Race Mountain Bike
How do I get started into mountain bike racing?
I am 14 years old and have ridden mtn for a while. I live in NJ and was looking to get into serious racing. How do I start?
I've been riding bikes since I was around your age and just started getting into racing this summer. I was surprised how easy it was to do.
Most races have pre-registration that gets you a discount and extra raffle prizes, plus pre-race info. The first race I did my family came to watch and I didn't really know anybody, but I ended up making a ton of friends from it. Most mountain bikers are pretty relaxed and are very helpful. At a few races I've even gotten free bike maintenance from people and other help.
Just make sure your bike is tuned up, you have water with you (bottles or backpack depending on the length of the race), and you have a helmet. Racing is a ton of fun even if you don't win.

Marin CXR Team XTR Mountain Bike '10 Bicycles
USD 2799.97 Whether you'll be racing XC or just want to ride one of the nicest hardtail mountain bikes made today, the CXR hardtail will suit your needs. Marin's 2010 Team CXR XTR is a zero-compromise, no-holds-barred, full-tilt race machine that can handle its own on epic trail rides as well. The frame is full carbon monocoque with an oversized downtube and internal cable routing. This gives you the stiffest platform from which to launch your attack for trail supremacy. Suspension is handled by one of the lightest forks out there, the 100mm SID World Cup with carbon power bulges and Black Box Motion Control. The lightweight parts continue with quick Mavic rims, silky DT Swiss 240S hubs and versatile Maxxis tires. And it keeps getting better with an Easton carbon bar, Thomson Elite stem and post as well as a WTB saddle. With such a dialed spec, would you expect anything less than a full XTR group including cranks and brakes? We didn't think so. Awesome race bike for the price!!! Parts alone would equal the cost of the whole bike!

Rocky Mountain Vertex 970 RSL Bike - 2012
USD 3657.99 Remember the first 29ers? They were slow-handling and flexy. It looks like those days are coming to an end. The full monocoque carbon fiber Rocky Mountain Vertex 970 RSL is a race thoroughbred. The slightly stretched top tube gives the bike a roomy feel with plenty of space to crank climbs without feeling cramped. This roominess doesn't hurt handling, however. The Vertex is quick and whippy, thanks to steep head and seat tube angles. Stiffness is not an issue, either. In fact, it's one of the Vertex's strong points. Features like a tapered head tube, massive down tube, Pressfit GXP bottom bracket, and a 142 x 12 mm thru axle rear end mean lateral flex is virtually eliminated. Rocky built vertical compliance into the ride as well with chainstays that are thin vertically and have a wide cross-section All that in a frame that weighs about 1000 grams means we'll be expecting to see you on the next available podium.
