[mx400]

before i race i eat a couple of granola bars. wana stay light but get filled up on the track

Eat 2 bananas, take 2 tylenol and drink a gatorade, u'll be set

[blondie69]

Does it really matter what u eat? Or would ya keep to high energy stuff? cuz when i did track n field (i know completly diff thing but still.....) i drank lots of water and ate lots of carbs....is that similar to MX?

Like everyone is saying... eat some type of bread/pasta, take 2 asprin or advil or something to that effect and drink tons of water or gatorade and right after you race eat fruit and jello.... i know the pros drink pedealite or however you spell it

since racing is the 2nd most phyical sport.... (soccer being first)
your heart is working extreamly hard to circulate blood around the body. tylenol or advil (or any headache medicine) thin'ins (sp?)
your blood, which makes your heart not have to work as hard :)



-----------------------------------
eat lots of carbs and at least 8 8oz. cups of water the day befor

What are you smoking tants, Ever try boxing or wrestling.

[Ex_Rider43]

yeah I heard it also that racing ( motocross) is the 2nd toughest sport... that was dirtbikes but quads should be as hard i think but boxing is really hard also... wresling I dont think so but I never tried it so I cant say how hard it is.

[MXcutie]

Tants is right! it thins out your blood.... and reduces arm pump.... and yes it is 2nd to soccer for giving ou the most work out.... dont give me this wrestling crap.... i did stats for our wrestling team in HS and i swear some of those kids didnt give a f*** about training... I know alot of wrestlers that race and they say that they are outta shape once they hit the track :eek2: and the ones that dont race give you guys credit for goin out there and racing

I have wrestled, boxed, raced, played football, and ran track. Boxing and wrestling are by far the toughest, with racing after that. See where as soccer, alls you do is run, so once you get in shape, ur set. Where as wrestling, ur losong weight, beating ur self up every practice trying to get tougher and stay in condition. Its the longest 6 minutes ever. But racing does the same thing just on a smaller scale. But anyway just eat food and race, LOL

Well i wasnt one of those guys MXcutie;) Every sport is different. They all have different trainings and conditioning. But wrestling and boxing was by far the toughest.

[Got Huevos?]

Racing is far from the hardest sport just becuz u do it doesn't mean it is. Boxing abd Wrestling do come in second and unless u have did all 3 sports wrestling boxing and racing then u are not to say which is harder. and yes Soccer (which i'll never do) is the hardest.

[micah]

I would say eat something that you eat a lot....the last thing you need is to eat something you never eat and be running to a bathroom or not feeling well.

Racing is the second most physical sport?? Bwhahahah. Nope not really. I'll admit arm pump can be a ***** but besides that its easy and fun. I do Bjj and it is much more physical then racing. You have to be in better shape, have a stonger grip, and be mentally tougher....plus while you are tired your opponent is constantly trying to choke you or break your arm.

[Giz400ex]

Why not have a big ol'bowl of.............baked beans!!!! You might **** yourself but it will give you motivation to go faster to get the race over with and probably won't run outta gas, then head to the toilet.:D :D
