Hey Lucky8,
You're motocross crosstraining is on the right track. A rider's fitness level can make the difference between winning or losing a long, hard race. Obviously, riding your dirtbike is the best form of practice for a race. However, most professional riders train in other sports, in addition to being on the track every day. If you aren't able to make it to a motocross track every day, crosstraining with other sports like, running, swimming, cycling or wakeboarding will help increase your cardiovascular endurance and overall fitness level. Crosstraining with a variety of sports will also prevent you from becoming bored with one activity and keep you mentally sharp.

Do you have a question on sports like hockey, football or skateboarding? Do you need some advice on fitness, P.E. class or health? to the Kidzworld Coach. Keep in mind peeps, the Kidzworld Coach isn't a doctor or a professional athlete or anything like that. He's just a dude who digs sports, plays 'em and knows a lot about 'em. You should always talk to your 'rents, a doctor or your school gym teacher before starting a new sport or a new exercise.
