true, i didn't know that they could use that track. i have sent an email to them. at the moment i just have 2 people. but 2 more i think would make it alot better. then you get a whole day for $180 instead of 2 hours for $160

Hi, I went down to Broxy's track last August for a day with a mate and 2 others and it was well worth the drive and cash. Broxy does not muck around and talk too much either, it was straight into the riding, with a mean practise track set in a some flatter paddocks with steep hills all around... which perfect for hillclimbs too which he demonstrated after lunch....
The great thing about having this type of training is just being open to having a Pro watch what you do and put it into words. He then gives an alternate way of attacking the obstacle or section and demonstrates his point. He then watches as you attempt to change the style which you are so used to riding with. It is a real challenge to think hard about what you are actually doing, and at the same time try to change your body position to one that feels totally un-natural. E.g. leaning as far foward as possible nearly with your head touching the front guard while trying to ride one of the roughest, undulating parts of the track. I felt like I was going over the bars, but the key was to try to drive the rear wheel into the ground using your whole body to push through the pegs... felt real weird too, but whether it worked or not didn't seem to matter as it felt more about trying, thinking and experienceing a diff style. We also tried elbows down like RC and practised rutted turns too.
Broxy is not a forceful type of teacher, he listens well, has a quiet casual style and was not afraid to show off, or even push the limits and slide out on one flat corner!!! haha classic
By the end of the day we were mentally aswell as physically tired from riding and thinking so much, but having only four guys was a good number as you would be lost in a bigger crew.
Cheers from Craig.

Doing one up here wed next week, will let you know how it goes if you like.

Did 6 hours with Broxy yesterday, part of a group of 4 riders, the guy is real good, really clear explanations & he was really able to pick the best tips to give each rider depending on their skill level.

Enjoy your training :)

jimmy 2006

27th March 2008, 08:36

worthwhile then? Takitimu, did it leave you thinking, ah ha, now i know what i need to work on? or just that was fun but why is my front wheel still washing out..... (if you know what i mean)

I know what to work on, there was alot of practise on each area ( 8+ passes for a corner ) & Broxy was good at making sure you did at least a couple of passes through doing things how he wanted before you moved on, not enough to be natural, but enough that you had a good feel for the techniques.

Broxy also gave me some written comments which I can go back to for reference, I actually did another 8 laps on my normal track after & instantly better body position when jumping helped heaps, but some others like braking position / dragging rear brake into corners ... they'll take time to translate from the training corners to general use.

I really should go to one of these. I need to clock up some overtime to pay for it though.

27th March 2008, 11:09

hi there,
I would be keen as to attend a training day with broxy.
If there is still room could you PM me and let me know.
Cheers

27th March 2008, 11:34

cheers Vic, let me know if you want to go on this day below.

they have emailed me back saying that it is either thursday 17th april or then late may. $180 pp for full day for 4-6 people.

they can use a track in Kumeu (what track would this be?????? i'm stumped)
but they can't use ardmore because of the resource consent.

or we can use the track in tauranga 10% discount applies if we do (which pretty much pays for the gas down and back!!!!!!!!! sweet deal)

can people please post here if they are keen for this day? if so i will reserve it. first in first served, max of 6 people. i would personally put in for going to tauranga. one of the cars going down can be mine. and if someone has a trailer that we can use that takes more than 2 bikes that is also a big plus!

27th March 2008, 11:37

Reckless

14th May 2008, 09:43

OK sounds like you guys had a god time and all but how bout some feedback on what you actually learnt, after all you didn't go down for a days riding.
Was it worth the money? Did he teach you guys heaps? And do you feel you've improved your technique and skills from going.
Is it worth going if your not quite as good as Telli or GTae or should you ride a bit more first then go?

I've got a lot to learn so would be good to get some feedback as I'm quie keen on a Broxy or a King training day.

jimmy 2006

14th May 2008, 11:10

go the broxy day mate. not DK.

such a good day.

i was really keen to take it easy, not injure myself and just take in what he had to say.
some things that we learnt felt really weird at the start, but by the end you can really feel yourself ride with alot less effort. smoother and in more control.

it is the "smoothness" that i really would like to try to master (over the next 20years:mellow:)
watch him ride. it looks like there really is minimal effort to get his bike from one turn to the next. the bike bucks and moves underneath yet he stays calm and in control.

carrying speed into the corner was another big thing i learnt. instead of going in hard on the brakes and trying to grab a handfull of throttle mid corner. he suggests to carry more speed into the corner and just throttle gently through the corner, once you have straightned up you then get back hard on the gas.

uphill corners. (where the beginning of the corner starts low then the corne ends high. i have always struggled with, so it was good to see a few way's to attack them.

verdict. from novice to pro in one day? don't think so.
ride faster safer for longer? yip i think that is what i will try to take from the day.

can't wait to get back on a familiar track such as ardmore to see how it goes. (i struggled with the soft sandy corners)

as for the money? lets just say i will be booking myself in for another one in a years time.
i think you could benefit alot from the day no matter how you ride. no need to be into racing mx even to get alot out of it.

Reckless

14th May 2008, 14:09

i really would like to try to master (over the next 20years:mellow:)

Hehe its the 20 years in between I've missed out on!! Shoulda kept an MX bike as well as karting? Oh well only rediscovered MX over the last 2 years ( although always been on a road bike) that's why I'd like to do the Broxy. Couldnt go on this one because I just had a kidney stone taken out and can't ride for another 2 weeks and I didn't want you young fellas showing me up!!

Hey thanks for the feedback on the training day helped me decide I really do need to go on one. Thanks Jimmy!

14th May 2008, 18:10

:rofl: thats the funnyest thing i have heard, all day

The less you know the better your be.
As its so hard to break old habbets.
Broxey's training day was by far better then the D.k training that i did, just for the fact your almost one on one training with him all day, anymore then 6 people and it would be to much.
4 was a perfect amount.

jimmy 2006

14th May 2008, 18:15

it was meant to be a group of 5, but my mate dropped out at the last minute.
i think 5 would be the best because it then drops the cost per head quite a bit.

Hey sounds like you guys had a good time on the Broxy Day. It's the Wildman at Ardmore this Sunday, it will be good to see you new skills in action.

We have got another day coming up on the 20th of June in Auckland. This is at a private track. I'm also going to organise some sand riding coaching, this will be at Woodhill. If you are interested or want a price list send me an email at broxymx@gmail.com or catch up with me at Ardmore. Cheers

Ride hard, be safe. Simone.
