FMX CAMP report
For the first time ever a real FMX camp was established by Alvaro Dal Farra and Lorenzo Magnoni, where riders were educated in the A to Z of this sport.
Each day began with motorcyle maintenance and mechanical school led by Lorenz who taught everyone the fundamentals in checking a motorcycle before use and in maintaining it in optimum long term condition.
This was followed by a warm up gymnastics programme led by Alvaro, combined with a session on concentration designed to highlight its importance in achieving optimum riding performance.
Participants then mounted their motorcycles in order to get a feel for their vehicles, they practiced some wheelies and stunts, a few rides around the park, all so that could start jumping from ramps.
A number of technical experts participated in the camp, bringing their own individual expertise to the sport. The suspension specialist Petro Paladino “Pedro” and his support truck Marzocchi instructed everyone in the development and proper operation of motorcycle suspension. Physiotherapist Luca Filippin presented the importance of post trauma rehabilitation and a physical recovery training programme off the motorcycle. The nutritionist Andrea Zanetton and his colleague Gabriella dealt with the importance of correct nutrition in sport and in daily life.
Camp participants certainly followed a specific FMX programme led by true professionals. The results were to say the least excellent, judging by the numbers - 20 riders - who participated in this initiative, and especially by the fact that in one week everyone completely changed their level of riding. Apart from motorcycles, there were also quads and snowmobiles, new disciplines in freestyle sports curated by Da Boot.
The camp was joined during its final days by the Da Boot team, to film for their next video due for release at the end of the year.
A big thanks goes to Silvano Garbini, Lorenzo Magnoni, Pedro Paladino, Luca Filippin, Andrea Zanetton e Gabriella, Pub Col de Ru, Hotel Cavallino Rosso, Max e Josè, and all the participants and spectators that flocked each day to the park to watch the camp.

DA BOOT SUPERPARK by Alvaro Dal Farra
Have you ever thought about riding at a pro FMX park that works perfectly all year round?
Now you easily can, without the stress of thinking about park maintenance – and with a complete package of side services at your disposal. There’s quiet and convenient accommodation nearby, with all the comforts and amenities to make your training time comfortable and stress free.
Alvaro Dal Farra can now make it happen for any aspiring FMX riders wanting to step up to the next level!
Whoever wants to train and shoot at the perfect location, can take advantage of Alvaro’s many years of experience as a pro rider and park shaper, along with having access to his professional staff. Additional specialist rider coaching as well as bike maintenance instruction from a top Pro mechanic are available on site.
The idea of DA BOOT SUPERPARK is to give pro riders the possibility of training in a complete and fully-equipped location to push and improve their level in this sport.
The FMX park was established in 2005 when Alvaro Dal Farra needed a place to train and develop his riding. Now there has been the opportunity to improve & expand this park, opening the door to more and more riders.
The park is open 365 days a year as it’s placed inside a private pit, allowing daily fine-tuning and reshaping if needed. The base dirt is very sandy allowing water to drain, meaning riders are able to jump within 10 minutes after a rain storm. The top layer of soil is perfect for shaping and remains smooth right through the winter.
We even tested it with snow when the DaBoot team took advantage snowy conditions for a successful film shoot in an amazing and fresh environment.
Da Boot Superpark gives riders a complete service:
A pro level FMX training park
Good value accommodation in fully equipped self catering apartments or at the nearby Hotel
A great local restaurant with a sport and FMX-rider friendly menu just 2km from the park
A mechanic always at their disposal
Several leisure activities in the area (including snowboarding in the winter months)

Last week we saw Limana, Rovigo and Busto Garolfo events:
Limana (Belluno):
great success and a lot of public. This time the Alvaro Invitational
was cancelled, so all Belluno people went to Limana to watch an all
italian demo; DaBoot riders rode in a very good show! There were
Alve, Zironi, Poggiana, Toninello and Grigollo: the crowd was really
stocked about the good riding, especially for the powerful performance
of Alvaro, that the last year can't take part to the Invitational for
an injury.
After a few days DaBoot was in a freestyle event in Rovigo,
with skateboarding, snowboarding, music and obiouvsly Fmx. A good
venue, with party and extreme sports, held by Fabbris car retailer for
fun but also to present the new 500 cabrio.
After Rovigo Alve, Carlo and Jonny moved to Busto Garolfo (Milano)
for a demo organized by the city Milan club: a mix of soccer, party and
fmx. The three DaBoot musketeers gave all of theirself, and
public was enthusiastic to see a show their never expected.
Now Alvaro is packing his things for a long Russian tourné,
from July 26 toAugust 17, with the friend Vanni. They'll ride in six
shows, in six different city; Docks video will be there, with Alberto
Accettulli filming the whole trip. So, we'll see!
