Default Sick motocross=Better SS riders?

I use to race 125B and 250b class at all over FL,i stoped cause i didnt have the support and $ to go pro.I been ridden street for 2 years -10 months(fucking jail time)I think from going to dirt to street was very easy since my motocross exp.I have very good throttle control,clutch control and saveing crashes control(looseing traction in corners,geten sideways etc)I find it very easy to do wheelies,stoppies,and carve thoses corners.I ride my 600 likes it a 125 compared to motocross,keeping good momentum,and always have it on the pipe since it aint got the tq of the 1000s aka 250s in motcross.I only been smoked in the twisties by like 4 people(it was at night i ride more carefully at night).What do yall think?

Your experience is in line with mine. I have significantly less time on a dirtbike than you do, but I believe that the lessons learned, especially when it comes to comfort with having the bike losing traction, are invaluable.

I did the exact same except I rode 250 C class. I stopped as I was going to move to the B class the next season. DId you do the FL State Sunshine Series? If so we were probably seeing each other every Sunday. HAHA, small world. And yes I agree any two wheel experience is better than NONE. You learn a LOT from riding dirt but it is still a whole new environment when you straddle a street bike.
