Honda Motor Europe announces Xtreme academy in Ireland
The Xtreme Academy, which was launched last year, has been expanding throughout Europe and is exclusive to youngsters contesting the CRF150R nationally. The championship, which runs alongside the national series in each country, now extends onto Irish shores with racers battling it out for an special prize fund, recognition as a Honda rider and much, much more.

Based on at least four riders contesting the fourstroke Honda machinery in the big wheel class for the three round Southern Centre Championship, the prize fund offers the chance to win an amazing EUR1,500 to spend at a local dealer along with cool prizes from sponsors One Industries, Airoh, Polisport, No-Toil, Vans, Renthal and Racebikebitz.

The lead Honda rider at each event will also receive a special aw ard and all racers will enjoy recognition on the Honda Pro Racing website, as well as maybe also receiving expert tuition from Xtreme Academy trainer, Brian Jorgensen.

The Xtreme Academy has now branched out into seven countries across Europe and offers a learning environment for the stars of tomorrow to hone their skills as motocross racers. With a substantial prize fund on offer, peer mentoring and support from former GP winner, Jorgensen, it’s a special initiative demonstrating Honda’s commitment to helping youngsters develop as racers. The Irish Xtreme Academy championship kicks off on the 4th of June at South East, Ferns.

Eva C O’Toole: Marketing Manager, Honda Ireland
“We are delighted to be able to offer the Xtreme Academy to the young riders of Ireland. It is great to see so many young people interested in racing and I am confident this programme will showcase a few future professional Irish riders. There is great excit ement about the championship here and all are looking forward to the first event on the 4th June in Ferns.”   

Roger Harvey: Honda Motor Europe Off-Road Manager
“It’s great that the Xtreme Academy is continuing to grow throughout Europe and we can invite more riders to join our programme. Ireland has produced many top-level professional riders in the past, and it’s great that we can provide a platform to recognise Honda riders in the Irish series as well as help them develop as racers. I’m looking forward to working with our colleagues in Ireland to help the Xtreme Academy grow even further over the next few months.”
