ATV RIDERCOURSE ADDED TO ATV MOTOCROSS SHOWCASE
EVENTS
MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (May 7,
2008) -- The ATV Promoters Group (ATVPG)
and ATV Safety Institute (ASI) announced today
that the Nation's premier rider instruction
course, ATV RiderCourse, will be offered at the
four remaining Showcase Events on the ITP
Tires/Moose Racing ATV National Motocross
Championship Series Presented by Parts Unlimited
tour.
ATV RiderCourse offers participants a hands-on
experience to learn the basics of ATV safety and
riding techniques. It represents the optimum
starting point for all riders to learn how to
ride ATVs safely and responsibly. While the ATV
RiderCourse itself is fun, it is the actual
application of the safety information and skills
learned that makes ATV riding even more
rewarding.
Along with RiderCourse, the Showcase Events
feature outdoor themed displays from many
different sponsors and vendors, test rides from
Can-Am, and many other entertainment
opportunities. All Showcase Events are held on
ATV Motocross racing weekends, which showcase
the top Pro, Pro-Am, Amateur, Women's and Youth
riders in the nation.
RiderCourse events will be offered at the
following races: High Point Raceway in Mount
Morris, Pa. (May 24-25); Unadilla Valley Sports
in New Berlin, N.Y. (June 7-8); RedBud in
Buchanan, Mich. (July 26-27); and Loretta Lynn's
Dirt Days in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. (Aug. 9-10).
Two classes will be held the Saturday of each
event, at 8 a.m. and 1 p.m., respectively.
“We are excited to have the ATV RiderCourse as
part of the Showcase Events,” said ATVPG
Director Sam Gammon. “These safety courses will
offer a unique setting to learn the basics of
ATV operation, surrounded by professional and
amateur motocross racing, which demonstrate just
how far you can go as an ATV rider.”
Cathy Tharp, Director of Communications for
Discover Today’s ATV and licensed ASI Instructor
said: “ASI is firmly committed to promoting ATV
safety through its rider training programs and
educating the American public about our Golden
Rules of riding. We're thrilled to have such a
wonderful opportunity to spread our messages to
such a broad audience through the Showcase
events – as part of America's largest ATV
Motocross Series.”
RiderCourse students will receive free weekend
pass, as well as an ASI Completion Card
following completion of the course. The course
cost is $125 for adults and $75 for children
ages 15 and younger. Students may be eligible
for free training and incentives if a new ATV
