Before I jumped into dirt riding I thought I'd better educate myself a bit and got this book. Compared to anything else out there it it loaded with good info. I like Semics has his little green quick "how too" or comment section on certain topics. So you can pick up the book and look at a couple of pages and not get bogged down in material. "Hey in sand you can go faster becuase as soon as you chop the throttle the sand helps stop you" quick and simple tricks like that all over this book. Things all you guys who've been ridin since you were 4 already know but for those of us whos mother would not let him ride until he got out of the house then this book may keep you from taking some soil samples needlessly.

I've been to many Motocross schools, had many instructors, and have read several books about the Best Sport on Earth.
This book not only has the best info, but it's laid out in such a way one can use it to keep improving their skills.
When you want to be a better rider, simply refer back to it!
Do you want to have more fun? Ride faster, more efficiently, and have more confidence? How about riding so that you look good (and don't crash)?
I recommend this book as indispensable.

This book has a lot of timeless tips about motocross racing and dirt bike riding with plenty of photos to walk the reader through the various techniques. I highly recommend that anyone new to this sport read the book cover to cover just to get well-grounded in the basics. There are some more advanced techniques covered, but this is primarily for the beginner to intermmediate rider. Some of the suggestions here will definitely lower your lap times.

If you're new to Motocross or just need some reminders this book is a great first step and reference. You'll never learn everything with a book in active sport like this, but it covers all the bases well. I take it to the track with me 'just in case' and it helps me with the right language to explain things to my kids. - And it's heavy enough to hit yourself in the head when do something foolish.

Excellent book, full of step-by-step illustrations, and tips from Gary Semics. I really love this book. Never found any other like this on the market. I wish this book could be translated in Spanish, for most of my fellows in Argentina who can't read English. I offer myself for the job!!! This book is a must for every MX rider.

Haven't finished reading the entire book, but so far it gives you some good advices on body positioning, braking and cornering... I do think this book needs an update. The bikes and gear that are shown are starting to look outdated. But aside from that, the how, the do's and don'ts of motocross are the same, so enjoy the good tips and ride on!

Got this book for about $4.00. Very informative, have been riding ten years and I still learned some things.

I received this product in a timely manner and in good condition. Everything worked out great.
