Colin Edwards Hosts NGM Forward Racing Teammates at Texas Tornado Boot Camp

Colin Edwards played the gracious host, welcoming his NGM Forward Racing teammates to the U.S. with a day of dirt riding at his Texas Tornado Boot Camp.

Edwards’ teammate Aleix Espargaro and Moto2 riders Simone Corsi and Mattia Passini joined other riders at the camp ahead of this weekend’s MotoGP round at Circuit of the Americas.

Also taking part were AMA Grand National Flat Track racer Jake Johnson and AMA Superbike racer Cory West.

Not all the action took place on two wheels. Edwards also took a Mustang out onto the dirt track.

Mattia Pasini races Moto2 bikes for a living but he got a kick out of this Harley-Davidson XR750 flat track racer.

Riding wasn’t all they got to do. Simone Corsi checked out the camp’s gun range.

After a day of fun at Colin Edwards’ camp, the racers now turn their focus to the Grand Prix of the Americas at COTA.
