taster course in Switzerland

Too old or too young for a motocross taster course? Hardly! The youngest participants in a motocross taster course are about 4 years old, the oldest 74. More about children in the taster courses can be found under kids motocross Switzerland.

Of course, at MX-Academy you can rent all the equipment for a motocross taster course in Switzerland — complete motocross protective gear, the use of the motocross bikes and the coaching.

The only way to ride motocross faster is to improve your riding technique, your balance and your feel for all the controls — NEVER through more force or more risk. The faster you ride motocross, the more precisely you have to act and the smaller the time window in which you have to balance the bike.

For this reason, and because we have genuine competition bikes at MX-Academy, you need to understand and be able to apply the riding techniques of motocross. That is why coaching is compulsory for all participants who come to MX-Academy for the first time.

From the compact motocross taster course in Switzerland with 1 hour of riding time to the complete day package — choose the format that suits you. All packages include rental bike, protective gear and coach. All prices are non-binding and may change at any time.

Our recommendation on riding time: the motocross taster course offers 1 hour of riding time. However, you can also complete 3.5 hours (Wednesday) or 4 hours (Saturday) of riding time as a taster course – which we recommend for women, men and teenagers.

One hour of taster riding is suitable for children aged 4 to 6, because after 1 hour they are often tired and no longer concentrated. That is why we advise everyone else to choose the longer riding time: this way you really get into the sport and make much more progress. The breaks are essential because the sport is demanding – the riding time therefore always includes breaks.

From the welcome to practice on the track — the motocross taster course in Switzerland is clearly structured and designed for beginners.
