Sumo - Dirt Skills School

In early July I attended a Supermoto School that focused on the dirt aspect of Sumo. I had a blast.


This was a fun little jump that you had to hit just right. If you didn't you would end up going over the other side and crashing into a chain link fence. Which I almost did. :?

The class consisted of beginning dirt drills with body positioning riding small ovals then we progressed to the larger TT oval when everybody was comfortable sliding. I've been to a regular sumo school but I really liked this one because it was all focused on dirt skills rather than asphalt. After taking this school I want a dirtbike even more. :lol: I would just have to get some supermoto rims and tires for the sumo tracks so I can ride both dirt and sumo. After the TT oval we ended the day riding a full on moto-x track on the sumo tires. Lots of fun. The only thing that sucked was the track temp was around 118 degrees so you would drink a ton of water and not have to go to the bathroom.


Here's a fun little berm on the moto-x track.
