INTRODUCTION
You may have heard the words ‘Moto Gymkhana’ crop up in conversation, on social media or at motorcycling events over the last few years, but you weren’t quite sure what it really was. Well it’s time to find out what this latest craze it all about…
What does it mean?
So, what does Moto Gymkhana mean? As you probably guessed, ‘Moto’ is an abbreviation of motorcycle, and ‘Gymkhana’ is a popular event for horse riders usually made up of speed pattern racing and timed games.
Simply, Moto Gymkhana is a time trial sport like no other. It’s all about completing maneuvers around a short circuit that restricted by cones or obstacles against the clock; it’s not all about speed, it’s about control.
It’s perfect for those who are looking to advance their riding skills but want to have fun at the same time. All the skills you learn; from slow speed turning to maneuvering around obstacles can all be applied to your real life riding.
