DA8 Training

I’m so excited about this 3-day camp!!! It’s been a while since I’ve put on an all women’s camp and teaming up with the Babes in the Dirt was perfect to bring it back to Arizona.
——————————————————————————————————
DA8 Experience rides are a completely new experience. The focus for DA8 Experience rides is all about fun, safety, camaraderie and enjoying the freedom and thrill that off-road motorcycles can bring. Each day will consist of 5-7 hours of riding in some of the best terrain Arizona has on offer with 2 full days of training and one hell of a trail ride day 3 awaits!

Some additional details:
* This DA8 Experience ride is intended for novice (B level in terms of riding skill). Riders should be comfortable riding single-track trails, be able to handle moderate climbs, descents and be comfortable in rocky conditions (we are in AZ after all). The terrain will be a mix of fun single track, double track, sand wash and other offroad conditions here in the Southwest.
* This experience ride will be limited to just 8-12 riders, so sign-up asap to lock in your spot
* Riders are welcome to bring their own fully prepped motorcycle or we do offer fully prepped KTM motorcycle rentals (additional cost) for the ultimate in convenience
* Each day will start with breakfast at the Destry compound before heading out for the ride.
* Lunch will be provided on the trail at a meeting point, where the DA8 staff will meet us (along with tools and parts if needed).
* Dinner will be provided Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening.
* Additional night's stay can be available for an additional fee (please let us know in advance) by emailing [email protected]
* Bring your riding/safety gear, hydration pack (a must for AZ), your great attitude and either your well prepped bike (or rent ours!)
* Each day we will all drive out to staging area (20-25 min drive) in our own vehicles with our dirt bikes. From there we will help each other unload + get ready + start the day! After each session, we help each other load up and head back to the Destry compound to shower, hang, and play some "pickleball". Tournament anyone?

Accommodations Included (Abbott Acres):
* Fully furnished guest house with two bedrooms (2 queen beds, 1 king bed)
* Apartment with two queen beds, living room, kitchen, etc..
* Casita with two queen beds, kitchenette (more like a nice hotel room, but with a fridge and microwave, etc.).
* Two guest bedrooms in the main house (both king beds).

Destry Abbott Babes in the Dirt

We’re excited to say that Destry Abbott and Cooper Abbott officially sold out our Dec 5–7 DA8/CA12 Nitro Circus 3-Day Experience!

We’ve got an awesome group lined up and can’t wait to spend a few great days riding and hanging out together.

Up next — I’ll be hosting my third annual DA8 SX Experience, happening Feb 6–8 here in Phoenix. This event is always a blast, and we get to experience some really cool behind-the-scenes action at the SX races that not many people ever get to see.

More info coming soon — stay tuned! 🔥💪

Here's some awesome photos this past week during our DA8 Training class up in Idaho Falls, ID. Cooper Abbott always does such a great job helping the riders and we were lucky enough to have Cody Miller helping us out too. We love seeing the series grow and one of the biggest rider entries in a long time. Thank you again Jack Jaxson for the great photos. CM Parts Destry Abbott EnduroCross Cooper and I have quite a few more EX classes we'll be doing in Oregon, Nevada, and Washington. Then we have some 3-day experience rides in AZ you don't want to miss.

I just listed our guest house again and it’s on Airbnb. Super nice place Charlotte did and I’m for sure going to try and keep our 5 star rating we’ve had the last couple years. This was her baby and she loved making everyone happy, so she wouldn’t be happy if I don’t keep it going. If you need a shop and garage for riders or if you’re not into that, there’s a lot of great stores, shops, and restaurants close by. It’s a really nice area and riding spots are within 20-minutes. The link is in the comments. For you riders, I do let you use my power washer etc to help make it easier too.
