Dirt Bike Events and Races

It's all about the effervescence of heart-stopping motion. Motor racing and motocross rally have gained massive popularity. Today, they give spectators the basketball of enjoying great delegated pleasure. The friction within the wheels, the splinters flying in all possible directions and a follower getting close on the leader in the dying lap of the race; all this makes for amazing artistry, one that is enough to put the watching public in awe.

Dirt bike events and races are generally held in off-road circuits. The thrill is enhanced by the challenging terrains. Actually, dirt bike events can assume two great avatars. It can be either a motocross racing or a super cross racing. Now motocross racing is stretched over nearly a two-mile course and off-road challenges turns them into a nice tussle. Having said this, the natural obstacles do not pose a very huge hindrance. This is why man-made challenges are being made for the purpose of racing. A lot of dirt is accumulated and tracks are made from the dirt. Such surfaces can be really slithery and need exquisite basketball to be negotiated.

On the contrary, the tracks for super cross racing are built in indoor stadiums, these are not very large. To add to the steepness of the battle, these courses are also augmented with dirt tracks. Less number of riders, almost twenty of them participate and most of them do not cross past the line of finish intact.

It is quite understandable that dirt can be most difficult factor for the wheels. This is precisely why slime-filled mud yards in rainy season are not suited for riding bikes. The popularity of dirt bike events and racing has increased manifold because it marries the thrill of speed with the tenacity of off-road terrains. Spectators automatically get this dual fun.

Medical facts- Because it is essential to control a nearly 200 pound vehicle at a high-speed over torturing roads, the heart rate of dirt track racers go up to 190 beats per minute and more generally it remains so for not less than 35 minutes. This is why their heart capacity and adrenalin levels are tested prior to their enrollment into the genre of racing.

Pit bikes are small dirt bikes. Their engines are bored-out to perfect displacement and their air boxes are removed. Both of these aim to give a higher leverage to the engine capacity.

Cooperation - The Vital Partner of Competition in Team Sports

In our never-ending desire to make our Players Competitive we often forget that the essence of the teams operation is Cooperation (often called Teamwork). Sometimes the message gets heard incorrectly and we end up with a player who thinks the game revolves around him the game is the stage and he is the star actor.

In my writings on different egocentric players, I have been calling him Benny the Braggart. (Yes, there also is a Betty the Braggart) We make the usual pronouncement, There is no I in Team, but Benny still believes that there is M and E in team. All of us have had to deal with that self-centered player who is quick to remind us about the great plays hes made. In dealing with him, direct talk usually doesnt get the job done, so lets come at it from another direction. During some team meetings its a good idea to talk to your players about how each of them contributes to the teams successes.

Coach Hudson took advantage of the opportunity during the last football game. Benny made a big interception which helped your team get back into the game and eventually win. As they head for the locker room after the game, he isnt letting anybody forget what he did how he dragged the team from the jaws of defeat.

Ah, but Coach Hudson is ready to deal with this issue. Lets listen in on his postgame commentary:

Coach: Well, we pulled that one out of the fire. You basketball played a great game -- you hung in there until we were able to make some breaks. Let's take a look at a real turning point -- that interception early in the 4th quarter. Who made that interception?

Everyone looks at Benny who has no trouble smiling, waiting for the accolades. However...

Coach: Sandy, what did you do on that play?

Sandy: I got around my blocker and put some pressure on the quarterback.

Coach: Gary, how about you?

Gary: I shut down the tight end -- he never got into his pattern.

Coach: Loren?

Loren: I broke through up the middle and kept the quarterback from stepping up into the pocket.

Coach: Zach?

Zach: Brett and I had the split end covered.

Coach: O.K. and we had the center of the basketball covered by some of you other backs. O.K., Bobby, where were you?

Bobby: The quarterback got away from Sandy and came my way. I got a piece of his jersey. He pulled away but he saw me coming back to get him again. He just get the pass off.

Coach: Benny?

Benny: The pass was short and wobbly. I stepped in front of the wide receiver and caught the ball.

Coach: And you made a good run back with it. O.K. Let's answer my question now.

Who intercepted that pass?

Sam: It sure looks like a lot of guys did a lot of good work.

Coach: That's right. That is what we call teamwork. We all do our job right and good things happen. The real mark of champions is that they all do their job as well as they can and nobody worries about who gets the credit.

(Notice that Coach Hudson gave Benny creditfor what he did. He deserved it -- He earned it.)

We coaches have to keep improving on our communication skills and on our child development knowledge. Being a My Way or the Highway leader may have worked in the past (It worked temporarily at best) but it doesnt work at all any more. Mutual respect is kind of a good idea along with honest interaction and communication.
