About The Day At Motocross Tryout

When you attend our Motocross Tryout Days, Which are Available on Saturdays and Sundays, (Please contact us for Monday-Friday or alternative location options) our aim is to introduce new riders to this exhilarating and challenging off-road sport in a safe environment without the initial expense of buying a motocross bike and all of the safety gear.

Overview:

We require riders to arrive at the facility to allow enough time for signing on and kitting up in the full protective gear that we supply. At 08:30 am for Youth sessions and 12.30pm Adults sessions the instructor will begin the technical briefing which covers the aims of the session and introduces the riders to basic controls and riding techniques.

If the rider has previous experience riding a motorcycle, we recap the controls and riding techniques prior to assessment of their ability. 

Initially, a small oval track will be used for riders to gain confidence on the bike and to learn key motorcycle skills:
  • Picking up the bike, Starting the bike and using the clutch to pull away
  • Smooth throttle control and braking
  • Correct cornering and body position
  • Effective gear changing
Once the rider and the instructor feel confident that the basic skills have been covered the rider will move on to a more challenging course with a variety of turns and obstacles. Instruction is then provided very much on an individual basis with the emphasis on safety and enjoyment.

Further to the initial briefing and development of skills, the day is then run in 15-20 minute sessions, allowing rest between their riding sessions. 

Complete beginners focus their attention on being self-sufficient on the motorcycle, from being able to start the machine to changing gear effectively.

Motocross is a challenging and physically demanding sport and there is no obligation for you to stay for the whole day. We urge you to ride within your own limits and if you feel unable to stay in control of the motorcycle, you are welcome to leave at any time with our full understanding.
