Firstly what are you allowed to ride? To begin with racing leagues are set up dependent on age of the rider. If the rider is quite young than it is more likely that they will be categorised for racing. These will also be restricted to how big the bike they can ride is. For example the youngest of riders will not be allowed to ride anything larger than say a 50cc or 85cc bike.
However once you get older there are leagues set up dependent on the size of bike you ride or your ability.
So check beforehand with your local organisation what the regulations are for you to enter the race. After this you are ready to look into buying a bike.
Depending on what you are allowed to ride there are many different manufacturers of dirt bikes out there for you to choose from, and a lot of them have many options when it comes to after market parts for your bike.
However again, if you are looking to modify your bike, make sure that you can enter into a league which allows you to do this, as some leagues will be set up for factory bikes (standard).
The main manufacturers for you to choose from are the likes of KTM, Kawasaki, Gas Gas and Honda dirt bikes. There are also many more to choose from which will have similar build quality and performance specs to match these.
So look into these different manufacturers and decide which bike is best for you, once you have purchased your bike all I can say is happy riding!

Downhill Mountain Biking Techniques
Riding down steep slopes and might seem intimidating to beginner downhill riders. The main factor which transforms riding downhill into such an intimidation is that everything happens faster and in a more intense manner. Riding downhill is different than ordinary bike riding in many ways. One of the main differences is the bikers’ center of gravity. While riding on straight terrain, there’s no problem figuring out where your center of gravity is and maneuvering accordingly. Just like ordinary bike riding, but more so, there’s a grave importance to looking ahead and realizing what kind of terrain we’re riding on. There’s a major difference between bike riding on rocks, wet ground, or on a leafy area. Once you’ll realize ahead of time what kind of terrain you’re riding on, you’ll know how to maneuver your bike more successfully.
This post will focus on braking principles. Breaking your bike while descending downhill isn’t as simple as it seems. There are many conditions that require different techniques of breaking. If you’ll just pull on the breaks and hope for them to stop, there’s a pretty good chance you’re going to loose traction, spin and fall down. A basic technique of correct braking which is applied also in motor vehicles is to apply the brakes gently smoothly. It’s better to apply the brakes by alternated smooth movements as a posed to just clamping them. Brakes can also be used as a way to turn your bike. Applying your back brake can help you turn your bike, by pivoting.
These were only a few introductory tips. Before setting out on a downhill trail, I recommend taking a few lessons with a mountain biking instructor in order to be sure that you have the knowledge and skills required in order to cope with the challenges downhill trails pose.

My bike's brakes have been making odd noises when I use them
I have a mongoose bmx bike and I just rewired the whole brake system and got new brake pads. The brakes work great but when I use them it vibrates the whole bike and makes a squeeking sound throughout the whole time I use it. At first I thought it was because the new brake pads haven't been used at all so its normal, but I got an older set of pads and replaced the new ones but the brakes still made the same sound. When I use the brakes the whole bike starts vibrating and a really annoying squeeking sound starts and it gets louder and worse the more its used. What solutions can are there for me to fix it? I already to it to a local bike shop and they said its just the new brake pads. but even with old brake pads it does the same thing. Thanks in advance!
i think the cables are too tight
