Video Reviews


One of the methods we use at ThomJonesMX to aid the training is video recordings of your riding which we then upload to YouTube. (with your permission please see signing on document) So you can actually see your riding, So if we are working with you on a certain topic i.e. body position you can see from the videos what your positioning was like before and after and have a better understanding of your riding technique.

Summer Boot Camp


Back in the summer we held a few of our motocross boot camps there was no camping on site, but loads of riding and bike time with around 7 hours of riding each day. There was no sitting around and having friendly chats about how factory your bike looks or sounds. Just lots of riding with enough time to off to refuel the bike and body. This is sort of how our mx skills improvement programme works ,by practising to make it perfect through doing.

Mark moves to Emberson Yamaha for 2009

Mark Jones has settled the speculation over his plans for 2009 by signing to ride for Roy Emberson's Yamaha squad for next year aboard the YZ450F.

The 29year old Welshman, 4th in this years British MX1 series, has agreed a 1 year deal to compete in the British MX1 and make a return to the British 4-Stroke series, along with the British Masters and other selected events. Alongside Jones will be this years 4-stroke champion Wayne Smith, who has re-signed with the squad for 2009, but will move to the MX2 class in the main British series for aboard the YZ250F.

"I'm delighted to sign with the Emberson Yamaha team for 2009" commented Jones after signing the contract at Hawkstone Park this weekend. "You can't fail but be impressed with the team. I think Roy Emberson's outfit with Yamaha have won the British 4-stroke for 3 of the last 4 years, so they have proven track record of success, and are committed to bringing the best out of both the machine and rider. I'm really looking forward to next year"
