OK, so you are sick of roads full of
traffic or you've ridden round every roundabout within
a 50 mile radius, so what can you do? Get yourself
off the road and onto the dirt. Offroad motorcycling
offers some of the toughest and most enjoyable sport
you can get on a budget.
As with all our sections you can
take the option of either looking into how you get
started or if you already know what your doing
you can browse all the other stuff we've gathered
together on riding motorbike off-road. The getting
started section is sub-divided into the various disciplines
available to the offroad rider, namely motocross,
enduro, trials, trail and grasstrack!

| A
word of warning |
| A few years back myself
and our esteemed editor found ourselves with some extra
cash and too few brain cells. Whilst debating what to
do with the cash we came up with the idea of buying
some motocross bikes. Simple, pick up a couple of bikes
for £500 each and we're off...The editor, being
a man of steel insisted that we get 250cc bikes, 125cc
bikes were for teenagers and women. To cut a long story
short, the editor still can't remember the day we took
the bikes to the track, having wiped out big-time and
suffering concussion and losing the top of a finger.
Remember, 10 year old kids make this stuff look easy,
but they've been doing it for years and basic physics
mean that 6 stone hitting dirt doesn't hurt as much
as a podgy 30 something with a calcified skeleton... |

| What you'll find if you
take to the dirt is that it will open your eyes. Forget
the fact that you can ride a fireblade round a hairpin
at 120mph, this stuff will make you weep with pain and
pleasure at the same time. When you drop your bike for
the 20th time in a day you won't know whether to laugh
or cry, but at the end of the day you'll have had a
great laugh for minimal outlay...our kind of fun. |
