Intermediate FMX Camp

Overview:

Ready to take your freestyle motocross journey to the next level? The Intermediate FMX Camp is designed to fast-track your progression from small ramps to full-sized FMX ramps, helping you master the foundational skills needed to conquer larger jumps and learn your first FMX tricks.

Skills You’ll Learn:

• Safe techniques for jumping a full-sized FMX ramp at a reduced gap distance.
• Foundational FMX tricks like no-handers, no-footers, and more advanced beginner tricks.
• For confident riders, progression into tricks like double cans, superman seat grabs, double grabs, heel clickers, bar hops, or any other basic tricks of your choice.

This camp emphasizes personalized coaching, giving each rider the time and attention needed to build confidence and achieve safe, sustainable progress.

What Sets This Camp Apart

Unlike the Beginner Camp, the Intermediate Camp focuses on:

• Building confidence with full-sized FMX ramps and airbag landings.
• Teaching riders to maneuver safely and effectively in the air.
• Providing a safe environment for learning foundational and basic tricks without the pressure of dirt landings.

All jumping and trick practice will take place with airbag landings to prioritize safety and controlled progression.

Goals for Participants

By the end of the Intermediate Camp, riders will:

• Confidently jump a full-sized FMX ramp to an airbag landing at a safe gap distance.
• Begin performing basic FMX tricks under professional guidance.
• Understand how to judge distance safely and minimize risks when approaching full-sized ramps.
• Leave with a handful of tricks and the skills to continue advancing in FMX.

Participants:

• Limited to a maximum of 5 riders per camp to ensure hands-on, personalized coaching.

Equipment:

• No additional equipment is needed compared to the Beginner Camp.

Course Outcomes

What You’ll Achieve:

• Confidence jumping full-sized FMX ramps to airbag landings.
