Not all tracks require nerf bars, but it's recommended. Get a Pro-Design tether switch. Any protective gear you get is a plus. Boots, chest protector, gloves.

Good luck, and be safe! See you at the track! ;)

I've run Switchback, Challenger several years ago, and a couple fairs. I'll run some harescrambles and a couple GNCCs next year. Proably hit a couple fair arena cross, maybe Westmoreland. I'd like to get some flat track in, too. I usually run the Butler Fair flat track, and Blanket Hill in Kittanning started running quads again.

A good thing to remember is to be PATIENT!

Learn the tracks, take your time, do not ride over your head....with practice you will only get better!

Wear as much protective gear as you can....there are only 3 types of riders...those that have crashed, those that will crash, and those that will crash again.

Good luck and be safe.
