Last Friday November 18th 20 trainers form Latvia, Russia and Romania were present in Riga (Latvia) for education and instructions in the FIM Europe MXGP Academy certification program. The trainers followed their education, received information and made the test for MX-B.
All trainers were successful in obtaining the certificate MX-B.
A new Country, which is connecting to the trainers’ platform, is Russia. No less than four new trainers are connected now and will roll out the certification program in their home Country.
Besides that, Mrs. Teija Piirto from Finland was present as well to promote her project MX Safety. This program could be a great help for all trainers, who are connected to the FIM Europe MXGP Academy platform and their local clubs. This is important in order to create more safety on the MX tracks. Unfortunately most accidents happen during free practices at club tracks. Most of the time there is a kind of panic when this happens. Clubs can have a preventive effect with this signal system. In case something happens information is available that can prevent worse consequences and can simultaneously react quickly according to the appropriate protocol. All trainers were positive about this project and will investigate at their local clubs, about the possibilities to start up this safety sign program.
The next meeting will be in November 2017, in Riga again, for MX-C. This meeting will take two days, because the education for trainers and future riders will need more time than the A and B certification.
