I want to know if I have a chance ? |
I really love motocross and I reently started working so i have so maney now. I've always wanted a motocross bike but my parents would'nt get one for me cause they thought I would get hurt. And now that i started working i would buy one but im almost turning 16 and getting my liscense. So i also need a car. But i want to know if I would start motocross at this age would I have a chace of maybe becoming a pro. Or should get my hopes up and get a car (WRX SRI or EVO 8) not sure which yet. Give me your true oppinion i dont want th get a bike and then be really bad at it and carless. But if I get good idk. I have a little racing blood in me. My uncle was a pro Gp racer in Europe. Please hit me hard. I want your true oppinion. Is it possible? Sure. There are plenty of racers that got started in their late teens. You could be successful at racing. But the fact that you're even considering a car makes me wonder if you have the passion needed to be a serious racer. To a racer the only use for a four wheeled vehicle is to haul bikes to the track. And the cars you're talking about don't have the room to haul a bike. So, possibly, racing is not for you. Which doesn't mean you should give up on riding. Just on racing. In the mean time work on getting good grades and getting through high school. Go to college so you can afford the bikes and cars that you want. Figure out how to use punctuation and spell check. And take some riding lessons before you buy a bike. your spelling is hurting my eyes!! get a steet bike some sort of craoch roket you get bike experience and the option to take it out on the streel like a car. alot of ppl will tel you it bad idea because it rains but if you start to ride yull love it and with rain gear you can ride in the rain and it add a new perspective to riding that is so awsome dont get a cruse because they will be hard for you to convet into a dirt bike if needed a croch rocket needs some light removal and new shooks and tires your in cept for some croche rockets with 1000cc engines they not so fun on dirt but a nice 600cc is awsome on dirt i know I always tell people to get the car first.It is a good dry ride to get you around in winter.That way you can always get to work.You are never too old or too young to follow your dreams.Don't give up.Good Luck. Nobody has a chance were all doomed. Matt , I have a 2nd cousin,who, in the early 50's when he entered high school had never held a basketball in his hands. 4 yrs. later he was given a scholarship to the University of Kentucky to play basketball. He was drafted by the pros but back then you could make as much money being a coach or working in a machine shop as a machinist so he declined the offer and became a teacher of science and a highschool basketball coach. You asked to be hit hard so here it goes,#1 the cars you mention are in the $32,000 - $40,000 range and at your age and being a male your insurance rates would equal your car payments and if your parents would not co-sign on the loan or insurance policy for you. and as a parent neither would I. Reason being if my Dad had put me in one of the muscle cars from the "60."s and early 70,s I would be dead today!! Now, how are you at riding these new BMX pedal bikes and have you tried riding over dirt courses with these pedal bikes.? As a parent I would help you get a 250cc-350cc dirt bike if you could at least pay for half of it. Oh Yea ,as far as being a pro that is where my cousin's story came into play. Have you checked out the go - cart scene lately? My neighbor's son has been racing these that run on alchohol and are a prerequisite to Nascar racing. After 2 yrs of racing here in Middletown O he became the track Champion at 14 yrs of age. As far as having a "little blood in ya" don't count for squat!!! Or else I would have went to the pros after having played in the SECC in college baketball. Remember ,you said "Hit Ya Hard" right?I had a Sears 50cc honda (a moped more or less) when I was 16 and got 2 of them that didn't run and a neighbor of mine was able to put one together for me and after a couple rides up and down the street he offered me twice what I had in the bike and I sold it($100) Now you are at a crossroad, should I go motocross or (forget the cars you mentioned) get a car ? Ever heard of "bracket racing"on the dragstrip? Talk about fun,You can take a 4 cyl Geo Metro and line up across from a Chevelle with a 396 eng and what they do is time the lights so that your est. time matches his estimated time so that both of you arrive at the end of the 1/4 mi dragstrip at the same time. Its whoever is able to "cut the light without redlighting taking off or busting out of the time ya got wrote on the windsheild wins ! You can run for trophies or run for money in your "time" bracket. When I was 21 yrs old I bought a Harley Superglide which weighed in at about 550 lbs and learned on it how to ride it(and if I had it to do over again I would never had bought such a big bike) Look ,There is a saying from the Bible, "Everything comes to those that wait" !! So if your parents won't let you get the bike ,in a few yrs you can get the bike on your own, OK ? Just my life's experiences and the fact I am still around to write them |
