Walk to the front of the Arena and you’ll see the stairs leading to the Upper Lot. FORMATION RIDING INTRO We invite all interested riders to join us to learn about building drill teams, then experiencing the steps in developing a riding unit–soon to be a team–and riding the basic maneuvers as a team. If the new riders do well enough that first day, and are willing to practice two or three times during WD, we could potentially showcase their accomplishments during the Drill Team Performances. Ten to 15 minutes of introduction plus riding practice could be enough time to prove that a team can get off the ground much easier than most realize. Perfection will and does take much longer, and that is where the fun will continue. This knowledge and the contacts you will make can be taken home with you to begin a new local Drill Team, or let you know what it takes to join an established team. TOP GUN The Top Gun competition provides for a great test of rider skills. Last year we announced and began a new trend of bringing new skills to replace some established skills to every Wing Ding; a true challenge for riders. And—new and exciting this year—we have expanded the competition to be a continuous course for the rider. No more stop, park, wait! The competition is structured around the course skills, with each score based on point deductions. Competitors will participate in braking, slow ride, cone weave, U-turns, swerving and other challenges to test your skill at balance and navigation. All exercises are low speed with a focus on handling capabilities. There have been contestants who have “aced” the course in the past, and we may see it again this year. Full proper riding gear is required to participate.Awards will be presented in GL1500, GL1800, Open and the new “Over 65” categories, and at three skill levels: Advanced, WD17 WD38_Spotlight_draft.indd 17 Expert, and two new divisions: Over 65 and Pro Division. Pro division is for experienced riders who want the most challenging course and it will be mandatory for all major event winners, present and past. If you’re up to competing with the elite riders, the gauntlet is thrown! Awards will be presented at the end of competition. AMAZING TEAM CHALLENGE This event is a riding challenge open to teams and individuals. It’s a timed, competitive event that involves a straightaway, right and left turns, a couple of 360° circles, a cone weave, stopping in a box after a timed run, and a lot of FUN. This event is open to all levels of ability. It can be easy for the novice rider and humbling for the most advanced rider. FULL PROPER RIDING GEAR IS REQUIRED. Riders of both two-wheelers and trikes are invited to compete in these fun exercises. If you have not seen this event or participated in it, this is an outstanding opportunity to practice your riding skills and have fun. Our sincere thanks are extended to all the volunteers who make this happen! DRILL TEAMS On September 3, Wing Ding delegates will be treated to performances by precision Drill Teams from both the U.S. and Canada. The precision riding will amaze and entertain you! RIDER EDUCATION CLASSES For other Rider Education Seminars and Meetings, please see the “Seminar & Meeting Schedule” in the Rider Education booth or online at www.wing-ding.org.

During the rider course training, we will provide approximately 100 hours of instruction, 36 hours of CPR/First Aid training, and 40 hours of educational seminars.

Dirt builds up and traps moisture. Next thing, corrosion starts. S100® Total Cycle Cleaner is the answer. Its creeping power can get to places you can’t reach or even see. Then its penetrating action zaps even the toughest stains. (It’s even got a corrosion inhibitor so it washes safely.) Ordinary washes and cleaners can’t do all that! No wonder it’s been the favorite of bike makers themselves for over a generation. Protect your expensive investment with the best cleaning it can get! Find it at better bike shops.
