TRAINING

[Exodus11]

I think a good topic would be training throughout all different types of terrain and just hitting the basics for our fellow RA'ers that may just be getting into the sport or who have some good pointers. such as...jumping, cornering, posture, picking lines, mud, rocks, etc. I just had happened to see a couple of these topics come up and thought it would be a good main topic.

I've got a few Gary Semics videos. Semics trains the pros to ride MX. I would be willing to put these videos into a trading pool library. My concept is that you pay via paypal into a common account to cover the purchase price(as a deposit) and a buck for shipping. You would get a refund when you sent the video back or to another person. Then we could rotate videos or books etc.

We should also announce when Gary Semics is in AZ. He was in Cottonwood a month ago I heard. Also, Steve Hatch and Destry Abbott do classes every now and then.

sweet idea xtremefmx99 and billygoat![8D] since i am just starting out it would be nice to learn how to jump an be able to handle just about any situation and to have load of fun doing what i learned.
so if we do that video thing, im first in line!:D

the difference between genius and insainty is that genius has its limmits

maybe instead of a training thread, a couple of "pros" from RA or whatever could set a date and anyone who wanted to could show up and take advantage of a "training day"-like the movie lol, anyhow if this is a bad idea just tell me to shut up...

No keep talking...just got my first quad w/4WD and would love someone to show me the ins and outs of rockcrawling ect.......

Being that I am still learning, this topic would be of great interest. I was given some very helpful tips and probably would not have done as well as I did without them. I would really like to see some more hints and tips on how to deal with different types of terrain and especially the things I might have to do different because I do not have a 4x4. For instance, I had to go a bit faster up some rough areas and lean forward to keep the front end down when the 4x4's just crawled on up. Those types of hints could save my from making a potentially hurtful mistake.
