Once the gate drops on the local track, you'll get your first taste of racing. The courses have a variety of turns and jumps, and you'll find that you'll need to adjust your approach for some of them. If you forget to hit the throttle boost, you could land in the valley of two jumps and struggle up the hill. Conversely, jump too far and you may plant yourself on the edge or on the front slope of another hill. Timing and knowing the course are the keys to victory.
Money is awarded based on the finishing positions.
Cash is used to repair and upgrade your motorcycle, and the available upgrades include engines, tires, exhaust systems, suspension, and brakes. Points are also awarded. A maximum of 25 points is awarded for first place, and a paltry one point is given for finishing last. The local series consists of four races, and the goal is to finish atop the rider list to advance to the next level. If you finish the local series in first place, the 125cc West Supercross series opens up.
