when you hit the banks you want to go at them near the top you don't want to cut through it otherwise you lose speed you want to stay near the top throughout the turn

when i raced i used to do that all the time until a pro came to my local track and did a little camp type thing it helped me a lot.

 

[OwenP.]

i know that but on that track the burms are really messed up and what you didnt see was the kid to the right forced me down, i was also trying to go under and push him up

[OwenP.]

Are the GT race bikes any good?

What do you ride? It looks really nice. Redline?

EDIT: Any recommended psi for tires? I got a dirt BMX so I'm just gonna get into racing it at my unused local track.

Just outta curiosity, which one of these is better?

They're all a similar price, I won't really be getting one for a while though, I'm just wondering.

 

[RiccardoM]

EDIT: sorry for dub.

 

[OwenP.]

gt is alright and yes i have the redline carbon frame. Go with whatever psi your tire tells you to with. I wouldnt get any of those bikes in the link except for the gt but these are better and cheaper somewhat

I quite like the MX20. I don't want a really really good one, just a starter really. It'll probably be the GT.

I think these seem good, I shan't be getting one for a while though cos I'm just gonna try and get into racing and if I like it then I'll carry on. I just need it to stop raining.

 

[OwenP.]

i would get a proline out of all of those
