ROGER HARVEY INVESTIGATE’S N-GAGE.

ROGER HARVEY PROFILE:
Firstly lets make sure Roger has the credentials to come and investigate: well he did win the British under 21 Championship oh and Won the 125 British Championship, and was fifth in the 125 World Championships, Won the Weston Beach race, he has managed countless race teams, on top of this he has also Coached at the highest level of motocross. WELL I GUESS THAT’S A YES so in his own words:

COACHING, INSTRUCTION AND DEMOS:
The delivery to the riders present on my visit was excellent; time was taken with each rider individually addressing particular issues that the rider has. I felt there was a good balance of firmness and encouragement, with all the riders responding well.
I have to say your riding style and sitting position on the bike is uncannily similar to that of Ed Bradley (we’ll take that as a complement Ed does look pretty cool) you looked neat and tidy.

ATHLETE SUPPORT SERVICES: (nutrition, body conditioning, hydration)
It is this area where a motocross rider lacks knowledge so I see this point as one of N-gage’s greatest strengths for the Pro-rider
There are very few places that a rider can go to get this complete information.

PERFORMANCE MONITORING:
There are several organisations or ex-riders offering training throughout the country but as far as I am aware none conduct performance monitoring over the long term. I am sure improvement in riding ability and speed can be seen in any rider having attended one or several training sessions with a respectable coach (see even Roger says respectable coach’s make you faster)
However to link this improvement to system that monitors performance as well is something very few organisations offer. The expertise usually lies strongly in one area or another riding or physical, rarely both are covered

CONCLUSION:
“Following my day spent with N-Gage it was obvious that they are very serious about rider training, add to this the possibility of long term monitoring and programs covering riders off bike training and nutrition it is a complete package that they are offering. I was really impressed with Prison Farm circuit that N-Gage now have, it was shortly after the recent floods and over 90% of the circuit was usable, most other venues in the UK would have been completely waterlogged.”
