Crump and Caslick launch new motorcycle academy

World speedway champion Jason Crump and motorcycle legend Paul Caslick plan to nurture Australia’s two wheel talent with the launch of The Australian Motorcycle Racing Academy.

The partnership, in liaison with Motorcycling Australia and The Australian Institute of Sport, is the first of its kind and calibre in the country.

The Australian Motorcycle Racing Academy aims to be the ultimate training facility for aspiring riders hoping to achieve success at the highest level in racing on a world stage.

As accredited Motorcycling Australia coaches, three times world champion Crump and the experienced Caslick plan to help riders of all abilities.

“The objective of the Australian Motorcycle Racing Academy is to take Australian Motorcycle Racing to its highest level ever,” said Crump.

“This is the first academy of it’s kind in Australia and both Paul and myself want to share our knowledge with the future generation of riders to ensure the highest level of talent for the years to come.”

With over 30 years of racing and riding experience, Caslick has developed and perfected his motorcycle education courses to provide the full package for all participants.

“We have integrated a system into the Australian Motorcycle Racing Academy designed to help riders improve their health, strength and conditioning as well as psychological capacities which are combined with specific on bike training to increase speed and control,” said Caslick.

“On-track safety considerations and techniques are also taught to gain the most from ride days as well as racing conditions and situations.”

Three-time World Superbike champion Troy Bayliss has also thrown his weight behind the scheme.

“It’s great to see this academy coming together so strongly,” said Bayliss.

“I have a lot of respect for Jason, we feed off each other and I’ve learnt from him as has my son Oli and sometimes fathers aren’t always the best teachers so it’s great to have this academy for young riders.”

Both Crump and Caslick will be competing in the Troy Bayliss Classic meeting at Taree this weekend.
