Bowling Green, KY (2/28/2008) - Before his devastating crash in 2006, Jeremiah Jones was one of the fastest and smoothest racers on the MX track. His speed and skill allowed him to claim three MX championships throughout his career and earned him the respect and adoration of many. Despite his injury, Jeremiah has remained active in the racing community as the rider coach and team advisor for Suzuki, and has recently joined forces with 8-time GNCC champ, Bill Ballance, to put on a top notch riding school.

“Bill and I have been friends for over 15 years, and this is something we had talked about doing for a long time,” said JJ. The class will cover all the basics of riding including starts, jumping, cornering, and whoops. The class will also go into detail about bike set up and the importance of nutrition and exercise.

All though the school will be held at Jeremiah’s private MX track, the instruction and training can be applied to both motocross and cross country types of racing. “The class will lean more towards MX, but Bill and I plan to use our combined knowledge to help the students with any type of racing situation, whether it be MX or XC,” Jeremiah stated.

All skill levels are welcome, however riders must be at least 10 years of age to participate. The two-day class is limited to 12 students and will be held April 5th-6th. Saturday classes will start at 9am and go until dark with Sunday’s class starting at 8am and concluding sometime mid-day.

Students are required to wear proper safety gear including helmets, goggles, chest protectors and boots. There are no nerf bars or tether kill switches required to participate. Riders should come fully prepared as if they were going to the races for the weekend, bringing food, water, and any tools and equipment they may need. “They can either camp out at the track or stay at one of the local motels,” said Jeremiah in regards to offered facilities. “At the end of the class each students will get T-shirts and certificates,” Jones said.

According to Jeremiah, this is to be the first of several classes that he and Bill are planning to conduct. “We’ll be announcing more dates soon. We want to see how this first class goes and then make any needed changes or adjustments to the program,” JJ concluded.
