It depends on what type of racing you want to do.  In bike racing, some of the different types of racing are:\n1) road (road races, time trials, criteriums)  Triathlon could also be in here.\n2) mtb (cross country, downhill, slalom and four cross\n3) cyclocross\n4) bmx\n5) track (fixed gear, you can't coast!)\n\nIf you can be more specific, I am happy to help.  What type of racing?  You looking for brands?  What's your budget and experience?  \n\nIf you are in the market, your best option is to go into your LOCAL bike shop and find an experienced and knowledgable sales person.  This way, you can test different types/brands of bikes, and then they can help you with all service needs, like customizing the fit, and doing tune-ups in the future.

you would need to begin meeting world wide with the representatives of the sport you would also need skills in co ordinating on a national scale as well as Olympic and govt sporting co-coordinator connections,  so as to be recognized internationally \nyou cant do it on your own that's for sure recruit experienced people from both a clerical/managerial and sporting roles \nyou will equally need capital outlay and a public relations representative I'm sure there is  more

Not sure what tracks they have in India?  Check out some bike web sites, but the best thing to do is finish what you studying just incase the bike puts a end a future you currently busy in, then take a few trips to London where you can get used to Brands Hatch and Silverstone, if money is not the option move to the U.K. and get into the standard biking class where some of the big sponsers might be able to help. Get the Doctors auto biography and read how he did it, that is why i am sure he stays in the U.K. as all the big guys sponser wise is from there.  Sounds like you really are passionate about it so thats the best way to begin, maybe check out some bike shops in the U.K. and see if you can get a job from them first and work as a pit crew if the shop has one.  Im from South Africa and support Vale too, but from here most of our top riders go to the U.K. live out of trailors and try and get there name into the sport as soon as they can as it becomes for costly but then again as i said if money isnt the option go over and follow what you dream of doing, i think all bike riders like myself would like to be like all the top riders!!!  It takes alot serious hard work but GO 4 IT!!!!

Make sure to wear a helmet and shoes.\n\nStart at a slow speed. You will pick up speed as you go. Pull up on the handle bars and at the same time do a strong pedal. Be careful not to pull over.  Make sure you are standing up. Any fat tire (mountain bike type) would do. The higher the handle bars the easier. Once up, try not to pedal too fast, just fast enough to keep the front end up. The more you practice, the further you can go. Try to compete against your friends.

Go to either one of the below web sites and find a track near your home - there is a search "find a track" on the sites. These are the two largest organizations involved in BMX racing.  I cannot stress safety enough in this sport and I highly advise buying a chest protector, and I don't care what anyone says.  Chest trauma with a handlebar or pedal from another bike can be very dangerous in BMX. I saw a a real super star rider get slammed in the chest with a pedal and he wasn't wearing chest protection (plain ignorance on the parents part).  I don't care how good or how highly  ranked the kid was, accidents happen).  My son wore a FOX chest protector and I can't tell you how many times this saved his chest and he walked away uninjured. I would also have him wear eye protection, depending on the condition of the track. People will tell you that they can create an injury, chest protectors.  I work as a nurse in an ER, I can't not begin to tell you about chest injuries in sports.  BMX racing can be very safe, provided you invest in the protection. It's really helpful to talk with other parents at the track.  I find most parents to be eager to help and there are a lot of nice moms involved (and Dad's) in the sport. I just walked up to people and asked questions and the parents at tracks were always great. Also, have him wear gloves. It's a very fun sport and my son had a blast without any injuries, just some scrapes. Many of the tracks offer introductry courses on racing. I think it's great sport. Take care

It is difficult to begin a boxing career but you have to begin by joining some type of boxing club.  I am not sure where you live but I am sure that they are pretty much everywhere especially in the bigger cities.  Whoever owns the boxing gym will be your personal sponsor and there you will also have a chance to train with speed bags, heavy bags, jump rope, sparring other boxers and lots of practice before they sign you up for the amatures.  You have to start at the back door before you get to the front!  It takes a lot of heart, dedication and time.  On the plus side, if you win a couple amature fights then you will be qualified to go to golden gloves and that is when you start making the money.  I know friends of mine who make up to two thousand dollars a fight!  Goodluck!

Generally you have to meet a standard performance at a sanctioned meet or road race to qualify for the trials. In some cases, the trials may invite individuals who haven't met the standard in order to get enough competitors for an event.\n\nThere are usually A and B qualifying standards. Both get you an invitation to the Olympic trials. If you meet B standard but not the A, you pay your own way.\n\nTo make the team, you have to be one of the top finishers at the trials. \n\nBefore the Olympic games, you have to meet an Olympic standard. The U.S. gets to have one competitor in each event, even if they haven't met the standard. To get multiple people in an event, they all have to have met the standard.

most pro athletes have treadmills inside.  they like the controlled conditions of being inside (away from the elements or the public).\nor they like to do more "real" workouts when outside.

YEP! They like the extra "show"......Just contact the director of the activities, or the place hosting the sport and make arrangements with them! You can usually find the info on the racing sites on who to contact. Better to call and actually speak with a person though, and make sure you take names!

Start by getting involved in a local gold glove gym or something similar so you can box competitively.  If you get established and keep winning, you will get noticed, and will have a chance to go to olympic trials.

Start at your local racetrack, find local businesses who are interested in sponsoring a team.But the most important thing is to find someone who will show you the ropes, go to a driving school, but a lot of the drivers started from the ground up, go-carts, modifieds, etc. Find a machine shop or some business that deals in race parts.But the thing is to get your face and name out there to be recognized, because with most things, it's WHO you know as well as your talent.You can be the greatest racer, but have no personality and you have to SELL,SELL,SELL!

Performance results are the key.\n\nProduce good results in big competitions then get a good agent or markets agency, keep a good public image and you will land sponsors.\n\nIf you don't understand this concept that you are definately not skiing in high level competitions.\n\nThe key is to get your name out there. Results, agents, personal websites and self promotion does that.
