Advice? I was in the ninth grade when LL started in 1982. My dream has always been to make it to the Amateur National Championship. I use to race lots of hairs scrambles back in school. I'm 52 now, no kids, single, have $$$$ and time. I bought a Suzuki RMZ450. I'm taking lessons. I'm getting better/faster. I'm working my butt off to get into shape for next year-2020 for the 50+ class. Any non-sarcastic advice for someone who is chasing a dream? Thanks
I'm running 6 miles in an hour 3 days a week, cycling for an hour 2 days a week, and doing Tapout workout series.
Thanks for the advice!
Two things I wish I would have known 15 years ago.
1.Core strength. Squats and planks etc.. You will notice a huge difference in your riding position/endurance after a few months.
2. Get a basic suspension re-valve. Then get comfortable using suspension clickers by educating yourself and experimenting.
The Shop
Be willing to travel to multiple qualifiers. I know some regions are easier to qualify for then others.
I am excited for you
Thanks again folks! Blessings.
