I would think of myself as a Pick-up truck. Rugged, tough, good for the long haul and dependable.

I would say your best bet is to approach a potential sponsor but have all the details of your team to hand results ages experience bikes and i mean everything the more details you have the more likely they are to sponsor you

practice....its a little easier if you have a rear shock, but there is a delay with the shock due to more pre-load thats slows you down, so going over obsticles are timed differently,  i prefer hard tail.  level your cranks parellel to the ground (or close) push down with  your weight bending your knees, into the bike towards the ground, if youre using platform pedals angle your toes down so you have some grip on the pedals and shoes. after you preload down on the bike, use the energy from the preload to pull the bike upwards with your feet hooked to the pedals and up on the handlebar.  like your jumping with your bike under you.  you dont have to be going fast, you can even do it stalling (being still). and practice

Well lets see it's the best sport ever!!!!!!! Lots of awesome riders and it's super fun to do. I love Motocross, Riding is exhilarating and thrilling makes you feel the ultimate Adrenalin rush. Broke my scaphoid(wrist) in a slide out corner, but was worth it. Freedom... as it is a bike, and you can go super fast as well as jumping these machines to unbelievable heights. I've try ed all different types of bikes for ex. Honda 80cc,200,250,Kawasaki 100,and the latest bike I've ridden is Yamaha 450F. This bike is way too big for me but it is still thrilling to try out.My Old bike was a Honda 200xr and it was a great learning bike. But I like to jump and you need better suspension. So I'm in the midst of buying a new one. For now I ride My mans Honda 250cr for fun. This bike is too hairy for me , as I'm not that big of a body type to ride such a beast. If you ever get the chance to go to a show you should check it out you wont be disappointed. You can always rent bikes as well, but make sure you wear all the protective gear.Enjoy and let loose:).

me - i got one in march from a shop in brechin (Scotland) and it is absolutely fantastic.  i have rheumatoid arthritis and hadn't been on a bike for about 20 years.  in July i did a 100 miles cycle for charity ( i had to split it into 12 days though).  if you are thinking of getting one i would highly recommend it.  it has certainly given me a new lease of life, helped me to tone up and lose weight.  brilliant.  best £380 i ever spent.

Pro cyclists seem to have pretty good posture, and they spend 8 hours a day on their bikes - so posture isn't a concern.  :-)\n\nFor commuting only 8km you shouldn't get a racy aggressive frame though. Stick with something comfortable, upright, and you'll be happier in the long run. Also, steel frames are more comfortable than aluminum.\n\nJust go to your local bike shop, have them measure you for fit, and test ride bikes until you find the most comfy one for you that fits!\n\nGood luck.

Try the "Shape of Your Life" program by Outside magazine.  This program has you working on endurance, speed, stamina, strength, and balance.  All of these will improve your cycling.\n\nAlso, interval workouts on the bike will make you faster and stronger.  There are a lot of good sources describing these types of workouts.  These are relatively short workouts that yield huge returns.

It depends, your weight, height, speed all affect it, I believe if you are going up hills that would affect it as well.

that will depend on how hard you push yourself and the terrain.\ni personally usually go about 6-10 MPH on average whenever i go for longer bike rides.\n          \n           if you are going to be riding this distance constantly i might recommend getting a road bike it will allow you to go faster and make your trip easier

That is impossible to answer especially being a used bike. you do not know how much abuse was put on the bike to start, rather it was maintained properly, or if anything has already been replaced. It also depends on how much you ride and the type of riding your doing. The harder you ride the less time you will get out of the bike.
