G'day Everyone,

What a wide open couple of months it has been around. We are stoked to announce that we have finalized our DirtWise schedule for the remainder of 2010, with the exception of a few school dates from mid October to mid November, however, these will be confirmed by the end of July. So check out our confirmed locations and be sure that you and/or your riding mates get in fast to secure a spot before each school sells out.

There's a lot of great school venues coming up, and we are especially looking forward to the schools on the high country trails of Colorado and Montana - again, there are only a few spots left in each of these schools....... Also, our recently confirmed school just outside of Seattle, WA has only two vacant spots remaining, so we are going to open up a one day school ($200) on Friday, Sept 10 to satisfy the demand. Remember each student who attends these schools in Seattle will receive a free copy of our new DirtWise Advanced Instructional - Volume #2 DVD that will go on sale that weekend.

Race Schedule Changes

Some of you may have seen that I was planning on racing the upcoming EnduroCross series. Well, unfortunately, I have had to withdraw from doing these races now. I was really looking forward to doing them and seeing a lot of you guys.  It would have been good times! For those of you who receive daily updates and follow me by being a fan of my Shane Watts Fan page on FaceBook, then I'm quite certain that you will have seen the massively hectic travel schedule associated with conducting my schools. Therefore, I'm sure you all totally understand my inability to find the adequate time to do the necessary training to perform at the highest level in these races. It's actually been over a month since I have ridden my bike at a medium or fast pace for more than two minutes (for real!!!) - my last ride was back at the National Enduro race in Missouri where I filmed some pretty sweet helmet cam footage, which can be viewed on our DirtWise YouTube channel.

Due to this hectic schedule I also won't be attending the National Enduro in Wyoming (Geez, I was really looking forward to this event)  this weekend as I need to stay home and focus on some other important projects (namely Advanced DVD #2) that need to be wrapped up immediately. I made sure, though, that we could find some time to go to the lake this weekend with some friends for Father's Day. It has been two years since I have ridden my jet ski (wow, time flies!!!) so I pulled it out yesterday and it fired up "first kick"! Believe that!!!

How's this for the great durability of the Dirt Tricks front sprocket that I took off my bike the other day. This sprocket lasted more than 3 times longer than a stock one, and the teeth still didn't bust off. Thanks Dirt Tricks for having the longest lasting sprockets available for us rev heads to use!!!!

FunMart Cycles 2011 Models Available Now!

How's this for the bargain of the year - The crew at Fun Mart Cycles, who have been big supporters of myself for many years, have just released the selling price of their 2011 KTM models,  heavily discounted and available to all customers! No wonder they are the largest selling KTM dealer in the world - apparently they have ordered more than 120 of the new ground breaking KTM 350SX-F machines and offroad conversion kits for them.

Hopefully we will see you all out ripping it up on the trails soon! 
                    Cheers!
