Meet the “coach”

Alex Martin, co-founder of Troll Training, raced professional MX and SX for 15 years. Turning pro in 2009, he raced for several privateer teams before winning a moto at the Budds Creek National in 2015. This win awarded him a Factory Ride with the Star Racing Yamaha Team. He spent the next 5 years on Factory Teams, learning and refining his skills. He started Troll Training alongside his long-time coach, John Wessling, to share the wisdom and knowledge he had acquired throughout his racing career.

FAQs

Do you offer refunds?

Things happen. We do offer refunds or you can choose to put your money towards a future date.

Can I camp overnight at Spring Creek if racing the day before class?

Yes! You are allowed to stay in your campsite or camp the night before.

Is this class only for serious racers?

No, the techniques and fundamentals that we will cover can be applied to every rider’s program from beginner to pro!

I’m worried about my 65/85 rider being on the track with the big bikes.

New for 2024, we will be separating the little bikes and big bikes to offer a more comfortable, safe learning environment. Safety is our primary concern during these events.

i’m a beginner, is this class for me?

Spring Creek is known for its famous whoop section and the hills. If you can navigate these sections safely and with relative ease, feel free to sign up!

What happens if there’s bad weather or its too wet to ride?

In the advent of poor weather we will try our hardest to salvage the track for an effective learning experience with the tools and equipment we have available. If we have to cancel we can apply your $$ towards a future Troll Training riding school. Your credit will not expire!

Is there an age limit?

The 50cc riders are not allowed to ride the main track at Spring Creek due to obvious reasons (The hills) but from 65cc to 450cc we encourage all ages and all skill levels to attend. Whether you are a beginner, long time racer or even a professional there are things to be learned from Alex and his co instructors.

Weeknight sessions

semi-private group sessions during the weekdays from 3-5 pm at Spring Creek on Track 2! The sessions typically consist of a warm-up, sections, sprints, starts, and motos while focusing on the proper technique, bike set-up, and line choice. The track will be prepped and watered. Very few spots are available.
