nothing, but the contacts you can make - if you do a good job and take advantage of it could be your ticket. I'm sure you have heard it 1000 times already, but it is crappy pay for a lot of hours of hard work, but the memories will be amazing.

Never burn a bridge, always try your best, and don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

just be careful not to do everything for free, after all it is a profession and you need to treat it like that unless you are wealthy and just want a hobbie.
