hi bro_isk,

 

its great of u 2 start dis! but is the trainer certified 2 instruct in off road riding? is of not good 2 the newbies if dat the proper instruction is not given n bad habits r form. dis would not be a good thing!

 

cheers!

I may not have a scrambler, but I do second airtime here. If you wanna train and if you somehow don't have a way to "certify" yourself, at least put out your training schedules, the training plans, what it aims to teach, how it benefits the trainees. There's gotta be some sort of itinerary. That's standardisation for ya.

[reymund77]

Totally agree....fast riders doesn't mean good trainers.....jus like someone whom do wells in his studies doesn't mean he can be a good teacher to guide others.

 

Sorry bro ISK, dun mean to spoil ur thread but just my opinion....cos learning the correct way to ride/jump, how to ride and from the right teacher / trainer is very crucial for everyone.....picking up the wrong info or bad habits might do more harm then good....some local senior guys from the MSSC forum just got certified in the USA to be a trainer for MX/enduro.....so ppl serious abt learning to ride can approach him too or drop by tat website

Most important for newbies or first timers....learn the right way from the right people from the start, then u will enjoy your next ride more..tis will spur more interest into the sports (enduro/mx)

[reymund77]

Btw, dun be concern abt the intensive 3 days course or "those training for racer wanna be" etc....I'm sure the trainer can come out with something simpler to get more ppl into the sports/hobby....and of cos at a lower and more attractive rates.....proper training helps everyone to enjoy their weekend rides more, fall less and know urself and the bike better.

 

The last training I've attended, there's no course fee (FOC)....training/introduction to off-rd riding....back to basic, very systematic way of teaching, from introducing the bikes components, wat to maintain or lookout for, tyre pressure, basic suspension setting, controls, cables etc...then go into riding control like balancing, braking, throttle control...not much of riding, jus back to basic training..good quality information that I believe its overlooked by some and certainly helps to minimize falls so everyone can enjoy their ride better....

 

If there's interest again, maybe Bro ISK might wanna consider collaborating / working together to conduct the training program....I belief everyone's basic interest is same and good too...promoting the sport and getting more like minded people to go riding and hopefully more riding grounds....more ppl = more fun

[bro_isk]

[hsphalt]

thanks bro isk...had a great time for my first trial riding. Overall the training was comprehensive for a scrambler newbie like me. The environment was well planned and safe. In this training i manage to pop my 1st wheelie on the wet ground with badly worned tires on my XR4. Thanks for patient for answering my all silly newbie questions...Kudos to you bro!!! btw do let me know if you are organising any simple trail route... haha..cos i think i need some more experience before going to do thai massgae...

[quraisy]

Hi Bro_isk, thanks for the newbie tutorial that was succesfully conducted. Had fun, learn many new things, what to look out for etc. Yeah, we didn't learn ani of this things during our licence course, but overall it was fun and exciting. Hopefully you could set up another trails rides for us newbies agaiin,,hehehe.

Ohh yes for those readers out there who still have doubt abt this newbie trail rides, i recommend A++++ for bro_isk to try it yourself.....

Thanks once again & can't wait for your next session...

[sops]

Wah.. I got my bike back at 2pm plus.. wouldn't have made it.. Pls, pls update us on the next activity for newbies.. and yeah, appreciate it bro_isk for checking up for my case.. customer service for some companies also cannot match with your enthusiasm! Thanks bro..

[bro_isk]

Thank You guys for turning up in my sharing session. Let me remind to the new riders out there..., my Newbie Tutorial is not a training session. I will not be coaching not teach you guys on how to ride a dirtbike. The Newbie tutorial is a sharing session to all new scrambler riders based on my experience and your request. It is just like a normal kopitiam meetup whereby newbie riders will tend to ask me some basic question, eg: where to service dirtbikes, what's the pressure before entering trails and guards required.

 

At times, there maybe motocross racers/ enduro racers/ pioneers turning up to share their knowledge too.

Let me remind to the new riders out there..., my Newbie Tutorial is not a training session

pls note the term-training....in this training...badly worn tires.

 

the term - tutorail is a period of teaching (oxford english dictionary)

 

proper education of bike safety - worn out tires - n riding techniques should be left to ppl who noe wat they r doing!

 

or is dis the case of the blind leading the blind?

 

irregardless of off road racing or off road riding,riders should seek proper instruction. if u 1 2 improve yrself there is not shortcut. even at pro level racing,riders at dat level still seek proper instruction 2 help improve their riding.

juz my view on dis matter!

[ShahZuL]

come on la bro...cut the man sum slack...at least he has the time and patience to have this kind of informal guidance/tips for the newbies...besides, to each is own... to follow his trail or not is up to the rider himself...

juz my view on dis matter!

 

p.s. btw, there's no such word as irregardless.... the correct term would be 'regardless' (oxford wordpower dictionary, 6th edition, oxford university press, page 519)

[airtime]

hi shahzul,

thanks 4 pointing out the grammer mistake. lol! juz my views dats is all! juz like y there is licence driving instructors and back seat drivers...

 

so its juz a point 2 educate the riders in the rite direction.

 

like wat u said,2 each his own....
