My son is already signed up for this.Should be a long fun day of riding......

I wish I didn't have to work! I'm planning on hitting the practice session after work though. First time on an arena cross course, could be interesting! I bet I'll fit in perfectly with my barkbusters and skid plate! :lol: :lol:

I work graveyard so i have to run home.The boys missing his last day of school before winter break.I will be practicing to after his class .I have only raced twice in arenacross.Its a whole diffrent animal then outdoor.Just go and have fun....

My friend, brother and I took the last class there on Nov.23. It was great. Eric is a great guy and great teacher. He will point out mistakes you make in a good (non-demeaning) way.

The track is great too. Best dirt ever. Best part is riding for 7 hrs without the crowds of the regular practice days.

I went last Dec on my WR250...talk about funny having a headlight shining through all the dust and stuff....to bad it was only like my 2nd month riding sucked to have 12yr old girls jumping over me on the 24' table top cuz I was scured...

I saw guy at the practice with a white bike maybe a husky?????anyway he had a taillight but took off his entire headlight assy.His chest protector i think said #67 with a desert 100 paper #plate on it.The dude flat kicked butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, my son tried to get me to let him put the stock tank on the 500 for my first MX race a couple years ago. I told him no way and I was going to wear my Camelback & fanny pack too! I didn't but he was sure worried. I did get several comments sitting in line "Wow, that is a total uh woods bike isn't it?"

Yes, yes it is!

When I raced it at Washougal Amateur Days this past July, I swear my bike was older than most of the girls I was racing against!

EW does a great job of teaching MX, both of my kids have had his classes and we are thinking about taking one again soon.

Wish he was still teaching at Airway Heights. :rant:

Yea the class was great.He's very hands on.He might have been even more so but somebody said he just got screws taken out of his ankle.....

Hands on?! When my daughter took EW's class at Airway on her KX60, he taught them how to speed shift by riding on the bike WITH the kid!

It was hilarious but very effective and they all picked it up quickly.

HAHAA Yea he did that with my boy too.Pretty funny................
