Families start riding because it is fun. When your child masters the basics of the controls they start racing. As they get better at their craft they win a race or two at their local track. Then you test your skills at some AMA national events like Mini O’s, Ponca City, Spring a Ding and make a run at qualifying for the National Championships at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. The first experience at one of these nationals is usually eye opening with full gates of kids. The family scratches their head on the long trek home discussing how to compete at this level.

​

This is the moment the training facility hunt starts. That consist of local private trainers that are trying to make a living while still racing, 1 or 2 icon facility names that require a year commitment and a few boutique facilities that allow a limited number of kids.

​

All motocross training facilities will have different styles and approaches. When a child first starts training, seat time with the right form, and correct braking, clutch, and throttle placement is phase 1. As they progress, Race pace intensity and strategy are honed in on.
