Motocross deal of his life

Today, when there are tutorials on the American motocross Simex, Tortelli stuffed French, Belgian Everts, many people do not know that the very first in the world who have scientific proof of training riders, was JI Trofimets. After all, he had not been a single book, where a generalized experience of motorcycling training, which were given accurate advice and, most importantly, how to teach future motokrossmena. Even the same Simex in their video films referred to the Jury Ignatievitch.He was born in 1925 in Priluki. Then, before the war, there were very few motorcycles, but his neighbor was the proud owner of the old-old motorcycle with another belt drive, which could make only "a pusher", and the Jura with the boys was one of the most enterprising "pushers." But then it was a great joy to ride in the back ... In the evenings, he dreamed that one day it will be possible to construct such motorcycles that can fly ... Even then, Yura became seriously get involved in technology, to issue the magazine "the wheel" and the scheme of repair vehicles and equipment "Book -Mail. " He was then struck by a report that set a speed record - 450 km / hour in a car with two aircraft engines. Know when to that during the war, he gets to the plant, "Horch", and the factory museum will see the same record car ... On the same day his commanding officer would get a trophy for him (but new!) DKW motorcycle designed for Africa. And from that moment on with motorcycles, he shall not be separated ... In 1947, Yuri participated in his first race in Lviv. During the 14 years he as a soldier, played for the motor-team of the house officers in Lviv, where he became a multiple champion of Ukraine (from 1952 to 60 years). He was particularly fond of the winter cross-country race. At the national championship in 1955 in a class of 350 cm3 Trofimets Yuri won the silver medal.

At the same time he coached athletes, among whom was the "legendary" Igor Grigoriev. Merit Trofimtsa noticed and invited to become coach of the Soviet Union. And even given an apartment in Moscow, but there were problems with registration - just at this time, Khrushchev spent the next cleaning. And then he was asked to become a coach at the discretion of the in Izhevsk Motor Plant or Kovrov. He chose the carpet. It was there that he was completely exposed as a coach - for six years, he produced 12 new champions and winners of the USSR (including Kavina, red-cheeked, Tyurin, Petrov, Varabin and others)! This has not been, and probably not soon will be!

His workouts were different from those commonly used. Athletes went to the rear wheel on the "snake", which developed the sense of coordination. That there is a night ride on icy winter road in the dark glasses - to develop a sense of the route for riders. At each athlete was wound up journal, where all was fixed, especially the physical condition, so as a coach, he knew when the athlete peak, and when the recession. Bakhirev V., in 1968, the Minister of Machine Building of USSR, and at that time director of the plant, seeing the results, asked a group of test bikes "Kovrovec." Then Yuri Ignatievich invented his famous special selection system - velotesty. Then what happened! Almost all of Carpets went to the rear wheel, preparing for the weekly start, there was even coined a challenge cup for the best cyclist of the city! At the same time, Yuri Ignatievich improved engines - if the serial engine 125 cm3 gave 10 hp, after his intervention, he showed the 16 hp

After leaving the post of Minister Bakhireva, Trofimets in 1967 (at the invitation of the Federation of Motor Sports of Ukraine) moved to Kiev, to the position of instructor of the Central Committee of DOSAAF. The main methodological work rested on his shoulders, and at the same time he published his first book, "Preparation of riders," which is unique in the world until now. His books are different scientific approach and is based on practice during the competition, fees Adler and Sukhumi, where there were medical specialists in cardiology, nutrition.According to Y. Trofimtsa in motocross in the first place is prepared by a trained athlete, in second place - suspension bike, its suspension and balance of the bike, the third - the weight of the bike (the smaller the better), and only the fourth power of the engine. And all this is confirmed by years of research and examples! Swede Hallman on a purely production engines became four times champion of the world. Vladimir Kavina, winner of the World Championship in Czechoslovakia, said after the victory of the engine "does not pull," and when he checked on the stand, the power was only 14 hp instead of 32 hp But Vladimir, without knowing it, has managed to win two of arrival! In another case, a driver B. Dinaburg, experiencing a motorcycle "Kovrovets-125," a race rode on the engine capacity 19 hp, and then set up on his motorcycle petal valve, which lifted the engine power by 5 hp But the most surprising result is that the lap times did not improve!6A very interesting case, explaining how our riders move on KTM motorcycles. After the accident happened V. Kavinovu ride on it, the plant met with representatives of Ipatenko AV (TSAMK chief for 14 years) and Trofimtsom Y. Commercial Director of KTM Lechner (which in 1952 took part in an international cross-country race in Tbilisi) proposed to test motorcycles during the World Cup. Ipatenko AV, knowing that the Soviet Union contacts with capitalist countries are not welcome, he began to be cautious, and asked for tests to bring the bikes to the Caucasus.

