Dirtwise with Shane Watts Feb. 17 & 18

[bfar33 165]

Anyone else signing up for this? I did one maybe 10 years ago and it was the best training and most overall fun experience ever. Over 2 days we drilled/trained literally everything. Flat turns, bermed turns, rutted turns, sandy turns, braking (flat, into corners, in sand), accelerating, static balancing, hill climbs, rocky climbs, drifting, recovering failed climbs, ruts, crossruts, wheelies, stoppies, pivot turns, etc etc etc.. Then he puts a bunch of stuff together and you compete (friendly) against others doing things like drag race/quick stops or slow races.

I'm signed up again, I'd recommend for anyone into dirtbiking/enduro or wants better skills overall. The guy is multi-time enduro champ, ISDE overall winner, GNCC champ, etc.

It's $450 but it is legitimately 2 full days, I've paid more than half of that for basically about 1/4 of the time other places. Lemme know if anyone else is going, may be able to split a cheap hotel on the 17th for a shower instead of camping in the cold.

I'm tied up again, so a nogo again this time, but Wattsy class has been on my radar/wish list for as long as he has been on the scene, and I've been a fan.

While others were in their $$$ team motorhomes during the 1990s heyday of world enduro in his career he was sleeping under the stars and under his truck. A true country arse outback Aussie.

ISDE OA, FIM World enduro championships, US GNCC------for all of us bling mod people- He's the guy that uncrated a different model KTM for almost every GNCC in his championship winning season with a stacked field. He raced OEM stock out of the box bikes of all types and sizes that season (a bit of a psych out for the other factory supported pros).
