The Garage Manual

The Garage Manual is a dirt bike 'how to' book created to help advancing 'do it yourself' riders in the areas of bike maintenance, setup, motocross fitness and the basic riding techniques. It will provide a platform for learner riders to develop and progress from.

To become a good rider you need to fit all the pieces of the puzzle together. This book will help you do that by showing you how to increase your fitness levels, improve your bike skills and keep a well maintained, smooth running dirt bike.

Some of the things covered are..

The basic, but fundamental riding techniques that the good guys use.
Step by step maintenance "how to" guides for doing your own repairs. Photos included to make it easy to understand. (This does not cover engine repairs/rebuilds etc.)
Tips on what to look for when buying a used dirt bike including how to get the best resale price when selling.
How to build MX tracks. The fundamentals of getting it right without without wasting unnecessary hours and money.
Bike-specific fitness training programs complete with links to videos that you can use to improve your strength, stamina, reflexes, general well being and therefore overall riding ability. Written by my close friend Peter Bristow from B3 Training. He has been a self employed personal trainer for over 10 years and knows how to transform bodies with solid results. These programs alone are worth more than the price of this book!
Maintenance charts to keep you on top of necessary repairs and general services to get the most out of your bike.

There's loads of great stuff crammed into this book that can save you money, wasted time and stress, and in the process help you become a better all-round rider. I've put everything I could think of into this with the aim of providing beginner to intermediate riders something that will help you progress in this exciting sport.
