where to practice
SO every time i go to the track i feel like i spend most of my time/energy getting comfortable on the bike and get tired by the time i actually start working on technique.
Does anyone have any ideas on where to practice riding just to get more time on the bike. the track is 90 miles away
Also riding around on the streets doesn't count, cant push it enough to get a feel for it. Does anyone have success convincing businesses to let them use their parking lots

Where are you from?
There's a badass shopping mall parking lot and I used to go there a lot at like 11pm... Really good spot, I mentally chawked down a track line... It was real fun

get some knobbly tires and hit the dirt bike track! i think a lot of people will agree that dirt riding is harder then street track riding. although their are some aspects of street track riding that is easier on the dirt.
all in all their are no speed limits on the dirt track, if u fall u minimize the chance of getting seriously hurt as the dirt gives a little more cushion then asphalt, and ur bike won't get too banged up if u fall!
the body positioning is similar in the dirt but not directly related, but i beleive u have a easier time learing to move from the dirt to the street then u do from the street to the dirt. so if u learn to ride fast in the dirt then u should have a particularly easy time transfering over to the street track.
plus i think the dirt track is a little cheaper per practice day then a street track!

Thats actually a really good call, however i wonder what the expenses are as far as the conversion goes.

a new set of rims run about $250 each for the dirt. hubs depending what u buy... if i go to my mx shop its about $600-$700 for a new set of rims front and back all laced up, then depending what knobblies u buy!
i would just buy a set of knobblies and do a tire change. takes like a hour to do both but thats not too bad! so hit the track the entire weekend, most mx tracks offer camping, at the dirt track and change ur tires before u leave! thats probably the cheapest but pretty time consuming
