i've just thought, am i screwed because i'm actually quite tall. 6 foot 2 or something, so is that gonan be a majopr problem of success? ive heard most riders are under 6 foot?

^ You sir, are the man. Everyone's been a great help. Cheers. Just ordered a silicon ball for finger strength. You say Wrist curls strengthen wrists? any other way? Cheers everyone. One more thing, any other way of building on leg strength?

in responce to the post with 'switch from one leg to both to the other' is it ok to put a hand down for balance or is balance a great part of this?

ooh excellent, the ball thing i havent tried yet but the leg squatting is taxing, ill keep at it and keep goin til i can do it more and more. At the gym, what are the best machines to use? ones with cardio programs built in to them?

alright, cool thanks thats helped

i had a look at the ron haslam site, and this seems to be a bit more organised and trustworthy. no-body seemed to answer my previous question, 'how physically fit do you need to be to race bikes'? thanks

Wow, thats pretty good, in the future you're gonna be even prouder of students from this school........ME!! Haha, anywho....

What is one of these? how is it different to a 1,2,3,4 day and a 1 to 1 tuition day?

I live in a place called Southwell, erm i guess thats in the middle haha. erm rockingham is 2 hours away? wicked thanks, i'll learn to driveso i can get there/inquire about track days, thanks for the help

sorry for the double post, but how physically fit do you have to be to race bikes?

thanks Keith, also, do you know of the closest race track to Nottinghamshire? i could get in contact with them and see if they do track days for 16yrs

right thats handy, ill look for the closest, and send them an email. thankyou

is there anybody from UK that you could direct me to to talk to? Would tracks that accept 16 year old let me race the track without a liscence, or will they train me up for that? please any information will be of use to me

i'm from nottinghamshire. the only close by track i can think of is Cadwell. is there an official site or something i could look at? many thanks

Erm hello I'm new here, i didn't know what board to post on so i chose a racing one as its racing related. Also this isn't a joke topic. i'm 16 years old and am very interested in a career in superbikes, well bike racing. i was wondering if it was too late to become this, as my friend Chris Walker started riding bikes when he was 4 i recall, and is now very successful in the World championship. if it's not too late is this the place to come? i've had very minimal experience with bikes, i have been motocrossing a couple of times and got on very well. i presume i will have to become 18 years old first, (but while im 16 is motocrossing the best way to get used to riding bikes?) and then get a liscence and go to a school of racing. any information to any of my questions from the instructors or administrators or whatever would be very helpful. thankyou
