      He doesn’t need it though. Like he said, “I don’t know what I’m doing”. And he doesn’t need to leave off the hand guards for anyone else to know it. Not knocking it either. Racing is hard.
      GNCC races can be done on moto bikes. It’s not hard enduro. Skill will account for %90 of where he ends up in the pack. Any lightweight moto bike will work.
      After that maybe the quarter second advantage of the fast battery crank will help.😂
      Glad he’s racing, cause it’s fun, but accounting any if this whatsoever to equipment is just silly.

    My first local hare scramble turned into a National Hare and Hound event between the time I signed up and the race came. So the track went from 22 mile lap of moderate terrain of washes, ridge lines, and roads, to 25 mile laps of gnarly ridges, canyons, hill climbs, and super fast whooped out roads...fun but brutal..

    Off-road is definitely a blast. Did moto for several years then took a break away from it unfortunately, but when I got back into it I got into doing harescrambles. Absolutely loved it. Loved how I was out there for a long period of time instead of the hurry up get to practice, do a couple laps, then sit, then hurry for 1st moto, then sit, etc. also love the unknown for some reason on the first lap. In moto you walk the track. Not on off-road. Definitely learning how to not wear yourself out right away is key. Come up to New Jersey and do some harescrambles and enduros with the lafferty boys. They will give you some good lessons.

    That’s awesome love watching your content. All off-road racing is a different breed, the riders and fans are more like a fraternity of the sport. I’ve been riding and racing since I was 6 and I cherish my younger days when my parents let me have fun and travel from minis to big bore…it’s a cool race environment. My all time struggle was Big Buck in SC when is was muddy as hell. Being 13 years old on a KX100 jumping a big river gap into muddy roots was something I don’t know how I came out with no injuries every year. Lol
    Enjoy the people and culture, it will help you release and get back to just having fun.

    If you’re wanting to set up the 250 SX for woods, look into XCGear for pegs, clamps and about anything off-road. Also, for the hands, try a different compound grip to lesson the damage you do to them during a race. Hope this helps you in anyway.

    It's amazing how this could be the video for my ftr experience as a moto guy. Literally word for word man. Multiple crashes on the first lap then none after that once I figured it out. Passing a bunch of guys only to have them pass me back over and over. I finally got a KTM 300XC and trust me when I say this... Ride that bike if you can and it will have you hooked on woods racing. I did mine on a 450 and it was hell in comparison.

    After my first 2hr race my wrists and hands were crying. haha. I was on a stock suspension Cr250 with an overbored, ported, and milled motor. I immediately had my suspension revalved and got a flywheel weight. I felt like it was trying to kill me the entire time. haha. Also, speaking of berms and tight turns in the woods, a lot of the pro woods guys will actually use trees on tight turns...theyll slide the back tire into a corner and use tree trunks to stop the back tire and shoot off of it. Kind of a scary concept at first. haha. The people and community around these races is unparalleled! Everyone is so friendly and helpful.
