bLU cRU SA JUNIOR CUP – AN AWESOME 3 DAY CAMP FOR THE CLASS OF 2022!

January 20, 2022 Filed Under: Coaches, News, Road Racing, SA Women in Motorcycling, State Championship

bLU cRU SA JUNIOR CUP – AN AWESOME 3 DAY CAMP FOR THE CLASS OF 2022!

With a huge thanks to Levi Day’s On Track Rider Training crew, the inaugural bLU cRU South Australian Junior Cup took another huge step forward over the past 3 days at MacNamara Park (Mac Park) Raceway in Mount Gambier where, for the first time, the whole squad got together and hit hit the track on their awesome looking Yamaha R15 bikes.

With Levi still in England, it was left up to coaches Will Strugnell, Tyra Lynch and Kym Bolto, who were ably assisted by Allan Bolto and Wade Sweet, to put the squad of 12, along with guest rider Ryder Sweet, through their paces over the 3 day camp. All facets of racing were covered, starts, cornering, race lines,  even getting tucked in behind the fairing to minimise wind resistance, flow and maintaining corner speed – which is so different for some of the dirt bike kids making the transition to bitumen!

All were also put through a number of off bike requirements, including bike maintenance and preparation, race preparation for the rider and his race gear, as well as extra things, like dealing with the media, as all riders were interviewed by Rebecca Bowdidge from Pit Lane Studios – can’t wait to see those videos come out!

This SA Junior Cup is the vision of Road Race Sports Manager, Kym Bolto, so, what did he think about the camp; “To witness and be a part of the team from day 1 to day 3 of the On Bike Rider Training with Levi Day for our SA juniors was nothing short of brilliant. The mateship and rapport shown now within the group of not only riders but parents alike is sensational. The skills learned and the transformation of the riders on track proves that this concept works and I can’t wait for this season to get underway. Thank you to Ty, Will, Andy, Allan and Chris for your time and efforts over the 3 days. Plus, a special thank you to Bec from Pit lane Studios for her efforts in recording all the happenings over the past 3 days!”

And from Natasha Warren, one of the riders mum’s, “Thank you so much and to all the other team involved for the coaching opportunity over the last 3 days for Lucas.  He did not stop talking about it when he arrived home last night. He is so in love with this sport and so very excited about this year.  I am just loving seeing him be so passionate about this and wanted to learn everything he can. Thank you again.”

So – who makes up the inaugural bLU cRU South Australian Junior Cup squad – well, here they are;


ARCHIE SCHMIDT – CAMERON RENDE – COOPER PITT – ETHAN DELLOW – FRED BARRY – JAMES HOWIE

LUCAS WARREN – RIKKI HENRY – RYDER GILBERT – SETH DELLOW – TOMI DOBLE – XAVION AMOY 

 
Ryder Sweet was invited as a guest rider for the camp and also joined in the group pic (above left & centre) and as the days and weeks count down to the start of this inaugural series here in SA – APRIL 15-16-17 as part of round 2 of the 2022 SA Road Race Championships, again at Mac Park in Mt Gambier – the support and interest in the Series continues to grow, so look for junior road racing in South Australia to boom over the coming years – and especially with the great support shown to the Series already (above right pic)

AND: For anyone, potential future champion or business, who would like more information on how to get involved in, or support this great new Series, which will form a part of a funnel through to the Oceania Junior Cup to Asian Junior Cup to Red Bull Rookies and onto Moto GP, and to help SA (and Australia) uncover our next great Champion in the making – contact Kym Bolto – roadrace@motorcyclingsa.org.au – for all the details!

ATTENTION ALL JUNIOR RIDERS INDEED – MRA STARTS 2022 OFF WITH A BANG!

January 20, 2022 Filed Under: Coaches, Motocross, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAMX Championship

ATTENTION ALL JUNIOR RIDERS INDEED – MRA STARTS 2022 OFF WITH A BANG!
The Motocross Riders Association are looking forward to a bigger and better year and for those who missed our announcement at their AGM, they have now launched their exciting new MRA Junior Development Program…
As part of their 2022 Club Membership, junior members have been invited to participate in our Junior Development program “MRA Rev Rookies“.
• Subsidised Coaching Sessions – All MRA junior club members have been invited to attend their multiple junior coaching days with Shane Metcalfe, with the costs for these days subsidised by the Club at a heavily discounted rate!! 
• AND  included is Free Merchandise for each participant
• And last but certainly not least, MRA are committed to supporting our riders entering the 2022 AJMX Australian Championships to be held in September/October – date TBA. This includes financial support and training opportunities leading up to the event!
Well, day 1 was run on January 16th to rave reviews, from the MRA Club, the coaching crew and riders and parents alike!
.

