 Offroad motorcycle racing legend Shane Watts has announced the 2009 winter and spring schedule of his wildly popular "Dirt Wise with Shane Watts" Academy of Offroad Riding schools. Watts will continue to travel all over the US for the conducting these very informative two day, World Championship winning Instructional classes that continue to receive rave reviews from attending students. The Dirt Wise Riding schools have the most comprehensive curriculum and value for money that a potential student can find. Watts stated, "The Dirt Wise with Shane Watts Academy of Offroad Riding is an excellent opportunity to gain experience and improve your skill level with offroad riding situations, whilst in a controlled environment and under expert guidance. The Dirt Wise Academy of Offroad Riding school is an exceptional learning institution that focuses on offroad specific riding situations and instruction, however the skills we teach apply to both offroad and motocross riding/racing." "Our school focuses on increasing bike control which results in a safer, more confident and skilled rider. Ultimately this allows each student, if they desire, to easily ride faster without greatly overstepping their skill limits. Having greater bike control and confidence are the key ingredients!" Cost for each 2-day school will be $350 per student. Discounts are available for previous students and extra family members.
A portion of each student's tuition fee is donated to the Blue Ribbon Coalition and the RiderDown Foundation.

Instructional Training Session!
Offroad racing legend Shane Watts is stoked to announce that he will be conducting a free 3 hour sand riding training session on the day prior to Round 1 of the National Enduro Championship, held at Sumter, SC.
The training session will focus on riding techniques and line selection to conserve energy, and to increase your speed and safety over the loose and rough ground that will be encountered during the Enduro.
The training session will be held approximately 5 miles from the Enduro start area (SERMA club grounds) at the public offroad riding area. Start time will be 11:30am and will conclude at 2:30pm. This training session is open to any of the National Enduro competitors and is a great way for you to become comfortable and confident in these advanced conditions while under the expert tuition of this multiple winner of previous GNCC races conducted in the thick sands of Florida.
