(Splendora, Texas) - In the last couple of years the level of competition in ATV racing has increased dramatically due in part to the manufacturers stepping up and offering more factory deals than ever. With so much at stake now, instead of taking it easy during the winter months, many racers who are located in colder areas of the country, such as Chad Wienen and John Natalie, are opting to spend the winter in the warmer climates of Texas, California, and Florida in order to train and get a jump on the competition for the next season.

The increase in competition is not limited to just the Pro racers. Amateur racers who are hoping to one day make a career of racing, are feeling the pressures of stepping up their game as well. Many are seeking out riding schools and training programs during the off season that offer them the opportunity to get into a good training routine and improve their skills, strength and endurance like the program created by Dee Manshack at the Splendora Motocross Park in Splendora, TX.

Dee Manshack has been involved with ATV’s and racing since he was just a kid. Now he is taking his years of experience and knowledge and has created his own training program for ATV racers. Dee is most noted for his work with John Natalie, Jr. and most recently, Chad Wienen, who had his most successful season to date at the 2007 WPSA thanks in part to Dee’s training program.

The training program is focused on building endurance and strength. “We do a lot of cardio training and exercises to build up strength. We help riders isolate their weaknesses and work on those. We also try to teach the riders how to use their strength the right way and flow with the bike when they’re out on the track,” said Dee in regards to his programs’ main focus.

Most of the training offered is one-on-one, but during the winter months, there can be as many as 25-30 riders at the facility who are trying to escape the colder northern climates in order to prepare for the up-coming season. “We usually get a few pro riders down here in the winter months which is really good for these guys who are in the program because these kids get to come down here and see the pros ride and learn from them,” said Dee.

Dee also gets help from some of his more advanced students that are at the facility as well. “Tommy Hagar has been down here for a while and he’s got a pretty good routine going, so he helps out and takes some of the other riders out and works with them,” Dee stated. “Dee is pretty ruthless,” Hagar said with a laugh. “I came down here in November and was the only guy here. He had me working out three times a day, but Dee’s program is really good and it does help a lot,” concluded Tommy.
