01 — The foundation counts

Ride faster
only through technique.

We have various tracks for learning all the techniques of motocross. All advanced riding techniques are based on the basic techniques. Just as when you build a skyscraper, the basic techniques form the foundation.

The more solid and perfect the foundation, the faster and higher you can build. You can never ride motocross faster by force or by forcing the speed — that only works by improving your riding technique.

The faster you ride, the smaller the time window becomes to act, and the more precise and accurate the balance from the basic position has to be. The higher the speed, the more perfectly the timing and the use of the controls have to be handled.

You learn all of this in the necessary and correct order in a motocross training at MX-Academy.

In motocross training, quality is much more important than quantity.

02 — Individual + analytical

Building up from
the ground.

If you have trained yourself into wrong movement patterns in the basic techniques, it takes a lot of effort and discipline to unlearn them and learn them correctly. That is why it is much more effective to learn the right riding techniques correctly from the ground up in high-quality motocross training, without unnecessary detours.

All motocross equipment can be rented at MX-Academy, and we also offer motocross training for children — information under kids motocross. We also have the right small and light motocross bike for petite women, and beginners are very welcome. Information under motocross for women.

We run the motocross training in different groups and analyse each rider’s weaknesses. Accordingly, each participant then completes their motocross training individually.

03 — Advanced + team

From training
to the team.

The advanced techniques such as all jumping techniques, sand riding, riding ruts, cornering techniques, drifting and many more cannot be learned in a single motocross training. You can get the necessary input and then practise it yourself.

More effective — and without the risk of training yourself into something wrong — are the motocross training sessions in MX-Academy’s motocross team. Anyone who has understood that you can only ride motocross faster through riding technique, and who wants to learn it as efficiently as possible, is welcome in our team training.

For riders with enough will and talent who also put in the necessary training effort, there is then also the opportunity to be accepted into MX-Academy’s official Honda team — including sponsorship.
