The dates will be January 22/23 (Fri/Sat) in Nesmith, SC at Battery Park Offroad and February 19/20 (Fri/Sat) in Hull, GA. Both of these schools are conveniently located near the Sumter Hare Scramble and the National Enduro for those students who may be competing in these events. We will focus on conquering those specific trail situations that you will experience during the race and will also have a pressure washer available to clean your bike. Watts stated, “The Dirt Wise with Shane Watts Academy of Offroad Riding is an excellent opportunity to gain experience and improve your skill level with offroad riding situations, whilst in a controlled environment and under expert guidance. The Dirt Wise Academy of Offroad Riding school is an exceptional learning institution that focuses on offroad specific riding situations and instruction, however the skills we teach apply to both offroad and motocross riding/racing.” The Dirt Wise Academy of Offroad Riding is a proud sponsor of the upcoming Battle of Atlanta race to be held on January 3, 2010 in Social Circle, GA. Each racer participating in this event will receive a raffle ticket and a chance to win a FREE spot at a Dirt Wise Riding school of their choice in either Nesmith, SC (January 22/23), or Hull, GA (February 19/20). "We are stoked to support this upcoming event and give back to this awesome sport!" Cost for the two day school is $350, with discounts available for previous students and extra family members.
