From Rich Lafferty:

For the month of December we have National Enduro Hero, Mike Lafferty as a special guest instructor for our December instructional video clips. Learn from one of the best off-road racers in the country. Mikes racing accomplishments and experience prove that he knows what techniques to practice and how to brake them down into a fundemental drill to practice them. With Mike’s help we are sure you will be on your way to accomplishing your racing goals for 09 season.

We at Rich Lafferty Online Riding Schools beleive that speed is just a bi-product of knowing the fundamentals of off-road riding. With a basic understanding of technique and the use of fundamentals to practice these techniques you acquire better overall bike control and balance which in turn brings you the speed we all desire.

Alot of people practice by just hammering trails or laps, and doing the same bad habit over and over. But we like to work on the fundemental drills of off-road riding which will get you faster in no time and in alot safer manner. Think of it like Football players, when they practice do they just play football………? No they work on the fundememntals of the game.

Once you join you get access to 2 new 2-4 minute video clips per month, access to the 20 plus clips we have since opening back in February, new tips and tricks,email coaching by Rich Lafferty and SPECIAL RACER DISCOUNT PRICES, on KENDA TIRES,ELF OIL,DP BRAKES,RACE TOOLS and PIVOT PEGS.

The course conditions were dry and rocky. “The course was very challenging today, but oddly enough, I think it was the first time I’ve ever had fun riding in Arizona,” commented Lafferty after the race.

Lafferty and Bobbitt both rode well throughout the day. Lafferty worked hard and won the majority of the tests which earned him the overall win. Bobbitt stayed strong and consistent and finished second which secured the championship. “I was happy with my ride today but knew that Russell would have to make some pretty big mistakes to lose the championship. I got the race win, but not the championship. Now I will go home and continue my training to come back and try to win the championship next year,” stated Lafferty.

“I am very excited about this championship. I worked hard all season long and am glad that I was able to have everything come together at the final round. It was a close title chase all year. I am happy for the entire team to earn first and second in the series,” reported Bobbitt.

The race consisted of six special tests but only five were scored after a timing mishap at the first test. Lafferty won two of the five special tests and battled for the lead throughout the day against fellow KTM rider Cole Kirkpatrick.

“The course was very technical due to the large amount of rocks. I struggled in a couple sections but am happy with my ride overall,” commented Lafferty. His teammate, Bobbitt, did not have as good of luck on the cold, desert course. Bobbitt rode a strong race to finish 4th.

In a press release from KTM USA NJ’s own Mike Lafferty was announced as a rider on their 2009 Off-Road team. See release below:

KTM Motorsports is proud to announce the line-up of the 2009 Red Bull KTM Factory Off-Road Teams including WORCS, EnduroCross, Hare and Hound, National Enduro and the GNCC Series.

Beginning with the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS) KTM is pleased to welcome a newcomer to the team, Mike Brown. The 2001 125cc Motocross Champion brings a wealth of experience to the Red Bull KTM WORCS Team with over twenty years riding experience in numerous racing genres including Motocross, Supercross, Arenacross and Grand Prix’s. Returning to the team alongside Brown, is the ever-energetic, Justin Soulé. This will be Soulé’s third year with the Red Bull KTM team where he has been and will remain a podium threat for 2009.

Red Bull KTM Factory Team rider, Taddy Blazusiak will return for a second year to contest the highly-popular EnduroCross Series. The two-time Erzberg Rodeo winner is looking to earn a U.S. title to add to his résumé. Blazusiak won the 2007 Las Vegas EnduroCross final and is currently contending the 2008 series.

In the Hare and Hound (H&H) Series KTM will continue to support the 2007 H&H Champion David Pearson in the second year of his three-year contract with KTM. Pearson is currently sitting on the sidelines after breaking his femur in a practice crash one month ago. Also, returning to the team is Idaho’s David Kamo. Kamo improved dramatically at the end of the 2008 season already earning four podiums before the last round and securing second in championship points.

In the National Enduro Series KTM will support eight-time National Enduro Champion, Mike Lafferty (Millville NJ) and 2006 National Enduro Champion, Russell Bobbitt. The two teammates have been each others closest rival for the last three years and currently sit one and two in the 2008 National Enduro Series points chase.

The Grand National Cross-Country (GNCC) Series will continue to support New York’s Nathan Kanney and will add the 2008 ISDE Team Captain Kurt Caselli. Both riders will compete in the XC-1 class. Kanney who finished on the podium twice so far in the current GNCC Series has steadily improved throughout the season and will be a challenger for the championship in 2009. Caselli, the 2007 AMA Sportsman of the Year and current WORCS Champion will compete alongside Kanney in the highly competitive off-road Series. “I am excited to try another series. My goal is to become the most versatile rider I can be and I believe this series is the next step toward my goal,” commented Caselli.

The 2009 Red Bull KTM Factory Off-Road Team members are “Ready to Race” and look forward to the approach of the 2009 off-road racing season.

As planned, David Knight will return to race in Europe full time but has yet signed with any team.
