RE: My first rally in four seasons #3

in #sports8 years ago

Great post @ssekulji!
This is the side of Motorsport most people don't even think about!
Most think you just turn up to a field, track, rally stage and go for it :)

For #motocross, a day usually starts from 7am (practice starts at 10am) with getting your bike scrutineered for faults, also your safety equipment needs to be ACU legal (also checked) . Then when you have your licence and papers to sign on for the practice you can go and get your bike prepped. After this you need to complete all practice laps to show that both yourself and your equipment are safe to enter the main heats.

Interesting to see your side of the sport :)

thanks, @boy2k!
i really like your #motocross stuff but it's more dangerous in my opinion.
four wheels are four wheels and there's also roll cage :)
sponsorship is always a problem and without finance there's no 'road romance' - that's what i always say :)

Hah! well in some respects it can be more dangerous yes... but you guys do it faster lol


Either way i think we can both say it takes a certain person and a lot of dedication to be good!

hahahah, that's why i have speed numbers turned off in my car. other way, when you see 160km/h on some gravel road, your pants can go wet quickly

I also agree without sponsorship its very HARD!

unfortunately :P
