I just got this note from Shane Watts and thought you might be interested, you can also sign up for his news letter and get a note from a world champion!
Offroad legend Shane Watts and his wildly popular Dirt Wise Offroad riding schools have announced their summer schedule of traveling the country conducting these very informative two day classes that continue to gain rave reviews from attending students.
Watts stated, “I believe that the Dirt Wise riding school is an excellent opportunity to gain experience and improve your skill level in offroad riding. The Dirt Wise riding school is an exceptional learning institution that focuses on offroad specific riding situations and instruction, however the skills we teach are the same for offroad as they are for motocross and are applicable to both forms of riding/racing.”
“The majority of our students are of the novice and intermediate skill level, however though what we teach applies to all skill levels. We just set up the skills exercises with varying degrees of difficulty according to the skill levels present at each individual school.”
“Our school focuses on increasing bike control which then results in a safer, more confident rider, and if it’s one of your goals also a faster rider. Having greater bike control and confidence is a key ingredient.”
In addition to receiving industry leading instruction, students will have their $350 tuition fee refunded if within a year of attending the school they purchase a new motorcycle from Fun Mart Cycles (Ph.309 7629624), the largest selling KTM dealer in the US. This offer also extends to their full range of Honda and Yamaha street and offroad motorcycles. If necessary the bike will be delivered nationwide to their door step.
Dates are;
May 31-June 1, 2008 Milliken, CO (near Denver, CO)
June 7-8, 2008 Foot of Mountain, PA (near Neelyton, PA)
June 14-15, 2008 East Orange, VT (near Mont Pelier)

Maybe after I am world and GNCC champion I could help out Wattzy teaching all the mortals how to ride and be gods like us. I only have a short way to go until I am on the same level as Shane…

Psycho, who do you think coaches Wattsy? If I had a nickel for every pro that I worked with on riding technique I would be a rich man. I am not one to brag but for every hall of fame member their is someone they are not allowed to thank because of my contract with them. I live on as an unspoken hero of the sport and thats just okey dokey with me, I do it for the sport, not the glory.

Well, while you two have been blowing your own horns, I got signed up for the Idaho City round of Watts riding school.
I would have been happy to have either of you teach me what ever you are experts at, no wait, I can already cut and paste……

You could cut and paste in the past but then you took a liking to the paste and just like grade school through your entire school career your teachers were constantly asking that you would stop eating the paste. Finger painting was also a strong point of yours, you may want to show Watts a thing or two about finger paints.
For you I will school you gratis as long as you leave the paste at home. wyatt

Can I get schooled even if I don’t paint?
