“THE BEST age to learn motocross is between six to seven years old.”
That’s the opinion of Kenneth San Andres, a multi-titled pro motocross rider and head of the Cleanfuel Motocross Park, an adventure trail venue in Silang, Cavite. San Andres — son of former motocross rider Jun — started racing himself at a very young age, and at the motocross park, “we allow them to acquire the right perspective to ensure we are creating safer and smarter riders.”
The park’s president, Bong Suntay, added, “Our goal in building the Cleanfuel Motocross Park is to create a safe and comfortable place for kids to learn the sport.”
While there are multiple motocross racing venues outside of Manila, Suntay said that this park stands out because of its air-conditioned training rooms, shower rooms for riders, family lounges, and a “well-planned and safe track.”
“This outdoor recreational park for two-wheels will serve as the training grounds for young riders who are into Motocross,” Suntay said.
Cleanfuel Motocross Park is also holding its first Motocross Invitational Series, with the aim of developing young amateur riders into possible contenders for the national championships.
