Bizzarro Racing Skills Clinics |
||
| So you want to be a Pro! Well it's not that easy, it doesn't happen over night, and it's very hard to learn on your own. That's where we come in. Since 1995, Bizzarro Racing has been teaching riders how to be a better and safer bicycle racer. | Pictured here is Bizzarro's "A" pro Shawn DiPrete, battling Factory Dingo's "AA" pro Bob Rowley at the 2000 NBL East Coast National in Egg Harbor, New Jersey. Shawn landed third place bucks on this day. Do you want to make money racing your bike? Well it just may all start at a Bizzarro clinic. | |
| First you must make sure your classroom is clean and neat! Pictured here is Chris Decouto cleaning up the starting pad at our April 15th clinic in Bethel, CT. Chris is the 1999 National #3 rider in the NBL's 25-29 expert class. |

In this picture London talks about the proper way to set up your racing machine, and explains why not setting up your bike the right way just may hurt you. |
| Here London shows a young rider how to balance in the starting gate and points out the proper pedal position. Bizzarro also encourages the rider's parents to become involved in the learning process. Here mom listens in close to what is being taught. |

| The secret to a great gate start is all in the hips! Once again, London demonstrates. | ![]() |
|
| After the riders learn about gate starts, it's on to the track itself. Here London talks to the riders about different ways each jump can be taken and why it's important to know more than just one way to handle each jump. | ||

To jump, to pump, or to roll that is the question. London demonstrates the jump on the right, while Chris demonstrates the pump and roll on the left. | ![]() |
| This day the clinic ended with a jumping demonstration put on by Chris Decouto and Shawn DiPrete |
|
While it's virtually
impossible for a rider to be a BMX superstar after one clinic, Bizzarro
gives riders the tools to grow with and improve their BMX racing.
Getting rid of bad habits at an early stage can be vital to your success
in the future as a BMX legend.
