    Good at what?

    I go as fast as I want to and I've never had a speeding ticket...

    are you guys more into gentle trail riding, or the more hard out stuff, or the MX end of things?

    horses for courses, there'd be people in Dirt Division that do it all. I even have an FMX ramp, still learning though. Have some pics in my CR125 album, can't remember the code to embed them in a post ....

    Good in comparison to what? I'm very proficient at having a fucking blast whenever i get on my dirtbike. As for skills, hmmmn, nothing too epic, i mean I don't think id be mfsc material

    Yep, my off-road motorcycle Postie job involves following a lot of muddy, gravelly trails. Do about 300 180 degree turns each day. Pretty skillful stuff on such crap bikes.

    Now thats got to be a typical carver question?? You need to get your head in a different place, you seem to always have a real issue about who's best or better.

    Firstly you will find few of us ready to blow our own trumpet because as soon as you start doin that you usually get freckin HURT.
    Usually the fast ones wait for the slower ones on trail rides etc. Secondly even in a race we help each other! Not much fun lyin out in the bush with your collar bone pokin through the skin or your knee pointing in the wrong direction. And I've never seen anyone ride past a fallen kid!

    But we have people posting here from Chris Birch (if you don't know that name you shouldn't even be posting here) to Danger, Ktm boy etc to Barty Rupe and others to beginners. Some into Enduro, Club and national MX and a few young fellas into FMX. All getting better every time they ride!
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    'Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out! Shouting, ' Holy sh!t... What a Ride!! '

    I just had a look at your profile page and have come to the conclusion that FMX is for you, (no rules, make it up as go) I'm sure someone on here can help you get started....
