Bowling Green, KY (8/22/2008)
- Three-time AMA ATVA Pro Motocross champion
and current Suzuki Rider Coach/Consultant,
Jeremiah Jones, announced recently that he
will be holding several private riding schools
this fall and is currently accepting email
inquiries to determine the when’s and
where’s of his classes.
“It’s going to be just me out
there, so I want to limit the class sizes
to about 2-3 students at a time. That way
I am able to give each rider more individual
attention and focus more on what each individual
needs,” said J.J. who plans to hold
most of the schools at his track in Bowling
Green, KY, and possibly at another track in
South Carolina, but Jeremiah also is keeping
options open for other locations as well.
“I don’t have a limit as to how
many schools I put on so that will be determined
more by interested in my classes.”
Jeremiah also states that his classes can
be either one or two day sessions and that
his classes are different from most other
riding classes that are currently offered
by Pro racers. “Most other classes have
a set curriculum, but that’s not how
I do my classes. My classes are pretty laid
back. I find out what the students weaknesses
are out on the track and what they would like
to become better at and then we focus on those
weaknesses,” stated Jones.
Jeremiah indicates that his classes are based
on motocross, but he also works with cross-country
riders as well. “A lot of cross country
races incorporate a little MX into the mix,
like the WORCS series and some of the GNCC
events, so learning basic motocross skills
can really help give racers an advantage out
there,” Jeremiah explained. Besides
being open to all types of riders, Jones indicated
he is also accepting just about every skill
level as well.
Riders who sign up for lesson should be aware
of what to bring with them when attending
the schools. “Riders should come prepared
as if they were going to a race. They should
bring tools, extra tires and some parts if
needed, water, food...the basics,” said
Jones. “We do offer primitive camping
on site or their are hotels in the area for
students who will be traveling some distance
for the classes.”

the riding schools or is interested in scheduling
