age limititations?

[400exridin121]

what are the age limitations for entering races, would i be able to compete in the 400cc class even though I'm 14?

all depends where ur racing. some places that are non ama/atva will let you. but all atva/ama places, you HAVE TO BE 16 or older on anything above a 90cc, but if they have a youth production class you can be 14 and be on a 300ex max.

True, but the majority of 30 year olds have a much higher maturity level as compared to a 10 year old.

yeah but still i am 15 and can man handle anything but you get a weird look whne you and your dad are looking at 450s and they ask if it is for my dad and he says nope it for him ya know it does not matter on your age it matters on you skill

I think the whole thing is retarded as well. I just don't understand how they don't care about dirtbikes and what age you are, but they honestly expect a 15 yr old to ride/race a 90cc quad? LOL. Give me a break. That hilarious, 15 year olds racing with 5 year olds.

yeah i am a huge 15 year old and i would look like a elephant on a baby bicycle
