I know this isnt some MX helpline or somthing but im going practice track on sunday but its going to be wet on the track since there is going to be lots of rain tonight and tomorrow.

Does anything change (as in taking the bend differently than when its dry) or do i do exactly the same??
Also when i break how do i stop the bike moving around

Everything is different.


You'll have less grip, so brake easier, and don't lean it over and hammer on it. Give it gas really gently. If it's a full on mudder, just focus on keeping your feet on the footpegs, and stand up on straights and ruts. Corners is usually whatever works for each one, can't really say.

Pinch with your legs. Squeeze in as hard as you can to keep the bike underneath you. If the insides of your knees aren't raw after a day of riding you're not pinching hard enough.

I love ride on mud offcourse its much more hard because you less all your grip on your tires aswell with your foots on the bike and i think the first rule would do not crash because after you crash you get all your hards load of mud and its a piece of crap
Yeah aabout the breaks go easier on them and try not put your foot on the ground and have fun ohhh i forgot good luck haha last time i crashed 3times and my daddy almost ate my ass haha he was very angry with me

Its best to be in first gear all over the track. then you can throw lots of roost. dont use tear offs. always whipe your goggles with your gloves so it gets on the grips. And use lots of front brake and never put your foot out

Best way to ride mud, is always be in 5th gear, all front brake, (pull it in really hard, for more traction) , like jones said, never take your feet off the pegs.
