In Motocross you can develop at your own pace – through speed, community and mastery.
You will ride on some of the country's most beautiful tracks, learn mechanics and safety, and experience the freedom of a helmet, gas, and dust.
During the year we hunt for snow-free slopes, including on an autumn trip to southern Sweden and a spring trip to northern Europe – before enjoying the winter on skis and snow in Hallingdal.
At Motocross you get a year filled with speed, community and mastery.
This is the line for those who love motorbikes and adrenaline – but also safety, camaraderie and true outdoor life.
Here you can develop on two wheels, learn maintenance and technique, and experience the feeling of freedom when the wheels get stuck in the gravel.
We race in season, train on Hallingdal's beautiful slopes and travel to snow-free slopes in Northern Europe when spring comes.
In winter, we swap motorbikes for skiing, alternative training and community in the mountains.
The motocross line is suitable for both those who are experienced and those who want to learn from scratch – all you need is the desire to ride and contribute to the team.
On the motocross line , EVERYTHING is possible!0
You can follow us on Instagram.
You will train in both motocross and enduro , learn safety, maintenance and mechanics, and become confident in both your machine and your body.
We have access to the courses at Gol (Fuglehaugen and the motor center) and Ål , where the latter has Norway's largest children's and beginner course - perfect for technique training and progression.
In addition, we go to Rena , Southern Sweden and Northern Europe during the line weeks for variety and new challenges.
In the winter we work on alternative training , balance , strength and falling technique – and enjoy skiing and snow in the mountains.
We have a workshop at the school and our own garage to lock up bicycles, so you can tinker and train safely.
This year will be a combination of motor, nature and mastery – right in the heart of Hallingdal.
