      Locate the motocross circuit closest to you that suits your skill level. Do not attempt to ride a track that is too difficult for you.

      Call the motocross circuit center or visit their website to determine the track conditions. Outdoor tracks are subject to different ease of riding based on amount of rain fall and low temperatures. Before going to the track be sure the riding conditions are good, as most motocross circuits generally do not offer refunds or rain checks.

      Complete the necessary waivers and forms required by the motocross center and pay the requisite fee. Obtain or look at a map of the motocross circuit that you will be riding. Locate the closest entry point to where you are. Most motocross circuits have several entry points throughout the track where there are long stretches of flat surface so you can build up enough speed before going over obstacles.
