Step 1
Become proficient in Motocross and Supercross competitions before attempting to train in Freestyle. The basic skills must be mastered before going further, since all FMX stunts will be based upon these.
-
Step 2
Train on an approved Freestyle track. FMX competition is made up of basic racing and acrobatic tricks performed from ramps that are designed to exact specifications so the rider will be able to compete on any track.
-
Step 3
Sign up for the preliminary qualifying round at a regional FMX tournament. You will be judged on your tricks and on the time it takes you to complete the course. You will receive points for your performance.
-
Step 4
Enter a professional FMX competition after you've earned enough points to boost your rating for qualification.
-
Step 1
Train as you would for traditional FMX, but concentrate more on perfecting your stunts as opposed to track time. Big Air competitions specialize in acrobatic stunts and do not judge on course completion time.
-
Step 2
Consider altering your bike to allow greater maneuverability in the air. Traditional seats are shaved down; lightweight after-market parts replace stock forks and frames to achieve the least amount of weight.
-
Step 3
Enter a Big Air Freestyle competition only after perfecting your tricks on an approved track. As in traditional FMX, it will be necessary to earn points and receive a qualifying rating before you will be allowed to compete in a professional-level tournament.
