Whats the best gopro camera to buy for a sport quad rider?
the GoPro Hero 2 motorsports package will have everything you need for mounting it to your helmet. I use the Curved adhesive mounts on the top and side of my helmet depending on where i ride. i highly advise that you put it on the side if your riding in wooded areas because limbs can grab your camera and take it right off. The model below it (GoPro 1080 HD motorsports package) is also a good camera but won't have as many options. I'd go with the $300 Hero 2 if it were me though. Its more than worth it when your back at home leaning, jumping, and twitching in front of your computer as if you were still riding. I LOVE mine, its worth every penny spent.
I am pretty good at MX vs ATV and seem to do the best with a 450?
So by your theory it would seem that all pro riders should be fantastic at mx vs atv. hate to have to tell you but have had several of said pros staying at my place over the past few weeks and most of them suck at those types of games and one of them is his countries sx and mx champion. One of the others is top 5 in his country so it just doesn't work that way. First you need to state how old you are as age is important when getting a bike especially if you are only a teenager. For someone with no experience you don't need upgrades other than perhaps your suspension as you won't need them and a worked motor is only useful if you can use the power, otherwise it just makes a beginners life harder. I am afraid you are living in a bit of a dream/game fantasy at present. If only life was so easy No bike makes a person win races only talent can do that and no one gets on a bike and just starts winning even in C class. Maybe at 25 you could start on a 450f but you would do better on a 250f till you found your way as the competition in the open class will no doubt be tougher even in C class. I would be very surprised if at the age you are you manage to turn pro as in two years time you would be starting to head towards the later end of a racing career if you happened to be a pro and many of them don't make it past 30 and still be competitive. Unfortunately you are being very unrealistic and should be looking to ride for fun. You may be offended by this but frankly for someone who at 25 believes that they can be really fantastic on a mx bike simply by the fact that they play games well is not really in this reality. If you really still want a 450f just google shoot outs for the model you are looking at, but the kx450f has had very nice reviews and the guys seem to really like the bike. Edit: Sorry to have to shoot you down again but for someone with no experience at all a 2 stroke 250 would be a very bad choice. They are a difficult bike to race well for even those who are very experienced riders. They are also very tiring to ride for longer races and not a bike suited to a beginner at all and yes you would have to mix the fuel.
2011 Arctic Cat Mud Pro 700?
the mud pro is exactly what it sounds its a proffesional built mud machine,to be honest they are a pain in trail riding or any fast riding as the top mount radiator and high suspension make them wana tip over easy,BUT!!!if you wana cross that creek or mud bug that none of your buddys polaris or w.e. 4x4's cant do then YES you will have the machine to GIT R DONE,
How fast does a 110cc ATV go? What are some ways to make it faster?
Not sure how fast it goes, but i sure as hell know how to make it go faster. Assuming it’s a 2 stroke(doesn’t matter if it’s a 4 either), you can do a lot to those little engines. My first engine was a 25cc weed whacker with only 3/4 of a horsepower. It now puts out over 4 horses. First thing you can try is higher grade fuel, but do it in moderation. example: 85 to 87, not just straight to 93. Do it in increments to make sure it won’t blow up right away. This next one may sound crazy so bear with me here: alcohol injection and a fan for forced induction. More airflow and more combustibles means way more power. I used a mattress inflator actually for an electronic supercharger on the 25cc with isopropyl alcohol. Then try porting the head(s), and taking the exhaust system out. I even tried making my own, but now it just doesn’t even have headers- straight piping at its finest. Then try weight reduction to the body- take off useless parts. Then maybe try new shocks to help it absorb bumps better and go faster offroad. Or new tires/wheels. They say tires are the most important upgrade a wheeled machine can have, it completely changes the handling characteristics. Also a new clutch and different gearing can work too if possible. A Larger CFM carburetor wouldn’t hurt either. But note that this all depends on if they make the performance parts or not, so be prepared to redneck the crap out of it as you may end up having to if you want real performance.

What's there to do in the US if you live in one of the more boring states such as Minnesota, Iowa, Idaho or Maine?
