Honda PH partners with JMS Motocross School to promote competitive racing, off-road riding

Honda Philippines, Inc., (HPI) has forged a partnership with JMS Motocross School in its bid to support the growing off-road riding segment locally.

As part of the collaboration, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer’s local arm handed over the keys of CRF models to the country’s premier motocross school to be used in teaching riders how to properly ride dirt bikes. These are the CRF150L, CRF300L, CRF250RX and CRF450R Works Edition.

“Everything we do at HPI revolves around the single idea of sharing the joy of mobility. We hope that through this partnership with JMS Motocross School, more people will discover the value of that principle by experiencing the excitement of off-road riding in a safe environment,” HPI MC Planning Department Manager Hervic Villa said.

During the turnover ceremony, JMS Motocross School owner Jovie Saulog expressed gratitude over trust that HPI gave to his school, sharing that his school is sharing the passion for riding to children as young as two years old.

“The CRFs are the best bikes for starters, veterans, amateurs, and professionals,” Saulog noted. “I have been using Honda CR125 and CR250 since the two-stroke days in 1985, and the CRF250 and CRF450 — the start of the Honda four-stroke — in 2002 up to now,” he added.

To those who are not familiar with the motocross scene, Saulog established JMS Motocross School in the 1990s — the first of its kind in the country at that time.

The same institution that teaches competitive racing and leisure riding also fields a racing team that actively participates in various events all over the country. Without naming names, Saulog said that he taught students to become national and international champions.

“There are a lot of good motocross riders in the Philippines, making motocross a very competitive sport,” he says. “You can improve your skills and riding using a CRF by enrolling to JMS-Honda Motocross School.”
