My name is Spencer. I live in the Tupelo area. I am 14 years old, I love racing four wheelers, so when I was 10 years old I had my first opportunity to pop the clutch, and jam the throttle. I have won many races, and I have also lost few races. It is way harder than it looks, but I love the adreniline rush it gives me.

The two racing four wheelers I have is a Honda 700XX and a TRX450R. The 700XX is a 2012 model, the TRX450R is also a 2012 model. Personaly I have put lots of money in every four wheeler that I have owned, because aftermarket parts aren't cheap and I still dont win every race.

My Honda 700XX is the stem of my life. It's a really light and it's like a speedy demon, the weight of a racing four wheeler is a really important factor. Light weight engine's are better to race with and perform stunt's with. You have a better chance of catching air with it being less weight, therefore, if it's heavy you have a smaller chance of catching lots of air.

Landing on the front tires first, optimizes your chances of successfully landing a four wheeler. Landing straight down is what you try to avoid, landing at an angle is the way i prefer to not wreck. When im in the air performing stunts, I try to get settled in or in other words the ending of the stunt must be the begging of the next part of the ride.

From when the gate drops to when I cross the finish line, my adreniline is high as ever. All im thinking about is getting in the top 3 places or hoping someone doesn't hit me and mess my racing four wheeler up. The reason I like to get around 1st place, is because of the increase of popularity and notoriety. Which even leads to being famous, having few connections to other professional racers and also a career.
Reliability, a main factor on our Honda 700XX, and it has been excellent. There are plenty of aftermarket parts availible, but the hardest thing to find is tires.

While Honda 700XX engine delivers plenty of power, it's easy to lift the front wheels. Since fuel injected 700XX Honda puts out plenty of useful power, it's very fast.
As beuty of IRS is ground clearance, and ruts that would hang up a tradition
al swingarm glide underneath the seat of the 700XX.

My 450R is also my pride and joy. I don't race with the 450R, it's just more of the type that you would want to ride around on. It's better to have atleast two racing four wheeler's, one to ride and cruise on and the other to race with, so if one messes up then you still have the other one to takes it's place.

Having a decked out four wheeler is extremely important to me, so I have the following equipment on my 450R : Pro Taper handlebars, Elka stage 3 pistons, Acerbis hand gaurds, DG front bumper, Yoshimuro pipe and header, Ported and Polished head, Carb has been jetted to stage 3, KNN air filter, it's bored to a 480, Acerbis hood, X ring chain, Elka stage 4 shocks/ suspension, KRW skid plate wing/belly, Maxxis razr 2 tires, and ITP front and rear rims.

In my opinion Elka has the top of the line aftermarket parts. That's the reason i have an Elka suspension. Elka stage 3 piston's puts 3x the power as stock pistons do, they are also 3x the size as stock pistons are.

The Acerbis hand gaurds matched my rims, so i couldn't resit not to put them on, the Acerbis hood also came with the hand gaurds. The design of the Acerbis hood is unique in it's own way.

Yoshimuro exhaust systems are extremely expensive, they also add 5hp to your engine, I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but it really is. Yoshimuro exhaust systems have a loud and smooth sound, it really just depends on what kind of Yoshimuro system you get, yes some Yoshimuro systems are quiet. I like any system that is loud, smooth, and deep, and that's why I choose the Yoshimuro system.
The only reason I ported and polished the head is more for looks and to match most of the accesories on my four wheeler. It doesn't add any power or affect anything on practicaly any type on machinery.

The carb was jetted to stage 3, because I put stage 3 pistons in. Plus, it adds about 6x the power with it jetted AND bigger pistons. It also puts about 15hp to 20hp than stock.

The 450 is bored to a 480cc, that way it adds about 30hp to the engine and it feels twice as fast. Bording any type of machinery can be difficult in differant ways, because you have to change pistons, and it's better if your going to bored it, then I would prefer jetting it.
KRW skid plate is a really good supporting system underneath the four wheeler. KRW wing plates are also a good supporting system. A belly plate and wing plates are both are pretty good protection for the machinery you are putting them on.

Maxxis Razor 2 tires have around 16 amazing tread lines. They have superior traction. To me they are the top of the line tire selection.
When it comes to rims, it's a significant thing. ITP rims are costly, but at the same time they have a smooth and expensive look to them.
Treating a four wheeler with respect is a main element in my life. Yes, I ride a little rough here and there, but that's because I have reputable, aftermaket parts.

