2015 Camp Schedule

Welcome to our June Newsletter. 

 

Summer is here and with it comes the best time of the year for amateur motocross, Loretta regionals and the race itself in late July.   

 

The first regionals were this weekend May 30-31 at Glen Helen, Freestone and Birch Creek. 

 

In this Newsletter there's a reminder from Colleen to use engine braking along with your front and rear brakes coming into every turn.  

 

Also check out the Martin Castelo interview where the popular Ecuador rider lays out his plans for the future and describes the sacrifices required of a top amatuer rider. 

   

Thanks for reading and good luck at the races! 

MTF NEWS

 

Franklin Nogueras of the Dominican Republic has just signed with the JMR team to race pro nationals both here and in Canada.  He'll begin with at least three rounds of the Lucas Oil MX Pro National Series and then head North of the border for the Gopher Dunes , Ontario round of the Canadian National series on July 12th. Good luck Franklin!  

 

Jordon Smith has not had the results he wanted in the MX Pro Nationals but that all changed Saturday at Thunder Valley. He put together two solid motos of 6th and 5th for a 6th overall.  

 

 

Dakota Alix also continues to ride with more confidence and took 19th and 16th for a 18th overall. 

 

Meanwhile Anthony Rodriguez was sidelined for a second week due to a concussion he suffered in practice prior to Glenn Helen. He is working hard to recover and hopes to be back soon.

Instruction - Engine Braking
by Colleen Millsaps 
 

Many riders don't even think about engine braking yet it's such a valuable technique for any level rider. Riders who don't use engine braking are generally those who are completely dependent on the rear brake and are uncomfortable with aggressive front braking.

Using the engine to brake aids you in braking straighter into the turns................
