Certified Professional Off-road Trainers



What will you learn?

We have Honda CRF 50's, CRF 110's, CRF 125's, and CRF 250's, Yamaha TT-R 125's, and Kawasaki KX 250's available for the kids to learn on. Featuring full riding gear supplied by Fox so the riders are protected. You are welcome to bring your own bike and riding gear if you choose to.

Summer Camp

Learn to race is for riders who have either completed Level 3 “Learn to Ride” or who have experience riding one of the full-sized bike tracks (East, Hill or Main). We are welcoming riders who have never raced and those who have experience racing. All levels of riders will walk away with the skills and proper techniques on how to improve at races or how to race for your first time. We will be splitting the riders up into three groups based on riding level so our experienced trainers will be able to focus on each rider and what they need to improve on. This is a 3-day summer camp our day starts at 9am and ends at 4pm. We will be going over starts, jumping, rollers, ruts, cornering, different track conditions, balancing, body positioning, nutrition, pre-race preparation, track etiquette and mindset. We have each day laid out with enough riding time to develop skill and we a have a bunch of fun drills that will help develop technique.
