Motocross riding is a seriously fun affair. Just ask any professional rider and they’ll tell you the same thing. And it seems that the Most Fun Gym motocross park in Sungai Penchala aims to bring that fun closer to all.

Opened sometime last year, Most Fun Gym (or MFG for short) is owned and operated by 63-year-old Oh Kah Beng. If the name sounds familiar to you, Kah Beng is in fact a living legend in the local motorcycle racing scene having raced two-stroke GP bikes back in the day – a story we’ll save for later.

“When I was offered this piece of land by the owners, they told me to turn it into fun place for all. Naturally, knowing that some of the most popular motocross paths are too far away from the city, I saw this unique opportunity,” said Kah Beng as he explained how the idea and concept of MFG got off the ground.

Tucked away up in the green hills of Sungai Penchala (near Damansara and TTDI), the premise is any motocross rider’s dream. The best part? MFG welcomes all walks of life regardless of skill level and age to come and try it out.

In other words, both novices and seasoned riders alike are welcomed here. Here’s what you ought to know about this dirt-busting haven.

The course
MFG features three separate course layous. First comes a short ‘Beginner’ track that’s comprises of a near-flat figure-8 layout. Next comes the slightly longer ‘Intermediate’ layout that features small jumps and banked dirt corners.

The third layout, which is the ‘Advance’ layout, is reserved for those who have passed the first two courses and for highly experienced MX riders. As you can see from the featured video, the jumps here high and will easily sate any avid MX rider’s appetite for some ‘airtime’.

Coaching classes
Novices can sign up for any of the three coaching packages available. First of which here is a basic two-hour trial lesson that costs RM300. Next to it is MFG’s five-hour long plan that’s split into two sessions across two days – one session per day. This is priced at RM600 (price based on KX bikes).

But if you seek the proper and full experience, MFG also offers an eight-session package. Each session lasts for two hours, and this package costing just RM1,600 in its entirety.

Kah Beng himself will conduct the classes. Our junior editor recently had a go with his first trial lesson and, without any doubts, the retired national GP bike champion is one effective coach indeed.

Coaching Package Duration Price Per Pax
Trial / Pay n Play 2 Hours RM300 (KX) / RM350 (YZ125)
Basic 5 Hours RM600 (KX) / RM700 (YZ125)
Full 16 Hours (2 Hours x8) RM1,600 (KX) / RM2,000 (YZ125)

BR_MFG_Feature_-9According to Kah Beng, the only pre-requisite here is that participant must know how to ride a bicycle at least. In short, MFG welcomes even the most greenest of novices to sign up for MX riding lessons in its premises.

And just before you think these classes are for newbies or the young only, Kah Beng reminded, “For veteran or experienced riders alike, it is always good to go a ‘refresher’ course once a while, and this is something we can provide as well.”

As far as age in concerned, the park welcomes riders from as young as six years old. Believe or not, MFG recently welcomed a 75-year-old grandmother as one of its newest members, and she’s living proof that you’re never too old to get started with MX riding.

Kah Beng further adds, “Dirt-riding isn’t just fun, it’s the best way to improve your riding skills too. If you can master riding on dirt, then riding on the road or track will be a cinch!”

Gears – rentals and retail

The only requirement here is that all participants must wear long jeans, ankle-high sports shoes and a long-sleeve top made of tee-shirt material. We recommend high-socks to go along with those shoes and perhaps investing in a proper MX dri-fit jersey.

Should you wish to buy your own MX gears instead, then you’d be glad to know that MFG also acts as a retailer for several brands such as Shark helmets and Furygan apparels.
