Honestly the best thing you can do it get used to your machine and get as much track time as possibly. Twister has open track days on tuesday, go to every one you can make it to. The better you get with your machine and the more comfortable you are with the track the less energy you will use getting around the track. Case every jump and get out of rythm and your gonna be dogging it, but hit all the sweets spots and you’ll be much faster and use less energy as well. > > Just my 2 cents, from a guy who races atv I know everything you said lol. I raced quads for 5 years and won 3rd place overall for two years straight in quad Am at royal mountain. Got promoted to expert and broke my wrist and havent raced since. I am asking about what activities to do, outside of riding. Riding only does so much, and every track is different. I might be able to go 6 all out laps at royal, but only 3 all out laps at hickory hill. as far as twister, I wont ride there. One of my good race buddys is paralyzed from the waist down from that track. what class do you race at royal? --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/meatheads-and-mx-riders-few-questions/256618)._
