If your interested in any aspect of off road motocycling, then this is a definite 'Recomend!'. Full of excellent colour pics, to compliment the broad range of basic to advanced riding techniques. With the addition of 'Gary Semics - Absolute Techniques of Motocross' makes this title bang up to date, and good value for money.

Learn what your doing wrong - OVERNIGHT!!
22 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently went from high speed Hyabusa runs to the safer sport of dirt-bikes... Not wanting to look like a... asking the faster guys at the track what I was doing wrong (that would have earned a laugh and a lecture), I bought this book... It was exactly everything I was looking for... Since I've read this book (2 trips to the track), I am no longer waving faster riders by, I am the the faster rider... My riding is much more agressive, corners are 3 times faster, and overall control of the bike belongs to me now... If you race motocross, you may not get a whole lot from this (but I bet you will get something), however, if your in it for fun but you want a little more, this is an excellent book... I highly recommend this book...

Best off-road motorcycle book around
24 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My husband and I both ride... but he's the one who rides on the dirt as well as the road. He's been looking for a book like this for ages, and was elated when I presented it to him as a birthday gift. It's packed with information and pictures on off-road riding, which requires techinques that no-one seems to write about - but it's all here in this book. A must buy.

great read
8 Feb 2002
Format:Paperback
What a great book for improving your technique. i have had a motorcross monkey on my back since I was a kid. I love the way this book picks apart every crash that ever fed me dirt and tells you how to avoid or at least live through all those track devils ! I have improved my ability from the first time I got on my bike after going over the book all week. I still go back to it to fine tune my balance and try the techniques that the book teaches. Happy Riding
