Supermoto Ridingat theMX-Academy

Supermoto for beginners: basic techniques first

All advanced techniques build on the basic riding techniques, which is why these have to be perfect first. Training takes place in different groups so that beginners and advanced riders each practise at their own level. Newcomers always train with coaching; that is what the MX-Academy requires. You don't need a driving licence for it because the courses take place on private grounds.

So you can get started even without any supermoto experience and lay the foundation on which drifting and jumping are later built. If you want to learn supermoto, you therefore start not with speed, but with clean technique. The important basic techniques include the following points, among others:

• balance and stability
• the right position on the motorcycle
• clean movement patterns
• correct operation of all controls

Supermoto riding with your own bike or a rental bike

You can come with your own supermoto bike or borrow a motocross bike from the MX-Academy. The complete gear can also be rented, and that is worth it: supermoto gear is only partly suitable for proper off-road training. If everything is rented, i.e. bike, protective clothing and coaching, you pay €390 (CHF 360) on Wednesday, non-binding.

If you come with your own bike, the cheaper course day requires riding experience of your own. Anyone who cannot yet ride alone adds extra coaching for €54 (CHF 50), non-binding. Come to the course day in long trousers and sturdy footwear. You can get further pieces of gear later in the MX-Academy motocross shop.
