I'm taking my husband and daughters this weekend. We leave Thursday for the 4 day camp. Ok, so I'm taking 15 people - half of them are instructors of mine. It is my kind of a team building exercise.

It is all inclusive. They provide everything, including bike, gear, lodging, food, etc. We have been asked to bring halloween costumes for Saturday night. And, Freddy Spencer will be guest instructing.

To say I'm excited is an understatement...

Ed, we are heading straight there on Thursday. And, might not be home until Monday... They have warned us that hangovers can happen :lol: That is why you should come pick up your bike on Tuesday.

Colin will be there. He will probably not ride, given his physical condition.

Looking like I'm not going to make it. :( I had to fly to NOLA almost a week later than expected because certain people wouldn't get off their arses in time. No way I'd be able to get everything done in time.

OK, I don't know how I missed this... I just came back to update with pictures.

Down to Earth is one way to put it. Redneck is another :lol: He's spectacular to hang out with. I wish he weren't injured that weekend, though we probably would have flipped his side-by-side if he was healthy.

The price... I have a special relationship with the guys at Colin's camp. We're family. So, I won't talk about what we paid.

That weekend, Freddie Spencer was there with his son. Jonathan Green was also there filming the "this is Boot Camp" commercial. We had another guy floating around getting quotes from people... I just found out why. We're in this month's Sport Rider Magazine:

I HIGHLY recommend going to this school. I don't care if you haven't ever ridden on dirt bikes before. In fact, you might be better off if you haven't. Unless you are REALLY large or REALLY small, they provide everything. You literally need to bring a toothbrush, socks and underwear. They have gear, bikes, food, lodging - EVERYTHING. I walked in, they handed me a gear bag with boots, helmet, goggles, shirt, pants, pads...

It seems expensive. But, for what you get - it's worth the four days of riding with these guys.

I'm going back in May for the Women's weekend. I'm addicted.

May have to look into this. However, I have a number of my things on my "want" list, so it will be awhile before I save up enough money to do this.
I'd probably ride the Strom down there and kill two birds (and several states) with one stone.

That's some funny shit.

I'm doing a write up for it. I have almost too much video from the weekend. I'm trying to sort through it all. It's a good thing we've cancelled the session today at the track, I might actually get it done.

05-17-2012, 07:46 PM
OK, so life is getting in the way.

I did get a video done. For those that aren't aware, Colin has a son named Hayes. He is this tiny little thing that can't even start his little 50. But, he rides the f out of it. And, has now learned how to f with other riders. :lol: It was SUCH a difference between October and last weekend. I turned on my chest cam because I heard him enter the pavilion... we nicknamed his bike "fury"

He's SO badass.
