The first KTM Race Camp in the United Kingdom has opened at FatCat
Motoparc in Doncaster, Yorkshire.
The off-road school is aimed at every motocrosser - from the occasional
rider to the hardened professional – with tuition spearheaded by former
Grand Prix and Motocross of Nations winner, Paul Malin.
Costing just £159, including lunch and refreshments, the UK KTM Race
Camp is open to riders from aged six and above, on all makes and models
of MX machinery. No equipment is provided, but the option of riding the
very latest KTM machines is available with a fleet of hire bikes at an
additional cost.
With three, all-weather sand circuits of differing difficulty and excellent
facilities, FatCat is regarded as one of the country’s premier motocross
venues and each KTM Race Camp day is limited to just ten places to
ensure riders get the full attention of the instructors.
Whether it’s preparing for competition or just beating a mate on practice
days, each course is structured to assess a rider and break down their
riding into the individual techniques needed in MX. Through practical
coaching and classroom sessions, every rider will come away with either
new skills or existing ones sharpened.
Paul Malin, chief instructor for the UK KTM Race Camp, said:
“Inexperienced riders can obviously learn a lot at the KTM Race Camp, but
often we find experienced and returning riders hanging on to a lot of bad
habits that we can iron out. Having someone analyse and criticise your
riding might not sound great, but our instructors will always pick up things
that can help make you a better rider.”
KTM UK Managing Director, Shaun Sisterson, said: “For KTM, ‘Ready to
Race’ is much more than a marketing slogan; all our bikes are developed
from racers competing and winning at the very highest level, for all riders
to benefit from. The KTM Race Camps have been very successful in
Europe and offer riders a chance to hone their skills at an excellent facility
with the option of riding the latest SX range of KTMs.”
The full 2012 calendar will be released imminently, but, for those who can’t
wait, there will be one opening date in 2011 on November 27.
