Spring 2009 Jump Clinic

We started our first clinic of the 2009 year! Spring Jump Clinic at the Lake Elsinore Motocross Park on March 28th.  Teaching the class was professional trainer Mike Fedorow (owner of So Cal MX Training) Pro rider Jiri Dostal and myself Shelly Beckstoffer. Along with very supportive track hands on deck for all our needs. The track was closed exclusively to the training event for four hours of fun! We had 20 riders. Ranging from mini bikes to big bikes, beginners to more advanced and all ages from about 6 to 60!! Kevin Reno of MotoxKidz and his rider members were some among the list that attended. The weather was perfect for a day for riding.  We started out with a riders meeting. Then quickly got everyone on the track for warm up laps. We broke the riders out accordingly and discussed everything from momentum, chopping power, body position throughout the jump, visual habits and much more. In no time at all all of the rider were progressing and really showing improvement. During the breaks, MIke would discuss the physics of the bike, body transfer of weight and how this makes the bike react.   Everyone wanting to learn more at this point and had smiles under their helmets. So throughout the day we continue to observe and work one on one with each rider and train. The last part of the class was awesome! Mike introduced full starting gate race training. Complete with dropping the gate, first turn drills and first lap drills. The adrenaline was flowing at this point and everyone was on it!! As the riders would line back up on the gate, Jiri Dostal would talk with the riders  discuss his personal experiences of what it takes mentally and visually, best gate pick, etc. to get down the track for the "hole shot".  It was awesome! Everyone learned and there were no bad incidents to report. They cant wait for the next class!
