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 an autumn trip to southern Sweden and a spring trip to northern Europe before enjoying the winter on skis and snow in Hallingdal.
Driving 2–3 days a week in season
Technique and balance
Maintenance and repair in the workshop
Alternative training during winter
Line weeks with trips in Norway and the Nordic countries
Courses in safety, licensing and noise requirements
Community and social environment across lines
(Your own car makes it easier to train extra at the courses in the nearby area.)
🗺️ The Line Weeks
1️⃣ Rena – start of the season and driving technique
2️⃣ Southern Sweden – autumn trip before the snow arrives: warmth, speed and perfect conditions on snow-free tracks
3️⃣ The mountains – skiing, snowboarding and alternative training in the winter months
4️⃣ Northern Europe – spring trip to find new paths and inspiration
All students must have their own motorcycle, either motocross or enduro , and a license .
Electric bicycles are extra exciting (and increasingly popular), they allow for more riding with lower noise.
The tracks we use are located close to buildings, so we follow noise requirements carefully.
