Who rides dirt?

Been thinking about getting a dual sport bike, might move to colorado. I have been told there are plenty of places to ride there.

I love mine just never get to ride it around here...KC sucks like that. I'll probably keep it through Tennessee then sell it when I get back. Or right before I leave

For my first post I will chime in on the dirt bike thread!

I have been riding dirt since birth and street since I was 18.

The benefit of dirt riding is that you can take a no Sh!t big get off, bounce up and keep on with you riding day. Oddly enough, MANY of the skills you use on the asphalt directly translate to the dirt (think weight/body position, relaxed arms, line choice, vision). And not to mention that if you are used to you tires getting loose and squirelly on the dirt when it happens on the asphalt your butth@le doesn't pucker up nearly as bad.

MANY pro street racers train off road. Still more got there start there (think Hayden).

And the clincher....It is a lot easy to get your fix on wooded single track where you don't have to worry about the "Bubba Brigade" (cops) around every corner like you have to in most places in California.

Just my first $.02 on this forum!

I've been riding dirt since I started 16 years ago. I don't race mx anymore but I still love hitting the trails.
