Colin Edwards Boot Camp
 

http://www.texastornadobootcamp.com/

I'm taking my husband and daughters this weekend. We leave Thursday for the 4 day camp. Ok, so I'm taking 15 people - half of them are instructors of mine. It is my kind of a team building exercise.

It is all inclusive. They provide everything, including bike, gear, lodging, food, etc. We have been asked to bring halloween costumes for Saturday night. And, Freddy Spencer will be guest instructing.

To say I'm excited is an understatement...

Cost of the wedding aside, these past few days have been the best in my entire 29 year life, if it got anymore awesome, my head would literally explode.


Have fun!

Have fun Azoom!

I want a full report. I'm hope our trackday org can pull off something similar!

you gonna come by ?

or maybe we can come up that way.

have heard nothing but good things about that place. will CE be there?

Ed, we are heading straight there on Thursday. And, might not be home until Monday... They have warned us that hangovers can happen :lol: That is why you should come pick up your bike on Tuesday.

Colin will be there. He will probably not ride, given his physical condition.

yeah, lotsa guns alky and riding, my kinda place........

i'll see what we can do, aprils got 1 party sat. and my sis lives up that way

we live way way south. 45-50mi away

weather should be awesome, but skeeters are out BAD.

Looking like I'm not going to make it. :( I had to fly to NOLA almost a week later than expected because certain people wouldn't get off their arses in time. No way I'd be able to get everything done in time.

Have fun! would love to join you but the wedding and honeymoon took all our money and vacation time for the rest of this year. Next time for sure...

One of my favorite pictures of the weekend. My daughter Jordan, with Colin, shooting his 50 Cal.

how far were ya'll shooting the 50?

200

How cool!!! I've heard he's a really down to earth guy... what was he like?

If you dont mind me asking what was the price to bring the whole group down???

OK, I don't know how I missed this... I just came back to update with pictures.

Down to Earth is one way to put it. Redneck is another :lol: He's spectacular to hang out with. I wish he weren't injured that weekend, though we probably would have flipped his side-by-side if he was healthy.

The price... I have a special relationship with the guys at Colin's camp. We're family. So, I won't talk about what we paid.

That weekend, Freddie Spencer was there with his son. Jonathan Green was also there filming the "this is Boot Camp" commercial. We had another guy floating around getting quotes from people... I just found out why. We're in this month's Sport Rider Magazine:

I HIGHLY recommend going to this school. I don't care if you haven't ever ridden on dirt bikes before. In fact, you might be better off if you haven't. Unless you are REALLY large or REALLY small, they provide everything. You literally need to bring a toothbrush, socks and underwear. They have gear, bikes, food, lodging - EVERYTHING. I walked in, they handed me a gear bag with boots, helmet, goggles, shirt, pants, pads...

It seems expensive. But, for what you get - it's worth the four days of riding with these guys.

I'm going back in May for the Women's weekend. I'm addicted.

May have to look into this. However, I have a number of my things on my "want" list, so it will be awhile before I save up enough money to do this.
I'd probably ride the Strom down there and kill two birds (and several states) with one stone.

WOW! That looks like my kind of fun! Whenever I get some money together I'll have to attend!

I have a few spots open for Boot Camp March 29-April 1. These spots are available for $1100.

Details: Arrive Thursday, camp concludes Sunday afternoon.

It is a truly amazing experience. This is about $1000 off the normal camp price. Let me know if you want in and I'll let you know how to register for that price.

I really hope you have a deal like that going when I have both the time and money available to take advantage of it!!

:eightball6:

OW! OW! OW!......Even though it's a great discount, I think I pulled my wallet muscle! (being broke sucks!)

OK, do any of you have some ladies that want to come to the Women's camp weekend? We have a few spots open - and the discount is incredible.

May 10-13.

I do

I'll throw on a wig and claim to be a woman. :lol:

$500 for the weekend... for her.

I can put on a wig

I already said that

They're both small like girls. Should go unnoticed.

But nobody actually reads what you write

Hi nobody! Since you obviously had to read it to quote and respond. :)

My small girls take offense to that.

Cat Fight!

Werd, should be a fun time, pillow fights, talking girl talk, mani pedi, free breast exams, you know normal girl stuff

For the record, there WAS a pillow fight. [By Colin's request :lol:]

Ok, so full write-up?

:lol

That's some funny shit.

I'm doing a write up for it. I have almost too much video from the weekend. I'm trying to sort through it all. It's a good thing we've cancelled the session today at the track, I might actually get it done.

OK, so life is getting in the way.

I did get a video done. For those that aren't aware, Colin has a son named Hayes. He is this tiny little thing that can't even start his little 50. But, he rides the f out of it. And, has now learned how to f with other riders. :lol: It was SUCH a difference between October and last weekend. I turned on my chest cam because I heard him enter the pavilion... we nicknamed his bike "fury"

He's SO badass.
