About
Us
Historically, motocross schools
were a one/two day affair with about twenty
students where only techniques were taught.
We
at 20/20 Racing Academy can not teach all the
moves in one or two days. It takes years of
work and training. Then, with our instruction and
help, competitive riders are able to put it all
together.
20/20
Racing Academy has been the brain-child of Ike De
Jager. Who realized quality education and
training is the key to being successful in
motocross.
