Looking for MX training in the great lakes area. Supermini rider © needs training come spring one on one with instructor.  Would like to make a 4-5 day trip and hit some tracks along the way. What training sites would riders recommend.

A friend with a 13 year old daughter speaks highly of Lineman MX.  Russell worked with her a good bit leading up to a respectable finish at Loretta's earlier this year.  He is located near Oil City, PA.

Yep, your in my back yard. Have not had good luck with your place this past year but might try again in the spring.

Bring this back up because I have not found anyone. There seems to be a huge market for this, why don't more tracks offer anything??

Definitely go with gary semics! That guy trained Ryan Freakin Villopoto!

I would but it doesn't seem like Gary and his side kick are interested,,, AGAIN!

Side kick?

Gary only teaches "A" class or Pro riders and sells videos. His nephew teaches others and is very unrealiable. Between them my son still doesn't have training and it's year two. Sadly they are within a hour but I will need to traveling a couple of states away for training.

you could always come up to Canada eh! lol

I'm not sure how far this would be for you but motopark in Chattsworth, Ontario hosts a 5 day motocross school which I heard nothing but good things about. They have an awesome facility and the track is amazing! They are located just south of Owen Sound, probably only a couple hours from the border. Heres the website if you were interested in checking out what Canadians had to offer:

Wow, good to know that his nephew is unreliable. I was planning on getting lessons from him while I'm visiting my dad this summer. You may have just saved me from a disaster!

We are planning on having a motocross school with Nick Jackson in a month or so at our track, just need to line up some dates here soon.  Track's website is arkansawmx.com and I'll update the schedule on there as soon as I know.

Come up to Michigan and get a class at Baja mx.  Matt Crown has a few classes.  He is one of the top vets in the country, former Pro with several years with a national number and a bonus for you his son Joey is one of the elite supermini riders in the world and is at his classes.

I don't know who spreads these rumors that I only train A riders and Pros. That is not the case are all. There are a lot of C and B riders coming here to my Lisbon Oh track all the time. We have an awesome track with really good dirt. My Stepson is realiable and is teaching 3 or 4 days a week, most weeks. He always returns phone messages but many times he also has to leave a message and never gets a call back. For more info and to contact us visit my Group and Private Classes pages on my website;

You told me face to face you do not teach anyone under "B" class in a private lesson. You told me this when David blew me off after I scheduled a lesson almost two months in advance. That was last year and this year David has not returned any calls or emails since March/April time frame. So who should I talk to at your place?? Are these rumors?? No

Friday April 6 was the last time David communicated with me. Sorry but that's not reliable and after what happen last year, it appears to be the norm.

I still need lessons so PM me for contact info and let's get my son training. That's you not David as the teacher!

Listen Weintright,
Before you list negitive stuff about me, my school and my stepson publicly you should have your facts straight. I won't get into what happened between you and David (my stepson). He can do that himself if he chooses too. But as far as you and I are concerned I may have told you I don't do private lessons for C level riders and that is usually still the case. But they can attend one of my group classes. After that I would consider them for private and semi-private lessons. If they are coachable, commited and will work hard, I will do private and semi-private lessons for them. All of last year and this year I've been doing semi-private lessons for 4 riders once a week; C class - Eli Rutter and Austin Pateso. Then there's Mario Testa and Jordan Weber who just moved up to B this year. Then starting this year Bryn Steffen who rides 85 and 125 just joined them. Bryn is only 13. I train these riders because they are coachable and are willing to work hard and do work hard. Their parents are also easy to talk too, polite and appreciative.  I understand you didn't start off here on the right foot when David forgot the lesson you had scheduled with him and didn't show up. That is the first and only time anything like that has ever happened. But like I said I'm not getting into that as that's between you and David. If you want to get your son training with me bring him to one of my group classes and we'll go from there. I'm not guaranteeing anything but I will definitely evaluate him and consider him for further training. You can find my group class schedule at; http://www.gsmxs.com/group-mx-classes

This post is all about one on one training. I stated what you told me that you don't teach "one on one" riders below a "B" class. I never said you didn't teach them in a class. I am not interested in a class but as stated a one on one.

When I was in your backyard you lead me to believe that your stepson has skipped scheduled lessons several times. You even said at 30 he needs to be more reliable and keep the customer informed. One time I don't think so!  Either the case he is working under Gary Semics MX school and giving it a bad name. Question for, why did you not try to fix what David messed up? You didn't even offer to train, make sure I was given a lesson or if I ended happy.  I tried to reschedual with David for about two months before I gave up. Again very limited communication and I finally requested my deposit back. Gary who sent me my deposit back????

My experience with your school is bad. Not reliable and very unprofessional. You don't like it sorry but you had every opportunity to fix it but you just brushed me off. Now you are trying to save face because it's on the web. Flip flop, flip flop, flip flop!
