Mason at American Super camp
Sunday morning we headed to the Minneapolis airport to go to the American Super Camp in Fort Collins, Colorado. Once we got there we ate lunch and then checked into our hotel. After we did all that, we headed to the camp to get signed in.
After Danny and the rest of the instructors got done talking and introducing themselves, we all got our gear on and went out for our first time on the track. They started out doing an oval to teach the body positioning and how they teach to ride. One of the main key things I learned while I was there was to use the rear brake more and to easily go on and off with it. Not just letting it release super fast, you have to release it real slow, so not upset the chassis. In this photo is a picture of one of the drills they did one hand on the gas cap and feet on the foot pegs.
Monday start off on a little TT track, so we started having turns going right and left in one lap. On day one and two of the camp, we did 5 minutes then we exited the track. Once everyone was off, we went back out on the track, but the opposite way that we started. On Monday, I tried wearing a steal shoe. It was super fun riding the big TT track with all the instructors, Danny Walker and the KTM Cup kids.
On Tuesday our flight wasn’t until 8:55, so my mom and I went to downtown Fort Collins. We walked around, looked at the cool shops and had lunch. After that, we went to a mini golf place on the way to the airport.
Overall the trip to Colorado was super fun, I learned a lot of new skills to use while riding any type of motorcycle. If you are looking for a school to learn to ride flat track, learn riding positioning or just looking for a fun camp to go to for motorcycles, I would recommend American Super Camp. You will have so much fun just like I did and will learn a lot.
