I don't actually compete and i don't know if i ever will (new to the sport, had to find somthing i could afford to do in college, oh and loving it) but i'm just here to say that this sport is sooooo cheap...i'm actually getting really sick of people saying how "expensive" it is. I have raced motocross most of my life and would just like to say that i would normally race an entire circuit 10-12 races in the summer and catch a few winter races (I live in colorado) but i would always figure on atleast spending $250 dollars a weekend, not including parts, i've destroyed up too $1000 IN ONE RACE, that would build most people an entire plane. so don't get too excited about the costs it is a very inexpensive sport (oh and i used to work 2 jobs just to fuel my addiction to racing). cough up the 50 dollars, you wouldn't even be allowed inside a dirtbike race for this.....
