From the very beginni ng, a rider should practice as muc h as possible wi th a fair ly good desert bike: Good suspension, bIg dir t tir es, a good air cleaner , desert bars, and pr oper gearing. When you 've got the equipment shaped UP, lake I t out In the desert. Prac tice ridIng the sandy trails and sandwashes until you get good at I t . Th e Idea l s to go fast enough to get on top of the sand and glide over th e top, with the front end light. Use body English to turn rather than by steering the f ront wheel, slart early Into the turn and go to the inside of the groove. Keep your fee t UP, except for a tight turn that you want to slide. It helps considerably to go traiUng wi th a good rider. Follow him and do what he does, as It I s alway s easier to show som eone then to tell hi m . Before r acing you should feel confident In the sandwashe s and be able to stand UP on the pegs to go fastin r ough boondocks, doi ng whe e l1e s over the bum ps. You should also hav e mastered the downhills . Never stop at the top to think about It j ust go down in l ow gear . Keep the bike going straight , and keep the r ear wheel turning slowly. Don' tlock up both brakes. 100 Feet Ahead The thing I n deser t racing i s to look a hundred fee t In f r ont of you . Get se t for the coming terri tory, plan the proper r pm ' s f or hi lls, the r i ght gears for j umps, etc . You' re not going to get there fast by looking down at y our front wheel, worrying about small r ocks. Plan your moves early so that you're smooth and properly prepared f or that big r ock . Now you' r e r eady for raci ng. Slart off with a good piece of equipment, U you've beaten -up your practice bike, get afresh one. A l ot of good, new riders have kept themse lves out of the trophies because of used, tir ed equi pment - then becom e ,. " 1. W ear long sl eeves or a ja cket because the bushes can cut you up. 2. Join a club. You need 4. Wear long boots to protect against friends In the desert. 3. Haye good brisk suspenslon scrat ches from bushes. May also saye you f rom a broken l eg. 5. A good air cleaner I s a must. 6. A fork brace Is good to have In case you go down. Otherwise you may twist your folits 7. Si gn up f or a Dlstrl cI number. On&oday pie plates fall off . 8.
