Thirty active duty or retired military service personnel, including eight of their children, came to MTF April 29 – May 1 and participated in what one called “an amazing experience”. MTF set up a two day camp with the goal of providing riding instruction along with a lot of fun. Riders not only improved their technique but found out where the military conditioning program falls short  (answer? shoulders). They were taught how to get out of the gate fast, how to brake correctly, good cornering technique and even how to scrub a little.

 

 

Tim Reeves, Tech Sgt. US Air Force out of Robbins Air Force Base, Warner Robbins, GA said, “This is amazing what they’re doing for us. It really shows that we in the military are appreciated and it feels great. To watch my son learn so many new techniques from these guys (MTF) is so cool”.

 

Tyson Hoover, Navy Dive Chief from Panama City FL; “I am beyond words for what these guys are doing for us in the military. To go and pay for something like this is a lot of money so it’s phenomenal and a true testament to how much they appreciate us”.

 

Jason Hopkins, Staff Sgt US Army from Fort Banning, GA, I’ve been to Iraq and Afghanistan four times for a year each time so it feels great to be out here having fun and learning instead of in all that crap. It’s just awesome that people would do this for us and it means so much to be appreciated. And the best part is I’m learning more in a day and a half than I have my entire time riding motocross. So I want to say thanks to all those guys at MTF.  

 

With the success of the event don’t be surprised if we do another one next year.

 

And once again guys, thanks for what you do to keep us safe.