I believe wearing saftey gear is an important thing to worry about. I personaly, think a helment, and steal toed boots are all the racer needs if there are financal issues in the family, but for a more upscale family, then I would prefer helment, neck brace, chest pads, steel toed boots, gloves, and goggles. Although the racer is wealthier or impecunious or not, if racing is an option then no matter what, there should always be an option for any saftey gear.

Learning how to ride with a clutch is hard for most beginers, but for me it's extremely easy. Just bearly push the throttle and slowly lt off the clutch. Now, switching gears is really important. Some engines are one down, and five up. My 700XX is one down, five up. The transmission under the hood of my 700XX is aftermarket, so its really smooth, it's just about indestuctable. My 450R is half down for neutral, five up. They both have extremely smooth transmissions.

Whiping around curvy hill side can be dangerous, there are chances of turning over, but then again it take's lots of practice to hit a curvy hill side, and it be perfect. I like to be in the middle of the curve and pop the clutch, it just looks good to throw dirt around a curve. You can also just go threw the curve with care, as in care I mean do it the normal way I geuss you could say.

I know showing out in front of friends is pretty fun, I do it every one in awhile, I understand everyone wants to do stunts and have a clean ride. I just try not to go over bored with showing off, like not caring is the attitude I dont' like to see. That leads to a dangerous ride, injuries, or even death. If the rider don't think he or she can do something, make sure your close to a phone or a hospital (911). If the rider doesn't know their limitations, then each day there's a riding event I would prefer trying something new. When I say try something new I dont mean, try a back flip on the first ride.

I have been riding for four years now, and I still can't do a back flip. Yesterday 2/18/14 I was dared to try a back flip, and i was about twenty five to fifty feet in the air and I jerked back, that's where I messed up. I know the technique of how to do a back flip, one the rider is in mid air, then slowly lean backwards with the flow. When I jerked back I was straight up, and I fell backwards, and my left leg got stuck in the back bar. Before I hit the ground my knee swisted and I nearly broke my knee. I broke my h0andle bars and few other accessories.

I'm not here to write books about being healthy, but the best way to be healthy while racing is to not do drugs or alcahol products. I don't really see how smoking cigerettes could effect the racer from racing. Chewing tobacco and smokeless tobacco wouldn't effect a racer, or atleast smokeless tobacco hasn't affected me yet. Just like any other sport just use common sense.

Weight of the racer can affect the four wheeler. I'm 6'2 185lbs, my 700XX is perfect for me since it's all decked out it's more like an 800cc, so there's plenty of power to pull a racer the size of me. The 450r is made differant and its less powerful than my 700xx, but it has alot of raising power, and better axles. The racer would have to be atleast 500lbs to brake the axles. Oh, and by the way, raising power is when it's easy to lift the front tires when the racer bearly pushes the throttle.

I broke my handle bars and few other accessories. Unfortunately, that was not the end of my bad luck. Only four days later i had another near fatal wreck.

It was just a calm, speedy, interesting, and a cruising kind of day on 2-22-14 . Twenty seven four wheeler's I was fifth of the line. We were in a huge hay field riding in a line. Why we were riding in a line, I don't know. The rider's in front of me swerved to the left, it wasn't but a second after that I looked down at the speed odomiter, I apeared to doing sixty eight miles per hour, before I could look up, I hit a huge water oak tree.

I honesty believe that was the worst day of my four years I have been riding. I totaled my four wheeler, cracked my helment, blood was flowing out of my nose, and there is no way anybody could count the bruises all over my body. It is impossible to express the pain I was in. I don't really remember everything that happend, because I blacked out.

Since, i'm "injured", I can't race in the season of 2014. I'm just extremely addicted to racing four wheeler's, it's too hard to not race this year. I'm not the type of guy to take someones advice, but this time I did, and I think it was the right choice.

It's going to be grieviously difficult giving up the adreniling rush racing four wheelers gave me. Racing four wheelers is all I have ever wanted to do. I really could care less about trophies - even though I have forty two of my own -- but to me they are just reminders of races I have won or for other things that are connected to racing four wheelers.
