MX Try Out

To get started in motocross takes quite a large initial financial outlay to buy kit, a bike, transport, licence, race entry fee, tools and much much more.

A lot of people start racing because their father use to race or they have friends or other family members who have a motocross bike. There are some people who just like the look of the sport and want to have a go but have no clue where to start. No matter how you first experience the thrill of motocross there is no guarantee that after spending quitea lot of money the rider will actually want to continue riding or racing motocross.

Hucklebridge Events Ltd supplies everything you need to try riding a motocross bike without the strain of the initial financial outlay. The try out takes place for 3 hrs and everything for this experience is provided including a bike suitable for the rider, full protective clothing, an ACU qualified commercial coach, emergency first aid qualified person on site at all times, fuel for the bike, a private and comfortable area to get changedin and full insurance cover.

Assessment

To enable the rider to reach a level where he or she is competent at riding the bike the try out is structured using an assessment. The assessment enables the rider to go to a race event and be competent to ride without having to carry out the assessment on race day, with the possibility of not passing and not being able to race. The rider is presented with a certificate which they can take to the race event. Marks telephone number is on this certificate in case a club wishes to ask any further questions, a list of qualified riders will also be displayed on www.hucklebridgeeventsltd.com The rider assessment has been checked by a motocross insurance provider.
