Anyone remember an old MX book by Rolf Tiblin? (sp?)

Edited Date/Time 1/27/2012 7:07am
Anyone remember if it was a book by Rolf Tiblin or Torsten Hallman with Tiblin in it?

I can't remember the name, but the book had some great "home grown" workouts in it. Like squats and hops in sand with a basketball between your legs. Tiblin was an animal in his day.

Anyone? T-Bond? BobbyM? Though you might even be to young.

I think the one you are thinking about is " The Husqvarna training manual" Rolf Tibblen was in charge of the Husqvarna motocross school at Carlsbad for years. Another good one was "The tecnique of motocross" by Ake Jonsson.

Lackey was in that book. Tiblin kicked some butt. Didn't Tony D have his moto school at Carlsbad?

Nah, The Official Suzuki Motocross School was run by Mark Blackwell. Actually it was the Husqvarna school rebadged <img class= " title="Laughing">
Mrs Moore (Corki Moores mom) used to look after the student lodgings and dining. Was a hella fun place to hang around even if they all used to get pissed at me lapping Carlsbad faster on a RM100 than on a RM370 :roll:

I think Tony D took up the slack after the Suzuki school closed, but he was a travelling show and remained based back in Pa I think.

Yup, thats it. Thanks. I doubt I'll ever find a copy though.

I used to have that book, still might, I'll have to look around for it.

I recall the Zook School of Moto on the road into the pits at Carlsbad, they had a few smaller tracks for the school too, 1 above the main track, and 1 near the Superbikers course I think, memory is a bit hazy on that.

I'll never forget the first day I raced at Carlsbad, a slow 250 Novice in 79'

The fog was really thick and I didn't know the layout too well. A friend was following me around for a lap and said it was like riding trials behind me. I couldn't see where I was going and that track in the morning as anyone knows who has raced there is a greasy mess at the bottom an dry as a bone at the top, rolling over Devils Drop stomach in my throat only completed 1 lap until later for the races when the fog cleared.

As the years passed it turned out to be my favourite track of all, loved those hills.

In 81" at a very muddy CMC Golden State race, after practice I could not lift the YZ 465 onto the crate, must have weighed 300lbs :shock:

i remember it well...set the pace for training and racing. ake's book was good too. I used a couple techniques i believe attributed to tibblin such as the bend at the knees with back against the wall and the broom handle with the rope and weight tied on to it...or maybe that was just my dads way of torturing me!

My year fender broke off at that CMC Golden State race. Remember how muddy the pits were? I was the first one to make a lap around in practice. After that they closed the up and downhill section. Bunch of guys got stuck on the uphill.

Yeah, the back against the wall thing was called the iron chair...and it was a killer.

I used to have the Tibblin book, and then later the Lackey book that Len Weed did with Brad.

Popular Cycling ran a lot of the Tibblin stuff in articles, I think.