.FREEDOM OF CHOICE!In Iowa there are not any Major League Pro teams. That leaves the whole state open for it’s citizens to choose which “Out of State pro teams” they want to root for.In the NFL there are the local choices of the Vikings, Packers, Bears, Chiefs, and at one time the teams from St Louis.In the MLB, there are the Twins, Brewers, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, and Royals.<< A side story: In the late 50’s the White Sox were playing the LA Dodgers in the World Series. A “Banner of Support” was place in the hallway of the school for students to sign.In Iowa, the White Sox were the geographic local favorite, but the White Sox banner was already completely full of signatures…so I signed the Dodger banner. The Dodgers won that series, and then two mote times before I graduated from high school. The White Sox next World Series game would take place 46 years down the road.>>Many Iowans are also rabid fans of Iowa’s two largest state universities. The University of Iowa, where the “ANF” sticker on football helmets stands for “America Needs Farmers”, and Iowa State University, (the agriculture, land grant university) where the retort to U of Iowa is “ISU—-We Actually Help Farmers”.Iowans are good people. I imagine the people of Idaho and Maine are good people too.I cant’s say the same about the people from Minnesota. Oh don’t think too much is wrong with Minnesotans…we share a border and have to put up with them because we haven’t got the federal government funding for a border wall yet. Yes…Iowans and Minnesotans like to rib each other. We do have a sense of humor.Iowa State Parks are scattered around the state—-and there is no entry fee—-even for out of state visitors…unlike the fees one might find in Wisconsin state parks.Keep an open mind … and read ALL of Carolyn Salano’s post. There has to be something that will peak your interest in IOWA!
What is the best motocross bike for woods riding?
I prefer a CRF250x for the woods, (if you can get past the machismo syndrome of wanting to always ride a 450 which we all have). I love a 450 in the desert or on the track but honestly there is nothing more fun on tight woods single track trails than a 250 4-stroke. They are light weight, they make quick turns, you can muscle them around, and they have plenty of high RPM power. (I'm 200 lbs) The 450s may walk away from you a little on the fire roads, but you'll reel them in quickly and pass them on the trail every time. The bonus of the CRFx series over converting a track bike is that they come stock with an electric start AND kick-starter, a headlamp, super quiet FS legal exhaust, and a kickstand... all of which are features that can be appreciated while hopping logs and navigating tight switchbacks near dusk in bigfoot country. ;)
What are the pros and cons of changing the stock air filter in my bike? Will it also improve the fuel efficiency?
Most bikes come from the factory on the lean side. Meaning, the manufacturers dial back the bike's use of fuel. Some of this is for fuel economy, but mostly it's to meet emissions and sound regulations.The basic premise of an engine is to bring in air & fuel, burn it, then spew out the exhaust. This process needs to be a fine tuned system. For instance, if you were to seriously open up your intake, your bike would probably run like crap. What was already lean, is now leaner. You didn't also increase fuel.Let's say you opened up your intake AND fuel, it would still run like crap because the stock exhaust couldn't handle the increase from the pre-burn side.Bottom line is, if you're looking for a performance increase, you will need to touch all points. More air, more fuel, free flowing exhaust. And only as much as the cylinder can handle. As another mentioned, this will increase sound and emissions, in addition to power. The manufacturers made a trade off, you will need to as well.Now ... a K&N, despite the marketing hype, isn't going to do much power wise. You'd need a dyno to see the slight uptick. And it isn't going to let in so much more air that the balance of air/fuel will be noticeably affected. So, what's the pro? Well, they're re-usable. Clean 'em, oil 'em, stick 'em back in. You won't be throwing away filters any more. If you're riding offroad, they will flow better, even with dirt and dust. And they're easy to clean on trail side.Another pro is that you will hear a slight increase in sound (if that's your thing), but it won't be that noticeable. Carb'ed engines may make a whistling sound with more air flowing. FE engines might be just a tad louder from the air flow. But it won't be anything you'd beat your chest over.Personally, I've had them. Liked them. Not sure the cost is worth it. On my KLR, I have the stock foam filter, which is also cleanable. So going the K&N route isn't really necessary. And there aren't any more ponies to be had from the engine, so I'm not even thinking of searching for increased performance.HTH
How much does a top 10 professional motocross racer make in a year?
I agree with what Scott said below and would just like to elaborate a little. Yes, those guys do make that much and even the average pro does make a decent salary. Here is the caveat to all that - most of them have been riding since they were young. Like James Stewart - riding since the age of 9. Yes that is 1 year before double digit age. The other thing I want to mention is that only about 1000 riders qualify each year. So you must be in the top 1000 to even be considered a pro and of those only about 25% make a full time salary racing.
