Day 1 of the first anual "Dream Camp" got kicked off at daylight as riders began the registration and orientation portion of the event.

The camp would feature Pro ATV and Bike riders giving instruction on a small group basis and after the ride around the facility to get everyone familiar with the event, the riders would soon be broken up into groups for the days work

The camp filled to capacity and in these hard economic times, that is a good thing! Riders of some very varied skill levels would get 4 days of hands on instruction at one of the premier riding locations on the east coast!

Jason "Dunk" Dunkleberger would be onhand all 4 days offering personal instruction in any area that any rider felt they needed help on.

Dunk wasted no time in meeting and greeting his group and would soon have them doing things alot of them never even thought of!

Stations were set up for the various instructors they have on hand and the day would begin...hands on all the way!

This wasn't any coddling type of instruction, Dunk put them in the dirt right off the bat!!!!

The riders soon relized that not every thing they would learn would be on the quad as pre- race stretching and warm up is or should be part of every riders routine.

Warm up laps allowed the riders to get used to the layout of the rack, and a time for Dunk to catch a glimpse of what he had to work with and look for areas where he might be able to help a rider on a 1 on 1 level. The skill levels varied from a few first time riders to a few that can really rip on a mx track!

Not only was the skill level varied, so was the equipment. From stockers to highly modified, this ATV group had enough differences to challenge both the rider and instructor! Dunk did not just chat, he dove right in and was showing these guys everything from the basics to block passes!

Cornering was the main focus of today and will be for the next 3 as it is an very important skill needed to run at the track or on the trail. Not once did I see Dunk shy away from getting in there and using himself as the pivot point for a corner. The riders were doing exactly what he asked and in a very short time, were tackling things alot faster then they did before.

When talking wasn't enough, Dunk geared up and showed the riders how he wanted it done!
