Learn to ride the right way. One day. All ages.

Whether your kid just got a dirt bike, you have an e-moto collecting dust, or you've been riding casually and want to actually learn proper technique, this class is for you.

On June 11, 2026 at Top Gun MX Park in Iron Station, NC, Coach Tre McCollough is running a one-day fundamentals class. No experience required. All ages welcome. Bring your own bike, gas or electric.

How the Day Works

The class starts on flat ground. No track. No jumps. Just drills.

Body position. Throttle control. Braking. Turning. The fundamentals that keep riders safe and build real skills. We spend the majority of the day drilling these basics until they feel natural.

Once riders have a solid foundation, we move to the track to apply what they've learned. The goal is that by the end of the day, every rider can get on the track and ride with confidence and control.

This structure is intentional. It's how we've found riders learn fastest and stay safest.

Who This Is For

  • Kids and adults who are brand new to dirt bikes
  • Riders on e-motos who want to learn proper dirt bike technique
  • Parents who want their kid to learn the right way from a real coach
  • Casual riders who've been figuring it out on their own and want to build correct habits
  • Anyone at any skill level who wants to work on fundamentals

FAQs

No age limit or minimum. However, we ask that young riders be able to go through the track and ride without parent help. Ideally, they can pick up their own bikes if they fall.

Unfortunately, for any camps outside of our home base of Austin, Texas, we do not rent bikes. However, you can contact us and we can try to source you a bike from the local area.

We offer no refunds within 30 days of the camp. However, we can offer a camp credit to future training if you need to cancel within 30 days.

Lunch and water is the rider's responsibility.

To make sure that everyone gets the time and attention they need, we limit our classes to 20 riders per instructor. Usually, it is under 20 riders total. If there is a lot of demand, we will go up to 30 riders, but bring in another of our coaches from The MX Factory ATX.

Because we take a technique first approach, we are able to cater to all skill levels and all riding styles.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Woods riders might honestly have MORE to gain from this class.

Rain Policy for In-Person Motocross Camps

At The MX Factory, safety is paramount. Riding in the rain can be an exhilarating experience, but there are limits.

1. Riding Conditions:
We are committed to conducting camps unless rain makes conditions unsafe for riders. The decision to continue or halt the camp due to rain will be at the sole discretion of The MX Factory team.

2. 1-Day Camps:

  • Cancellation Prior to Start: In the event of rain, we will try to find a track within 90 minutes of the original track that is dry and able to operate. If we move tracks, we will not be offering refunds, so please be prepared in the event of rain to drive an additional 90 minutes. If weather forces us to cancel a camp before it begins, we will reschedule the camp to another available date. If you cannot attend on the rescheduled date, we will offer you a refund.
  • Interruption After Start: If rain interrupts a camp that's already started, we regret that refunds cannot be issued due to incurred operational costs.

3. 2-Day Camps:

  • Cancellation Prior to Start: In the event of rain, we will try to find a track within 90 minutes of the original track that is dry and able to operate. If we move tracks, we will not be offering refunds, so please be prepared in the event of rain to drive an additional 90 minutes.

    If weather forces us to cancel a camp before it begins, we will reschedule the camp to another available date. If you cannot attend on the rescheduled date, we will offer you a refund.
  • Interruption After Start: If a 2-Day camp is already underway and gets disrupted by weather, no refunds can be provided.

Yes, the date on the site it correct. Often, we have to schedule clinics during the week, because scheduling on the weekend with tracks is very difficult. A lot of our students play hooky to get out of school or work to join us for the day.
