Gallagher, will lead this year's Yamaha Racing
ATV instructors, including XC1 riders Walker Fowler,
Jeff Pickens, Gabe Phillips and 9-time GNCC Women's

"Our team feels so fortunate to be a part
of GNCC University at Snowshoe Resort for the
fifth year in a row," said Randy Hawkins.
"We enjoy spending time with students one-on-one
and in a group setting in order to teach them
the elements of woods racing and most importantly
to have some fun."
The panel of professional instructors will head
several groups of students according to bike size
and riding level to ensure each student is learning
with a group similar to his/her riding ability.
Students will learn proper navigation of up hills,
down hills, grass tracks, woods, rocks and mud,
as well as how to handle competitive starts. Students
will also participate in lectures about sportsmanship,
training, nutrition and mental preparation.
Reservations are on a first-come first-serve
basis as there are only 40 spots each for both
the bike and ATV disciplines - totaling 80 spots.
Students must provide their own equipment and
be at least 8 years of age, and machines must
be 85cc or larger.
GNCC University is in session from June 26-28,
2013. Tuition, room and board-including meals
throughout the school is $470 per student. Registration
is now open through Snowshoe Mountain Resort.
