Welcome to the website of Leon Giesbers MX Training.

THE site for MX training, for young and old!

My name is Leon Giesbers, born at September 8, 1973. At the age of five I started with motocross. At the age of ten I started to compete in races. Starting from the age of sixteen, I also competed in the European Championships and at the age of eighteen I joined the World Championship Grand Prix circus. At that point in my career I became a professional MX rider. At the moment I arrange MX training sessions for the young and old, on behalf of the F.I.M. and the K.N.M.V., the Dutch MX Association, as well as personal training sessions.

During my active MX career I was Dutch Champion during six seasons, including two youth titles. During this period I also won the Dutch Grand Prix 500cc in 1996 at Lierop. Beside this I also was a regular member of the Dutch team for the Motocross Des Nations.

In the 2000 season I had a big crash during the Grand Prix of Spain, in which I was injured very badly. After numerous surgical operations I did try to return on the highest level up to the end of 2002. My injury was of such a kind that this appeared to be impossible.

During 2002 I received an offer from the F.I.M., through Mr. Dorna. I decided to enter this new direction into Motocross. The F.I.M. asked me to arrange MX training sessions for the CMS academy. This is why I now arrange MX training sessions for the CMS Academy under supervision of the F.I.M..

In the year 2003 I have become national coach for the Royal Dutch Motorriders Association (K.N.M.V.), together with John van den Berk. Beside this I also accompany the European Championships team in the 85cc and 125cc classes. This is based on the youth-plan of the K.N.M.V..

I would like to call your special attention to the pages under training camp. I arrange training camps on a regular basis (both nationally and internationally based), for both young and old riders. My experiences tell me that just after the start of the registration period, these sessions are fully booked. So be quick!

Beside this I also give personal training sessions, and arrange training for groups of riders. See also training. This leaves me with the wish for you, to enjoy reading these pages. I would be pleased to meet you at motocross tracks around the world! Leon Giesbers
