...Riders will often shave down the seat foam to give a wider range of motion and better grip on the seat. Steering stabilizers are also common, and help keep the front tire running straight when tricks requiring the rider to let go of the handle bars are performed. Many riders will also shorten the width of the handle bars, to make it easier to put the legs around the bars, like such tricks as the 'heelclicker' or 'rodeo'. Excess cables, such as brakes and clutch cables are usually redirected away from the bars, to avoid riders getting their boots caught on the bike. ...

And tyre form very differ, tyre form doesn't has groove, but shaped lines jut and distant, this form of last for scratch soil with high-speed. The engine that used not standard motorcross engine, but has very big capacity with many valve to get high performance. Of course motorcycle frame get into big renovation to accustoms engine magnitude.
Hill Climb
In trial motocross, motorcycle that used very differ, motorcycle has light load, thin seat, inclined disappear, and tyre detail kind not too distant, this form of appear because trials motorcycle done with jump the hindrance, like stones, river, and steep ledge.

The Different Types of Motocross Racing
Author: Lydia Quinn
Motocross and dirt bike racing is as popular as ever, all over the world. Let's take a look at the many different types of motocross racing that are popular these days :
Freestyle
Freestyle motocross is sometimes also known as FMX. The main difference between freestyle and regular motocross is that riders try to gain points from judges based upon tricks that they perform. Tricks may include the 360, backflip, underflip, frontflip, carolla, scorpion, tsunami and sidewinder, among dozens of other tricks. There's also different types of landings and take-offs. One handed, no handed, side saddle, you name it. Famous freestyle motocross riders include Carey Hart and Mike Metzger.
Supermoto
This type of motocross racing began in the 1970's as a fun side project for motocross racers. Supermoto is a type of race where motocross bikes that are meant to ride on dirt are modified so that they can compete on pavement, as well as dirt. The track for a Supermoto race consists of both dirt and pavement. The bikes must have special tires with specific types of grooves that can handle both pavement and dirt tracks during the same race.
Enduro
Enduro is a type of off-road race with different challenges and obstacles included. There's often several stages and the bikers race against the clock in a timed trial as well.
Trials Motocross
This is a more straightforward type of time trial race. Motocross bikers race on a dirt track and they are timed. So instead of tricks or jumps, the focus of the race is purely to get the best time or to beat the best time.
Hillclimb
A hill climb motocross event is exactly as it sounds. Riders must go up a hill and try to get the fastest time. In some cases, the race may be to see who gets the farthest up the hill in a certain amount of time. Hill climb motocross is also called hillclimbing.
Supercross
Generally, supercross is a term used to describe an event, usually taking place in a large stadium, fairgrounds or arena that has installed an artificial and temporary dirt track. The track would consist of jumps as well as obstacles. The type of motorcycle used is a very high performance, specially outfitted bike made specifically to handle the high jumps and sharp turns that are typical of the event. Recently, there have been events that used temporary tracks that were modified to take place in smaller arenas such as basketball and hockey arenas.
ATV Quad Motocross
This type of motocross is not for motorcycles but for ATV's or Quads, also called All Terrain Vehicles. The bike has four wheels and special frames and tires that are built for dirt racing.
Sidecarcross
This sport with a funny name is also called sidecar motocross. A sidecar is attached to the bike where a passenger will stand. The passengers job during the race is to provide a counterweight. The sport has declined in popularity in recent years, however.
Note from owner blog : Motocross development not get out of the history's process, above mentioned types are development from riders that wish for something that differ, because this motorcycle has superiority really differ from motorcycle usually.

In 1985, the U.S. Forest Service launched the Tread Lightly! program as a means of addressing concerns about the impacts from increasing numbers of visitors to the great outdoors for recreational purposes. In 1990, to maximize the program?s effectiveness, management responsibilities were transferred to the private sector, making Tread Lightly! an apolitical, nonprofit organization. Tread Lightly! is now the nation's signature ethics message for recreationists that use motorized and mechanized vehicles in their outdoor pursuits.
Tread Lightly! has become an ethical and educational force in bringing together and unifying a broad spectrum of stakeholders including agencies, industry, media, conservation and enthusiast groups, and concerned individuals who share a common goal—to find a balance between humans and nature. Our federal partners in spreading the message of responsible and ethical use of the outdoors include the National Park Service, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and the Army Corps of Engineers.

