It really irritates me when clueless people say that motocross is easy and that all you do is sit down and twist the throttle... this vid is for those people, they can watch this and be silenced!

90% of motorcross difficulty with no room for error and a far harder landing if you mess a jump up

It really irritates me when clueless people say that deepthroat is easy and that all you do is sit down and ram your cock down some lassies throat, but not all girls can do it and sometimes it goes tragically wrong... this vid is for those people, they can watch this and be silenced! Proof that deepthroat blow jobs are not easy for some

I have been riding Motocross for a number of years now, getting on 12 years!

It is a VERY demanding sport and is not easy in the slightest, but obviously gets easier with experience.

I was thinking that.
Then I saw the replies on youtube.

However those who reply to youtube videos, on average, do seem to be around 1/4 the IQ of the average internet user.

Make's me laugh, A detailed study showed MX was the 2nd most physically draining sport.

You know whats easy? riding on the road.

I was pootling round the 'bom-hole' an old gravel pit on the farm one day on my trials bike. My Uncle was trying to fill it back in & a 30ft heap of rubble & top soil made a sort of mini mountain in the middle.

A bloke who had come up to see if he could rent one of the empty barns to keep his 'bikes' in turned up and was watching me for a while, his name was Howard, and apparently was a Schoolboy MX Champ in the Dave Thorpe era; he convinced another tennant of the 'units' to fix up an old KX440 he'd had lying at the back of the shed he used to stuff Rover V8's into any old scrapper that came along. When it was 'Done' he got Garry to go along to an Enduro with him, & Garry reported that at 'sign on' the CoC spotted his name and refused to let him enter as a 'Clubman' and put him in 'expert' instead, despite his protestations!

It was a baptism of fire for Garry... a KX440 is no 'easy' ride for a novice, but for a four hour 'event'? But even Howard with 20 years of MX experience behind him, was rather, shall we say 'flaked' by a four hour event.

Howard, after watching me 'rock-hopping' for a number of hours eventually came over and ashed to have a go....

He handed me the bike back after five minutes, having fallen off three times.

"THAT!" he said.... "Harder than it looks, innit?"

Dirt riding IS hard at a competative level, but different disciplines demand different things.

MX needs a lot of brute force and agression; physically its incredibly demanding, BUT it doesn't require a huge amount of stamina or fine control, in maybe three pell-mell fifteen minute heats of an event.

Trials, requires an utter 'control' and precision. MENTALLY its very demanding; and while you don't need such 'brute force' to wrestle the bike around, takes the sort of strength of a gymnast to hold and balence the bike; all your muscles not exerting such 'strength' to lift and move, but the more tiring tension of merely 'holding', and for a sustained duration; each 'section' may only be a few yards long, and only take a minute or so to ride, but the events are four hours or so long, takes quite a bit of stamina to sustain that exersion over an entire event.

Then we have Enduro; which isn't AS aggressive as MX, but still requires a lot of the strength, with technical sections chucked in, that demand some of the fine control of trials, as well as the stamina to maintain the exertion for an entire event.

NONE of them are 'easy'.

I remember the first day I ever spent on a motocross track... It was like nothing else I've ever done before, I was physically drained in every part of my body and it was several days before everything stopped aching and I could move again.

I never knew that every part of the body could ache so much Shocked

Although I'm strong, I lack the endurance that people have that do this or excercise regularly so I just wasn't used to it.


I used to do cyclo-cross, which is a mountain-bike version of mx through woods, forrests, fields, countryside etc. And races could last from a couple to 4 or more hours. That was EASY in comparison.


But it's still such an experience, worth the physical beating that you get Twisted Evil Thumbs Up

Cyclocross is more similar to a shorter enduro - though of course general cross country with harsher terrain is going to be a closer similarity.

Also, did you just jump into cyclocross, or work your way up from lots of normal cycling?
But then motocross and enduro does tend to be more of an all-body workout than similar cycling in my experience.

I did cyclocross from when i was in school so yeah in a way i worked up into it but even so, I'm hardly the epitome of fitness Laughing
