Free Women's Snocross Clinic this weekend |
|
In partnership with
Extreme Motor Park (ERX) in Elk River; April
Moritz and Taylor Carlson will be hosting a Women's snocross clinic, Friday,
February 20 from 3:00 to 5:00pm - designed to expose women to the sport of
snocross and to allow them to try the fast paced and exciting sport in a safe,
non-threatening environment.
"We've (female
athletes) come a long way in the past five years, not just in snocross but in
all forms of competition," said Moritz. "High school girls hockey has exploded
and other forms of motorsports are being rejuvenated thanks in part to female
racers. I feel we can have that same type of impact in snowmobile racing."
The impact Moritz
refers to is evident
in other forms of motorsports, where some of the most popular drivers are
women. Moritz and other women snocross racers hope to take women's snocross
racing to a new level as well and to perhaps be included in future ESPN Winter
X Game events.
The Women's Learn
to Ride Snocross Clinic is open to all women/girls with an interest in learning
about and experiencing snocross. No experience, snowmobile or gear is required
and what's more, the clinic is free! Participants are encouraged to bring
personal riding gear or borrow some from a friend, as jackets, pants and
helmets will be limited. Participants are also asked to bring a mechanically
sound snowmobile if available. For those without, ERX will provide necessary
safety equipment and snowmobiles free of charge.

Women's Snocross Clinic simply call the staff at ERX Motor Park at (763) 633-7433. For more
