We came, we saw, we rode dirt with some of the UKs best dirt track riders & racers, learned a few MX skills, jumped dirt jumps, camped out , hung out around a bonfire, met old friends & met a few new ones as well, all at the amazing Greenfield Dirt Track facility in Lincolnshire...... This was DIRT CAMP 2018!

Started in 2015 by The Dirt Track Rider Association as an initiative to get more women into flat track & ultimately racing in the DTRA series, DIRT CAMP has now grown into a weekend full of everything from complete learners jumping on a bike for the first time, advice & lessons from some of the UKs leading flat track racers (including the Incredible Leah Tokelove) about how to go fast & turn left, MX skills & enduro riding.

DTRA LADIES FLAT TRACK DAY

Start slow, go in circles, crash a bit, pick up yourself up, pick up speed, crash a bit more, put on steel shoe, hop on a 450, pray to God, look straight, throttle back, go fast and turn left........
What an amazing day at the first DTRA ladies flat track event at Rye house speedway. There were smiles all round (even when some corners ended in eating dirt), new friends made and some inspired ladies running home to buy more kit for the next one ....now excuse me whilst I go look on eBay for a flat track bike. 

A special thanks to @cobuilt_anthony,  @leahtokove37 .... And all the gang at the DTRA
