It's April and welcome to this month's Newsletter !
We've just finished up three One Week camps and it was great to see everyone having so much fun. Next up is the Free Military Appreciation camp April 13-15, after that a 65 camp in May followed by two more One Week camps. Full schedule below.
The Amateur Spring Nationals are a wrap. Check out how our riders did in the article Spring Nationals Review.
Confidence is always a factor. In this month's instruction article we outline how you can help yourself (or your rider) find more of that elusive self-belief.

MTF NEWS
The West Coast 250 Supercross class resumes for one race event at Santa Clara April 2nd and MTF's own Jordon Smith will be racing. Injury kept him from the last several rounds but Jordon is looking to make a statement this weekend.
Loretta Area Qualifiers are under way and even if you're not sure you can make it to the next qualifying stage (regionals) go race one. They're great experience and you never know you might make it! Click on the picture below for complete qualifying schedule.
The free Military Appreciation Camp is just around the corner April 13-15, 2016. For all of us at MTF it's an honor to give back to our military personnel for all they have sacrificed for us. Plus it's always cool to watch parents riding and training with their kids.

SPRING NATIONALS REVIEW
MTF riders won 13 national titles and 26 times found their way to an overall podium finish in the Spring National race events (RCSX, Millcreek, Oakhill and Freestone).
Most raced Daytona and Freestone (frustratingly the events overlap) but big winners included Wilson Fleming who won three titles at Millcreek to add to his victory at Daytona, Matt LeBlanc with two 65 titles at each of Daytona and Freestone, Ryder DiFrancesco with a title at Freestone, Sean Cantrell a 450A title at Freestone and Hannah Hodges who won both motos in the WMX class at Freestone. Pierce Brown and Nate Thrasher also won titles at Daytona.
Those reaching the podium at the following races; Freestone, Jordon Bailey (3), Dylan Walsh, Ginner Dickinson, Matt leBlanc, Ryder Difrancesco; Millcreek, Dakota Aldredge (2) and at Daytona, Reilly O'Grodnick, Julio Zambrano, Jordon Bailey, Matt leBlanc, Nikko Capps, Nate Thrasher, Sean Cantrell, Wilson Fleming, Dakota Aldredge, Jarrett Frye and Ryder Difrancesco.
Of all the great races over the 3 weeks the best performance award goes to Wilson Fleming #747 (above) at Daytona. Wilson had an 8 sec lead after 4 laps in the 450B main and was cruising to his first ever national championship before a red flag brought the riders back to the gate. Most of us would be blinded by frustration but Wilson coolly reeled off another holeshot, took the lead again and held off several challengers before taking the checkered flag.

The Confidence Factor - or how to "ride your own race".
Sometimes we ask riders, "how would you ride if you knew you were the best one on the gate". Most think for moment and then their eyes light up and they say excitedly ," wow I'd feel awesome" or "yeah, I'd be relaxed and just focused on what I wanted to do", or not worried about anyone else" , many just say "awesome". Then we ask, "OK, why not just ride like that anyway?" to which we get blank stares!
