Motocross is a tough sport and learning correct riding technique is a must if you race. Luckily, there are several MX training facilities and schools to help you out. From beginner to advanced, there is a riding school for all levels.
Having been a moto mom for quite a while now, I hear about it a lot. A couple weeks ago while my barely 6 year old was racing, a moto dad started chatting with me. He asked “So does your son train anywhere?” Certainly it sounds bizarre, but yes he has been to training schools.
Honestly, if you want to run at the top, it’s pretty important that you get at least some training.
Types of MX Training
- Training Facilities – Most training facilities offer daily, weekly or monthly training by experienced coaches. Other training amenities are usually also available. For example, a weight room, shower house, mechanics area and living spaces could all be found at a MX training facility.
- Training Schools and Camps – Training schools don’t necessarily have a specific track designated exclusively for training. Trainers travel to various tracks and offer classes for a certain fee.
- Private Training – Whether affiliated with an MX training facility or not, private training is another option. Moreover, private training gives you a little more flexibility and one on one time with the coach. However, it is usually at a premium price.
