[darylZero]

I live in Orlando and I’m looking to take a MX class. I’m just getting back into riding and think it would be a good before I hit the open practice. Anyone have a MX school in FL they recommend?

I've had my son all over central Florida and the best by far is St. Pete on Monday nights with Vince DeVane and JB Ballard ($25). Or come to Lakeland for 1 on 1 with Vince for $50 an hour, sometimes he and JB have a weekend clinic for $250.

I inquired about training at Bithlo awhile back and they e-mailed me saying they no longer had schools on Sat.

At Dade City Randy is very very good at building the foundation. You'll run the tires and go over your 3 body positions, this is the most important part!! You do get to go out on the main track for a "free ride" but all learning is on the tires with Randy. Once you move to the next level there's a couple different instructors. Unfortunately the one my son has (Intermediate or mini's) isn't very hands on with the kids. He just let's them ride around carrying on bad habits and not much encouragement. A lot of locals pay the $25 for practice time for the evenings race.

Thanks for the info! :cool:

Do you happen to have the contact info Vince?

 

[SteveinSpringHill]

I attempted to e-mail but it says you don't accept e-mails. You can call me on my cell and I'll give you the number. I'm sure Vince doesn't want a bunch of calls (public forum) if they're not seriously wanting to book him. My cell# 352-586-9648

 

[darylZero]

I will give you a call today when I get off work (5:30). Thanks again! :)

I highly recommend Vince and JB. I've been to there classes several times at Sunshine and had lessons at Bartow.

As far as contacting them, I don't think Vince is worried about having his cell number out there. It's listed on Bartow's(http://www.bartowmotocross.com/) website.

Talked to Vince last night he is slammed (1 on 1 private) for the next few weeks (schools out for the summer). I'd reccommend St. Pete's school but they are closed this Monday night (holiday).
