Editorial Reviews:

With millions of participants worldwide, motocross and off-road motorcycle riding are the most popular amateur motorsports in the worldâ?"and, many agree, the most physically demanding. For a sport that asks so much of so many, a training manual is a mustâ?"and this one is the very first to make the necessary know-how accessible to the amateur rider. While providing sound advice for the would-be Ricky Carmichael of tomorrow, this handbook offers a no-nonsense, real-world approach that the average racer or rider can understandâ?"and turn into real results.

Among the topics the book covers are: weight training and proper nutrition in a fast-food world; age-specific training programs; gear; scheduling; staying hydrated, healthy, and injury-free: keeping a log; cross-training; balance, reflexes, and flexibilityâ?"and how to improve all three; race-day warm-ups and stretches; arm pump and how to train it out of your system; taking it to the next levelâ?"for the would-be pro riders; trainers, gyms, online, and published guidance; and staying motivated and avoiding burnout.

2 out of 5 stars Just the basics

I was a little disappointed by the content of this training manual. The author assumes zero previous health and fitness knowledge, and consequently rehearses the basic priciples most of us learned in fifth grade gym class.
I expect most racers who are serious enough to buy a specialized training guide are looking for motocross-specific exercises and training routines. Instead we get running, pushups, and a reminder that junk food is not good for us. Also the writer repeats himself a lot, and his overused metaphors are not funny.

3 out of 5 stars NOT THE BEST

ALTHOUGH IT IS A GOOD BOOK, IT SHOULD BE NAMED DIFERENTLY. IS MORE ABOUT HOW TO BE FIT AND HOW TO TRAIN YOUR BODY FOR MOTOCROSS

5 out of 5 stars great book

Great book. No games. to the point and easy to follow. It also happens to be the only current book out there. Other than this I have had to look up old Husky manuals, Brad lackeys book, Ake jonsons the technique of motocross , among others that are 20-30yrs old. It is great that the only book out there is pretty good. Like all training books the real test is if you really do what is prescribed.

4 out of 5 stars Get fit for your next race

A very good book if you follow the directions in here...
