Chuck Collins of RR 1 Varna fits this description to a tee. Motocross is something which comes natural to the 15 year old Collins since father Randy operates one of the finer motocross and snowmobile facilities in Ontario, a few miles to the south of the Stanley township hamlet. Motocross which is a rough and ready version of motorcycle racing, has enjoyed enormous popularity in Europe for a number of years but it's only within the last decade that the sport has attracted large followings on this side of the pond. The grade 10 student at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton became interested in bikes in a somewhat unusual fashion. "I was riding around in an all -terrain vehicle seven years ago when I fell out and received a concussion. Ever since then I've been hooked on motorcycles." Motocross has been an integral part of his life style since that time, with Collins starting out in the school boy small class and advancing this year to the stage where he was one of the top junior big wheel riders in Ontario. Next year he'll move up to the ' senior big wheel category where he might be in line for a partial spon- sorship from a major spark plug company. Collins expressed con- fidence that he would have placed well in the Canadian championships for the junior division held near Van- couver had he been able to afford the trip. "A buddy of mine. Doug Miller of Guelph, finished second and on a given day 1 can beat him." This past season Collins was active almost every weekend in motocross from April until October. Although Collins is still only 15 and as such, still eligible for the junior division, he said riders of a category who have done extremely well are automatically moved up the next bracket. Competing in the senior division will result in more races of a greater length and of a higher calibre, he said. Speaking of advancing in the sport, Collins said competition is the key. Riders in the United States have a much higher level of skills than their Canadian counterparts. Collins said he hopes to run a number of races in the U.S. next season. In terms of his own skills, a number of motocross schools which he has attended have taught him a lot, Collins stated. One's level of physical fitness is quite important especially in the higher echelons of competition. The tussled hair blond says he does some jogging and works on improving his hand strength every night. He said the hands are the part of the body which do the most work in the sport. Collins participated this past season in two categories, the 125 cc big wheel and the 250 cc big wheel. Excluding the 125 cc motorcycle which is his father's, Collins figures it cost him about $3,500 to race motocross this past season. This includes his other motorcycle, maintenance and equipment. Collins performs most of the maintenance on the equipment which he says is extremely durable providing that regular maintenance is performed. Under Canadian Motor- cycle association rules motocross riders must wear a helmet, a long sleeve jersey with elbow pads, nylon or leather pants and protective boots which cover the calve area ofthe leg. He's only had one injuryof note, which was a cut to the forehead caused by a foot peddle from another motorcycle four years ago. Brother Gord was not deterred by injury and this year participated in the houseleague mototcross staged by Hully Gully. The younger of the Collins brothers sustained a broken leg this past summer when run over by another machine. Chuck says sister Becky takes to the motocross course occasionally for some recreation. The most important part of the race is the start, he said and added that races can be won or lost at the dro p of the starter's flag. If at all possible a rider should get away from the pack as soon as possible so as to avoid the mahem which may take place if a rider falls. "The action gets pretty hairy," he said. It's also important that the rider prepare himself mentally for the race by having confidence in his own abilities and knowing the rack off by heart. The rider is the most important factor in the race with the equipment being very closely matched, he said. Collins said he would like to join the professional motocross circuit. If that wasn't possible he said would like to be a motorcycle mechanic.
