People outside the moto-x world see the glamorous photos and videos of Ryan Villopoto and Jeremy McGrath crossing the finish line with flames flying, fireworks popping.

They might not realize that since the days of Ricky Carmichael the game has changed.. Ricky was the one who turned up the heat on the off-the-bike training, nutrition and basically turned moto into the full-time job it is today…

At Monster Energy we think it is important to make sure that young riders running this intense program can step away from the 20 minute moto’s, 45 miles road bike sessions, countless hours in the gym and simply ENJOY RIDING A DIRTBIKE!

Enjoy everything about the track life… Too often these young athletes don’t get to look beyond the number on the bike pulling up beside them before the flag drops at Loretta’s…

Monster Army put on this camp with the help of Grindstone Compound, Kawasaki, Liquid Force, FearNot Films, Mike Emery Photography, SanUk, Surface Sun Systems and many more great companies…

Remember in the midst of gate picks and cardio sessions, riding bikes is meant to be fun.. That’s why we started down this road in the first place!

Monster Army!