Said Shane Metcalfe about the day, “As the main coach for the day and the club we put together a new kind of program which is very exciting, what the club is doing at the moment for its members and the sport is next to none, leading the way. To offer cheaper coaching days, putting merchandise together for participants, as well as putting aside days for this type of thing is unreal. For me we are trying something different also, each session will have a topic for the day, Sunday we went back to basics, the basics is very often overlooked by many but it is the most important part to making riders safer and better riders which is what we are aiming for here, help produce better riders, maybe not faster, but safer and more controlled.”

The 2nd date coming up is January 30th – for junior members aged over 12 years – and stay tuned for more dates to be announced throughout season 2022 – and a huge well done to all at MRA for making this happen in 2022.

Get along to Gillman Speedway this Saturday night for another exciting chapter in the history of this great venue, with the crowning of the SA Div 2 Sidecar Championship, as well as the Gillman Solo Championship.

With a warm night forecast, grab the family and get down there early to have a wander through the pits, and then head to a prime viewing area to see some of SA’s awesome junior talent on display from 6.00pm – and including 2021 SA Champion, Harry Sadler, along with fellow MSA Rising Star nominee, Ashley Jansen-Batchelor – and the next generation coming through like Kobi Channing and Riley Stout – you won’t regret getting there early to see these future stars!

Then head to the brilliant canteen for a feed before settling in for the main event(s) – and who to watch – well, here we go!

SA Div 2 Sidecar Champs; Previous results from this season means there could be up to 5 teams, and maybe more, who could come out on top – but whoever wins, it will mean that they will have had to have ridden a great meeting to do it – so look to Kym Menadue / Shane Dolan, Aaron Silvy / Jaron Silvy, Thomas Adams / Jaxon Rayner, Brian Silvy / Damian Egan and Mitchell Spear / Glen Zaworski to lead the way on the night. Going to be such a good night’s racing!

In the Gillman Solo Championship – you would think Internationals Liam May & Brayden McGuiness would lead the way, but with a heap of interstaters present, it should go down to a great final to end a close night’s racing!

2022 MOTOCROSS DATES – SO FAR – PRINT IT OFF AND PUT IT ON THE SHED FRIDGE DOOR!

January 10, 2022 Filed Under: Motocross, News, SA Women in Motorcycling, SAMX Championship

2022 MOTOCROSS DATES – SO FAR – PRINT IT OFF AND PUT IT ON THE SHED FRIDGE DOOR!

Huge thanks to all of the motocross clubs that were very pro-active in the lead up to the Christmas / New Year break in supplying us with their dates for 2022 – club and/or open dates!

As you can see below, there are already some 40 motocross events scheduled for 2022, with more to come – and happening now with Coaching Days and Come & Try Days coming up through January at MRA with their exciting new Rev Rookies Program (which is brilliant to see).

Any clubs that have not as yet scheduled their dates and forwarded them to MSA – feel free to send them in – projects@motorcyclingsa.org.au – and this calendar of dates will be updated and re-released – so the one on the fridge door can be replaced – and so everyone can keep up with, what is shaping up to be, a huge year of MX action in SA!

Get around it, start planning the year and support the clubs that are going above and beyond to give everyone a place to ride – and almost every weekend as well!

Says SA Motocross Sports Manager Clint Gow-Smith, “I am so excited for 2022 and the SAMX Community that we have coming together – and we will only get stronger together, so lets hit those tracks in 2022 and make it an unbelievably huge year for the sport in 2022 – GET KEEN & FIRE UP!

** For those who got in quick – the MRA Club Day scheduled for Sunday 27th Feb has been cancelled – the calendar has been changed to reflect this.

And don’t forget also – Make Volunteering your 2022 Resolution – every Club will need a hand at some point during the year, so give just one day this year – cook a BBQ, serve in the canteen, help at sign on, pick up a flag point, help prep the track the day before – all it does at the end of the day, is benefit you and your kids!
