G'day Everyone,

We are so excited to finally announce that the DirtWise Advanced Instructional DVD Volume #2 - How to Master Corners, Braking, and Roosting through Tight trees is finally here...... Actually, I mean that it is nearly here!!! We are in the process of getting it ready to send off to be replicated, which will take just over two weeks, and then we will be able to start shipping them out to all of you guys and gals that have been patiently waiting for it.

We are pretty stoked on how it all came out (except for the long delay and five fused vertebrae!) as it is filled so much invaluable information, techniques, and exercises for all skill levels to utilize in conquering the wide variety of trail situations you will encounter. We might call this series of new DVDs "Advanced Instructionals" but really what we mean by that is that we go way past "generalized instruction" in these Advanced DVDs and provide a much more in-depth analysis of each possible situation you will deal with while cornering, braking and roosting through tight trees. We believe this DVD is a "must" for any offroad enthusiast who is keen on improving their safety, energy conservation, skill, confidence, and speed on the trails, or who just wants to watch a heap of sensational offroad footage!
Check out the teaser video by clicking here!

You can pre-order it now through www.shanewatts.com until Oct 22 and receive free shipping within the US, $2US for Canada and Mexico, and $4US for all other International orders. You won't be charged anything until the DVD ships to you, which should be on Monday, Oct 18. The other option is to purchase a set of the Flexx handlebars from our web store and not only will we give you free shipping on the DVD but we will actually give you the DVD for free! The Flexx bar/Adv #2 offer gives you a $50 total saving off the recommended retail pricing.

divorcesignBikes For Sale!!!

Just kidding...no divorce, but I thought this pic was hilarious. In all seriousness, the Advanced #2 DVD isn't the only bargain we have for you this month. I also have two 2009 KTM 450XCF machines, that will only have about 12 hours use on them. Currently they are still brand new and in the original crate - MSRP is $8698, your price will be $5500. Now there's a bargain!!! Let us know if you want one or both as they will be snapped up real quick at those prices, that is for sure. Contact us if you need more info.


Exciting Announcements for 2011!
DirtWise "HardCore"  & DirtWise Race Team???
moreyouknow
Since there's no divorce, why do I have these bikes for sale? Well, it's just natural for me to try and always help people out so when I was notified that the two young kids from Australia who are the current 1st and 2nd Overall National Cross Country Champions, Toby Price and Jarrod Bewley, were wanting to race the last two GNCCs this year and they were unable to gather the necessary support from other avenues, I decided to buy them each a bike to ride, and to provide my van and trailer to them for transportation while here. This would allow them the opportunity to tear it up over here and possibly prove they are worthy of far greater support. These kids are unbelievably  FAST and I'm predicting some excellent results for them, as in, easily top ten, if not top five as long as all goes well. Thanks heaps to Fun Mart Cycles, the largest selling KTM dealer worldwide, for their magnificent support in making this all possible. This deal is one step closer to the formation of a possible DirtWise Race team for 2011 - an idea that I have been toying with lately.......
A possible Race team in the near future would complement the new two day DirtWise "Hardcore - Building Champions" Race schools that we will be implementing in 2011 and conducting at select locations across the nation. These higher level Race schools will be applicable for the more dedicated and accomplished riders/racers out there, and for previous DirtWise Riding school graduates, who wish to push themselves to the limit and maximize their race results and conquer hardcore trail situations. These schools will have a limited number of students and will focus on "Advanced level" instruction and the necessary physical training solutions required for this skill level. This will include on-site VO2 max testing and providing a training manual of the exact exercises you will need to perform, and the dedicated program required to reach the top. This is going to be exciting!!! Please contact us if you are interested in more info on this addition for 2011.

Emily Swick, a student from a previous Albany, Oregon DirtWise Riding School demonstrates one of the skills she learned.  More importantly though, she gained the great confidence to tackle something that was once very intimidating! 
Good on ya',  Emily! Keep up the great work and thanks for the pic!