Glad people who ventures on, either in mount, at forest or at other place, must always aware risk exist in activity. Erudition and comprehension risk may be will be got to be a factor esensial in preparation and activity's execution at open-air. Risk everything may be appear, related to dangers that implied in activity execution.
In general, danger source can come from ourselves self (subjective danger) and come from environment (objective danger). Subjective danger for example carelessness, perfunctorily preparation, minimum erudition and others. Because in character such, so subjective danger this under mastery or admit of us control. Objective danger be danger that threaten from outside our self, arising out from environment, earthquake for example, flood, beast, and another.
Danger above be relative explanation in character. There that be danger for certain person but on the contrary be fun matter for another person. To be certain, for nature lover that dominate well techniques base alive at free nature are fun matter. Not such for common ones, may be activities at free nature be assumed can ill strarred. But, however ready it we are in face of various risk, a time may be we are forced face undesirable critical situation.
Situation like that be matter is not guessed. Lost food provisions temporary few days more has attenuated or sink and we are awash at ocean midst. Critical/marginal conditions like that can we classify as condition survival. Survival come from word survive, simply can be interpretted as efforts to defend alive.
Survival Skills
Survival skills or ability survive alive ability that can be used to help somebody for permanent can survive in dangerous situation that (like to quake earth) or dangerous location (likes desert, mount and or forest). This ability belongs manner makes fire, find or make protection, make water safe to drunk, find and identify food, cure wound or dispute with use device. Every different environment type will give challenge and different danger
The important defend alive (survival) related to critical condition appearance. Can be questioned here: What causes that critical condition appear? or equally "aspect" what shall we face in situation survival? In matters in reality that we shall face to base on condition spesification, lost for example at sand desert or at pole will show different aspects. But the other side, detectable certain samenesses existence in aspect that will appear in every condition.
In general, those aspects detachable in 3 groups:
Priority In Survival
In a condition to survive alive, there 5 (five) priorities that must be determined first time that is:
From several cases survival. There are some sameness that can influence success in overcome condition survival. Of course apart from God accomodation or good destiny. There three things that can be used to overcome survival. That is:
1. Spirit to defend alive
Oftentimes even there civilian to open-air faces danger in mortally the condition, but because strong the willing or linger, impressing he gets superlative strength to overcomes conditon. So. strong confidence to defends this alive is important authorized capital and dapa influence other authorized capital.
2. Self immediacy
Mean here one who has erudition and know-how that can anticipate dangers survival, land navigation for example, first aid, cordage, practise biology, science survival, field science and appraising, and others.
3. Supporter tool
Total and device kind that has also can influence success in survival. Survival without device anything with survival that has device of course differ. In case survival so use value a knife or axe far valuableer will be compared with credit card or polished diamond gold. So, device yes has at the (time) of survival will influence success and manner survival.
Basically to overcome weather with give protection in body, either from in also from outside. Protection forms that can be carried on:
A. Bivouac
Aim makes bivouac as pleasant shelter to protects our self from nature factors and extreme environment, that is: hot, cold, wet. Wind, beast and as it. As to condition that must be payed in make bivouac :
![]()
![]()
Don't too botch nature at vinicity.
B. Clothes
To hold back so that hot our body don't too much out, best we protect body with waterproof clothes and hold back cold.
C. Food
One of [the] supporting for body protection that come from within food. Wanted for calorie increase, give energy in muscle. and replaced cells or networks that broken. Food source can we obtain from plant and animal at area of around us.
D. Fire
Besides can warm up body. More important can increase psychological spirit. Somebody in a condition survival first time will choose to make fire before do other matters. Another fire function:
![]()
The Inharmony between the third will evoke smoke. Otherwise has flammable ingredient, must we lay a fire around us, that is:
![]()
E. Water
Very need to every life aspect and be priority in survival. If we are water deficit can cause dehydration (liquid deficit body's). This dehydration happens caused by evaporation process from body. Dehydration conditon that over do can also evoke death. From statistical is got; when does somebody not get water at all during 3 days so he threatened death. Manner overcome it us must drink enough (around 2 litre/day)s. When then water supply finished, so we must can to look for it.
Water classification in survival can we for on :
1. Water that drinkable direct. The condition not coloured and odourless. The example water from spring, river, lake, rain. Otherwise got water source. Can be looked for from plant that aqueous and bontoxic. Plant kind that aqueous:
3. Polluted water and want complex process so that can be drunk, the example are sulphur water, swamp waterwith water tall acidity level, water from factory waste and as it.
4. Polluted water but with simple process drinkable like: water that stagnate, muddy water, great river water and another.
Matter necessary payed if water is a problem critical. Don't consume anything. Because water not only worn to launch food passes intestines, but also soften and liquefy food. Chemical process between food and Intestines self want water.

- Which are positive mental attitude.
- Find or make protection that can to give to somebody for permanent can protected and permanent felt warm and dry.
- Human can linger during 3 (three) day without water. This matter relates to nature's condition with physically.
- Fire, help to give warmth, neutralize and make proper water at drinks, Intinidate wild animal, avoid mosquito and another insect and give sign to another human.

Titanium Husqvarna 400 Was A Motorcycle As Trick As They Got
.© 2009, Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum.
When Swedish MX star Lars Larsson lined up on this bike for the 1971 Indian Dunes motocross race in Southern California, his competition thought he was on a regular Husqvarna. He was instrumental in establishing Husqvarna in the U.S. and later went on to start Torsten Hallman Original Racewear, now known as Thor. But Larsson knew better. He was aboard one of the rarest machines in the history of American motocross: a 400cc Husqvarna with a frame made of titanium. And he used it to win both motos and dominate the Inter-AMA series support class that year.
He told them: Hallman Racing had commissioned Pro-Fab to make a small run of light, strong and expensive titanium frames to accept Husky engines. Other weight-saving tweaks included titanium fork crowns, handlebars and axles. The fenders and seat base were thin plastic, the gas tank was aluminum, and various parts—including the brake pedal and ignition cover—were drilled to lighten them further. The result weighed in at an amazing 189 pounds, or 25 pounds lighter than a comparable production Husqvarna. The machine helped Larsson win four of six rounds of the Inter-AMA motocross series.
Though legal when it was made, the frame was disallowed for the 1972 season by AMA officials, who feared titanium would escalate racing costs. As it turned out, Larsson didn’t need a trick bike to win. He went on to earn a gold medal at the 1971 International Six Days Trials, riding for the U.S. in Czechoslovakia, and he remained a top enduro rider through the ’70s. He was inducted into the Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2002.
His titanium Husky, refitted with a 250cc engine after the original 400cc motor was destroyed in a car crash, is on display as part of the Museum’s “Motocross America” exhibit. See also at Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum
