Totally Wild - Motocross

Motocross

Date:16/01/2009

Pip hits the trackside of motocross to catch up with two champs.

As well as getting up close with the animal world, here on the wild we also like to get into the extreme sports!

After shooting a story with two motocross champs and seeing the way they tore up the track I was inspired to give the sport a shot myself

So out to the track I ventured, looking the part in my awesome colour co-ordinated outfit, and much to my surprise I picked it up quickly! Accelerating, changing gears, cornering, even standing up… all so easy.

Until I had a little fall… or two! But nothing was going to stop me- I dusted myself off, checked the small graze on my elbow, and jumped back on the bike- as they say, the show must go on!

I had the best time ever learning how to ride (under professional instruction- so don't try this at home!!) and I'll definitely be jumping back on the bike soon.
