With the school summer holidays rapidly drawing to a close, time is running out to have some good old family fun before the school uniforms go back on and it’s time to pose for that annoying pic your mum takes with her smartphone each and every September #ifyouknowyouknow…

By our reckoning the best way to ward off those back to school blues is to spend the weekend going bar-to-bar with your mates on the track and enjoying a couple of nights away camping with your folks. And the best way to do that is head on down to Sellindge in Kent for the final Apico Two-Stroke Festival of the year that runs on August 31/September 1.

As an added incentive to attend, all mini rippers who sign up for the event will be eligible to get free tuition from two of Britain’s top off-road racers who just happen to be racing at the event themselves.

MX fans will need no introduction to either Mel Pocock or Nathan Watson who having been eager beavers themselves in their youth have kindly offered to pass on some trade secrets that helped them get to the top of their game to the next generation!

Both KTM riders will be on hand to give track walks and endless amounts of advice over the course of the weekend with their aim being to help tomorrow’s stars ride faster and safer and have more fun doing it. All this priceless advice comes free as part of the Apico Two-Stroke Festival experience.

So make the right choice and get yourself booked in today. Register riders go here – bit.ly/2Z5ePJ3 – while series newbies need to head here –bit.ly/31S4JIn.
