New riders introduced to flat track racing
Newcomers to the flat track motorcycle racing scene got the chance to hop on a bike and learn how to ride at the Fairgrounds yesterday.
Flat Track Canada stopped in North Battleford during its journey across the country to hold a course about the basics of the sport, and give beginners hands-on experience on a racetrack.
“The idea of the course is that it allows people to try flat track motorcycle racing at a basic level where we provide the gear, bikes, everything,” Aaron Hesmer, the president of Flat Track Canada, said. “We’re trying to grow the sport from the ground up, so the only real way to do it is making it accessible for people to go out and try the bikes, try the type of racing, [and] realize that it’s a ton of fun.”
