Motocross is such a tough sport with this, you don't just sign your kid up and have coaches, facilities, and equipment provided like with school sports so it is tricky. I'd say the biggest thing in addition to getting him to some riding schools is finding some good, fast older riders for him to ride with regularly in your area if you can. The biggest impact on my riding came from riding with my dad and his friends who were fast A riders when I was a kid. I wasn't worried about them blowing by me or anything because they...

I watched the videos. I'm far from a riding coach or mx analyst but since you asked here ya go. These are things I've read or had people tell me over the years.😃 (Disclaimer) I'm a 66 year old novice so....... maybe this will help maybe not lol. My biggest advice is make sure it's always fun, like others have said make sure to go out and just fart around and ride for fun too. Don't make every ride a lesson. Just my $.02 Starts. The start is 2 parts, getting the jump off the line and being first coming...

Lots of ways. Got to be comfy with controls. Starts, stops, corners. Lots of vid, then compare with faster riders, then he can see what he's doing.

Sounds like an excellent base of knowledge to put into practice. No substitute for practice! Maybe take some videos of him riding so he can see for himself what he’s doing right and what he can improve.

If he can have fun while working on improving technique the speed will improve naturally with seat time. Trying to go faster without sound fundamentals is a recipe for injury. Maybe a few riding lessons could be beneficial?

Let him have fun, if he wants it, it’ll grow from there.

Tips? Frosted.

Watched the vids. Tip #1 - never ride with your helmet not buckled properly.

There are no shortcuts. Bike set-up is the most important thing. Correct springs and sag are a must. Technique comes next, take a class that teaches proper technique or go online and find videos that teach it. After that, it's all seat time. The more you race, the quicker you will improve. Also, practice starts, it never hurts to start a race in the top 3. And don't worry about a younger kid being faster, it's going to happen to you no matter how fast you get 😄 These are all my opinions, take them for what they're worth....

Seat time, seat time, seat time....and get away from the track for a while. Go practice figure 8 drills, and turn tracks if you can. Working on fundamentals until they become second nature is the best way to improve.
