Rider training offered at ATV Motocross events

One of the country’s premier riding instruction courses, ATV RiderCourse, will be offered at the four remaining Showcase Events on the ITP Tires/Moose Racing ATV National Motocross Championship Series.

ATV RiderCourse offers participants a hands-on experience to learn the basics of ATV safety and riding techniques.

“We are excited to have the ATV RiderCourse as part of the Showcase Events,” says ATV Promoters Group director Sam Gammon. “These safety courses will offer a unique setting to learn the basics of ATV operation, surrounded by professional and amateur motocross racing, which demonstrate just how far you can go as an ATV rider.”

Along with RiderCourse, the Showcase Events feature outdoor-themed displays from many different sponsors and vendors, test rides from Can-Am, and many other entertainment opportunities. All Showcase Events are held on ATV Motocross racing weekends.

RiderCourse students will receive free weekend pass, as well as an ASI Completion Card following completion of the course. The course cost is $125 for adults and $75 for children ages 15 and younger.
