SuperMotocross League Teams Up with Motorcycle Mechanics Institute to Discover the Next Generation of Top Mechanics

The path to becoming a factory mechanic on one of the professional Motocross and Supercross teams does not have a well-defined path to follow. In an effort to help grow the ranks and provide a clearer path, SuperMotocross and MMI are teaming up to cultivate the future wrench-turners of these top athletes and teams.

ELLENTON, Fla. (August 1, 2024) – The SuperMotocross League and Motorcycle Mechanics Institute (MMI) are excited to join forces in fostering and developing the next level of championship mechanics. The upcoming SuperMotocross World Championship Finals will see MMI on display in FanFest at both Concord, NC, and Fort Worth, TX, for the first two playoff rounds, along with in-venue features.

Many teams and athletes throughout the SuperMotocross paddock entrust their race bikes to MMI program graduates. Championship contenders like Eli Tomac, Cooper Webb, Ken Roczen, and Levi Kitchen, as well as teams such as Red Bull KTM, Progressive Insurance ECSTAR Suzuki, and BarX Suzuki, rely on MMI graduates to repair and maintain their race bikes throughout a 31-round championship season.

MMI’s Motorcycle Technician Training program covers the essentials for making repairs and maintaining motorcycles and powersports equipment, including ATVs, side-by-sides and personal watercraft. Students apply their knowledge with comprehensive hands-on experience in real-world scenarios to train in areas such as suspension tuning, fuel injection and diagnostics. Aspiring technicians also have the opportunity to elevate their education and earn an associate of occupational studies (AOS) degree at MMI Phoenix or an occupational associate degree (OAD) at MMI Orlando in programs for specific brand combinations.
