Kick Start, Saturday 7th March

Unlike the last kickstart which was held in teaming rain today’s weather was awesome for the 8 kickstarters who came to HJDBC.

It was a sea of blue with 6 Yamaha ,a Husky 85 and Suzuki 70. 

Once again we had coaches Rod & George who were assisted with our now well seasoned demo rider Beau #98.

We blitzed the theory side of the course in great time which gave us plenty of time to get lots of practical riding in.

The boys and girls were exemplary, they listened and followed all instructions to the tee.

After doing some technique drills around the witches hats we practiced some uphill & downhill drills up and down the berms of the MX track.

We then cut plenty of laps on the MX track to the point that the kids (and the coaches & parents!) were all worn out and were ready to call it a day.

A special mention must go to all the riders who were extremely mindful of the abilities of the smaller kids and were very considerate and safe when riding near them. Also Beau was a great role model today and was very helpful and patient with the all the riders in showing them the way around and the correct techniques.
