Ok Here is what I can say so far.

I have contacted a level 2 coach, who is still a current Pro Grade Motocrosser.  He is in his 30s and has been a personal trainer, so he understands different levels of fitness.

At this stage looking at a one day school probably a Sunday.

Cost about $120/140 per rider plus extra if need MA licence.

I have three venues in mind (on southside of Brisbane), all are Vintage friendly two of them are current VMX tracks.

I would like to gauge what dates the majority would prefer.

Sunday 2 Feb (if this is everyone's preferred date we need to get moving)
Sunday 9 Feb
Sunday 23 Feb  Etc

Please let me know if anyone would prefer a Saturday instead.

Email me at [email protected] or post here or PM

Kevin, nice work, thanks for arranging this. 

There has been a bit of interest and I suspect there will be more than 1 or 2 group coaching sessions over time.

Please confirm if there are minimum numbers required for the sessions you propose.

I am taking the liberty to add, a) availability schedule to help decision making, b) a poll to help determine areas of coaching interest to help tailor the program.

Date preferences:

1. Charlie - available 2,9, 23 Feb (would prefer Saturday if possible)

Brisbane Motorcycle Club ( BMCC ) are having their club sign on day on Sunday 23rd Feb at the Nudgee track as well as trophy presentations from the 2013 Club Championship. This is the first club day of the year for existing or new members to join for 2014, so this date might have some impact on riders for the 23rd Feb coaching date.
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

This is the first club day of the year for existing or new members to join for 2014, so this date might have some impact on riders for the 23rd Feb coaching date.

Again if everyone prefers Saturdays that can be arranged.  The 22 Feb might be better than 23rd etc.  I avoided 16 Feb because that is QVMX sign on etc.  Either way I need to get some concenus so I can start to finalise.

At this stage there isn't a minimum set, but maximum with one coach is 15.

As for what to teach I think the level of the riders involved will dictate that but I'm sure that can all be worked out.  I'm sure if the majority of riders want something special that can occur, but if someone need help in one area that can also be worked out.

OK here is the latest.

Vintage bike/rider school at Harrisville Sunday 9th February.  $120.00 / rider

I will post more details soon.

Barry Surawski will be the coach.  We will get extra coaches if needed.  Barry is a level 2 MA coach and still a current Pro Grade rider.  Barry has also worked as a personal trainer so he will include fitness and eating tips as well.

Ummm no - that's where NOT to put a tent peg.  ;D ;D ;D

I am also available for tuition on how NOT to mount a gear lever.  Or depending if you just want to use first and neutral - how to mount it that way  ;)

Later in the month would suit me.  2 Feb is a bit too soon ... Need to get bikes prepped for the year ASAP.  Check gear level position, tyre pressures etc... ::)

I can offer a course on how to remove a rear tube to check if you have a leaky valve - does that help anyone  :o :o  I can alos offer assistance in how to jettison weight from the bike mid race by getting rid of the rear brake lever and brake rod  ;)
