RIDE Academy Announces Next School March 3-4‏

 

Charles City, Va. (February 22, 2012) – Imagine
having the experience of multi-time champions and decorated pro racers
to serve as your coach. While you may not be one of the nation’s top AMA
Pro Flat Track racers yet, you can have a coach and mentor like the
champions do to expand your skills. RIDE Academy takes motorcycle racing
school to the next level and has spots open for the March 3-4 school.

RIDE Academy is led by former AMA Pro Flat Track racer and four-time main event winner Mike Hacker. He has coached and mentored many of the nation’s top racers, including reigning champion Jake Johnson. Hacker is joined by instructors that include three-time AMA Pro Flat Track champion Kenny Coolbeth, two-time and current AMA Pro Flat Track Champion Johnson, AMA Pro Flat Track racer Johnny Lewis who has finished in the top eight the past three seasons, and former AMA Pro Flat Track Twins Champion Jared Mees who finished second during the 2011 series.

“It’s
not every day that a student can ride alongside a champion, learn from
the elite and absorb the knowledge of what took years for some to learn,
all at a two-day school,” said Hacker. “We seek riders who are
determined to excel in their racing, not only those who have the passion
for riding. We desire to build the next champions with excellence in
riding instruction.”

Students
will learn a broad range of techniques to reduce lap times, and limit
mistakes which tend to lead to poor finishes and crashes. At RIDE
Academy, each student has the opportunity for one-on-one coaching with a
champion or an established pro racer. This benefit is unique to RIDE
Academy since it has five racers dedicating time at each school. While
this school is intended to support flat track racers and grow the sport,
all motorcycle competitors are welcome.

The
first RIDE Academy school of the season will be March 3-4, 2012 at RIDE
Academy Headquarters in Charles City, Va. All ages are welcome to
participate. Riders under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian
present. Lunch vouchers are available both days. All participants must
provide their own protective gear including helmet, boots, gloves,
jersey or jacket, and pants. Cost is $500 per person.

RIDE
Academy is determined to change the world of flat track racing. We
believe we have a formula that will lead many riders to success. We are
here to extend our combined knowledge to fellow riders so that they can
become the best they can be in a far less amount of time than it has
taken each of the instructors. To reach excellence you must be
determined and willing to have an open mind to take advice and
instruction. We instruct on the importance of maintaining the right body
position, utilizing control on your motorcycle and using proper
techniques to ensure you will be the most successful motorcycle racer
you can be. Register for a RIDE Academy school or find out more at www.rideacademy.com.
