Message: [QUOTE="BillyWho, post: 223558, member: 22397"] Hey Zoomer how have you been? One of my most memorable experiences as a kid (9) was going to Gary Baileys MX school back in Mich. I know that was too long ago to help you, but I think he is one of the great "icons" in our sport. One thing he did back then that he would get sued for now a-days, is when it came time to teach us ( kids from 8-12) how to use the front brake when going into a turn, he would stand at the entrance of a particular corner with a VERY large and thick stick, and have everyone one at a time go into the turn as fast as they could and use as much front brake as possible. Only problem is when you didn't use the front brake... CRACK, right across your knuckles on your right hand. I think he bloodied more than a few knuckles including mine, but it worked awesome, cuz from that point on I was very conscious of using my front brake ALL the time LOL! I was just looking at an ad for one of his new videos that came out, I think I'm going to get it and check it out. As far as his schools go, I would highly recommend going, I would certainly guarantee you will learn quite a bit, and he is a great guy to boot. Buster [/QUOTE]
