[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 7636, member: 40"] MX teaches you cornering, aggressivness and now the jumping. When i was a kid racing MX there were only natural jumps. The new stuff scares me, but i could probly learn it if I decided to work thru the fear. Take an MX guy to the dez and make him go up n down the hills or thru the rock pile and they melt. Some cant do it at all and never return to ride the dez again. An off road guy can get all around an MX track, even if he is slow and cant do doubles, but he can make it around. You definitely need to do both a few times to learn the skills the other doesnt teach you. Like starting an MX and into the first corner. Nothing like it for sure. Just as nothing like a dez start when its dusty and there are 200 bikes going at the same time. How many guys have you taken out to ride off road and they are telling you how good they are, etc, and they cant even keep up with the fast kids? Ive had it lots of times. My wife rides pretty good too. She humiliates the guys as she passes them up a gnarly trail where they have stalled or just goes over the edge of a downhill without stopping to look.
