Title: Motocross Rentals/School? Post by: desmoquattro on May 04, 2012, 07:42:00 PM I know several people here have taken motocross/dirt bike courses, but my research of late has turned up nothing. Anyone have pointers to where I can (a) rent a dirt bike and/or (b) take lessons?

If you're looking for a true off road experience, troll the off-road mags for classes. Dirt Bike magazine Dirt Rider magazine You can also try the local MX tracks, they do instruction if you're looking for 'whips' off a triple, etc. Sand Hill Club Moto Shane Watts is an off road stud that will whip your ass into shape, I have the scars to prove it. I don't know if he can provide bikes, but he might have a source. There are others. Another idea is to hit up your local off road oriented dealer to see what they offer. When I was pimp'n KTM's, they had a class you could take. Rich Oliver's school will teach you to slide like Gary McCoy and there are others. Leme noodle more... Title: Re: Motocross Rentals/School?

all the beginner dirt instruction you need and one hell of a good time. Id spend some time riding first then do it. Just buy one, you can pick up a mid 90's 2stroke for around 1000. they haven't evolved much over the last decade, except for the 4 stroke. My 96 honda cr125 made the same power as adrians new honda 250x. Just freshen up the suspension and beat the make the beast with two backs out of it. rental will cost you 250 or so, 4 times out then you could have bought one. Title: Re: Motocross Rentals/School?

And I've ridden dirt bikes before, just want to have a bit of fun again. Title: Re: Motocross Rentals/School? Post by: DanTheMan on May 06, 2012, 06:43:50 AM Thanks man.

Post by: jimboecv on May 06, 2012, 07:54:25 AM There are alot of dirt track type schools where you ride small bikes and slide all over. You will laugh your ass off.
