DIRT BIKE CAMP

FIRST YEAR DIRT BIKE CAMP

1 Week, Coed, Ages 11-15

​

Campers participate in a 21-step instructional program on clutch control dirt bike riding and safety then progress to trail riding. They also spend time participating in traditional camp activities later in the week.

 

Lessons start with the assumption that the rider has no dirt bike experience.  However, even our experienced riders find they learn new skills and enhance their riding ability.  This instructional program is based on an off road version of the Motor Cycle Safety Foundation's road program and is designed to produce knowledgeable, safe riders of clutch control bikes. 

 

Lessons progress from understanding the parts, controls and the mechanics of the bike to clutch control, shifting gears, balance, counter-balance, maneuvering the bike in tight spaces, riding trails, and encountering mud pits and logs or other obstacles on the trails.
