go to www.neatv-mx.com. That will tell you all the classes. If you have not gotten a quad yet, I suggest a 400ex. green river has them advertised right now for 4,650.

hows the 2 stroke class? i just traded my 400 for a 250r and i plan on racing next year. all i have to go on is a practice day with a guy from 4-stroke novice at a local practice track and he was faster than me but he knew the track and it was only my 3rd time riding mx.

I recommend the 4stroke.

The 2 stroke class is VERY competitive. For Southwick your gonna want a lot of power to pull you through the soft sand. I would suggest a modified 400EX or a Cannondale if it' in your price range. Also a lil trick is to not run and skid plates on that track so there will be less drag cause towards the end of the day all there is is ruts.

I had one of the most tricked out 400ex's in the novice class and let me tell ya the only one that came close to my speed was redrizza :cool: and in all honesty all you need to win the 4 stroke novice class is a big set of coconuts and a stock 400ex i know from experience just ask the neatv-mx 4 stroke novice champ he'll tell ya:mad:

:o Thanks man, I never saw this thread till now. Hows the CRF ride?

Southwick is all about physical conditioning. The guy who won Novice last year was on what appeared to be a stock quad. I know mine is widened and I have front shocks, but other than that, it's stock. Mostly, just go out, have fun and don't get hurt. Good luck

Thats the Key :)

That and leave your skidplates home ;)

All the guys in the NEXTV MX are great to talk to and will help any way they can :cool:


Read this might be of some help.