Trofimets, realizing that such an approach may be deposited on the possibility of cooperation for a long time, and since the war, knowing German, translated as: "Yes, well, bring to the next stage." Two weeks later, Yuri Ignatievich, stopping on the track in Holland, just saw the trailer brand new KTM, I realized that it was the Austrians brought the bike to the test. Czechs saw it, very agitated, and Trofimets that they do not disturb, the boys rode into the forest, where clearings have been there and tried out the bike, and were satisfied.

It was decided that the first half of the workout Kavina rode the CZ and the other on the KTM. As a result, Vladimir on the KTM at the end of training showed the time to eight seconds better than the multiple world champion Joel Robert. We started the evening call to Moscow with a pay phone, which was in the hotel lobby, and were negotiating all night from the hotel, and the Czechs stood by and listened. And then there's the bike and CZ Moses, who was standing on the trailer near the hotel, was stolen. In the morning the police found traces of the truck, which is probably overloaded bike. Came the representative of the Embassy of Czechoslovakia, and very indignant, threatened, that the break in relations "they put party cards", accusing Y. Trofimtsa in cahoots with the KTM. But Moscow is allowed to pass Kavinovu stage at MWC, and Vladimir by far won two of arrival.

Joel Robert faded and swelled the Czechs ... The following weekend in the city of eradication took place in a class of non-championship 500 cm3. And there brought the bike KTM 250 cm3 and Kavina it won all three of arrival in the class of 500 cm3 of the stars of the time - Roger De Coster and Heikki Mikkola. And then it became obvious that a mutually beneficial contract with KTM: Team gets good bikes, and money goes into the treasury of the motherland. Broke out very good friendly relations with the plant, after which for many years at the main entrance hung a Soviet flag. And it is in Austria, the birthplace of Hitler! At one time, even negotiated to open a joint production of IL-motorcycles KTM in Izhevsk. When they (and Trofimets Kavina) came to the factory KTM, they personally met the owner of the firm of E. Trunkenpolts and always selil them at home - very much he liked riding Kavinova. But, unfortunately, the case of the customs crossed career of Vladimir the world for three years. In Vyborg, when crossing the border, out of nowhere, there was a woman Tamozhnikov, opened the first got a suitcase, and it was a suitcase Kavinova, and from there dropped the wallet, but it Komsomol card, and ... (oh, horror!) One hundred dollars is not declared ! After that, all the custom was to check our team, and here and Alexei Kibirin "joke", saying: "But still can not find!". After that, even in the car door dismantled ... A Kavinovu for this violation was barred from traveling abroad for three years ...

For all the time to work through "hands" Yuri Ignatievitch Trofimtsa were such famous motokrossmeny as: Grigoriev, Varabin, Tyurin, red-cheeked, Petrov, Cockerels, Valiev, Kralinin, Kavina, Moses Kibirin, Gorulko, Yakovlev, Ageev, Ovchinnikov, Levans. But after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he began to train at different times, Estonians Avo, Aigars, Taniel Leok, Romanian Raduta, brothers Nicholas and Michael of Moldavia Kochu, Grimalskogo, Goncharov, Dunovicha, Ukrainians Paschinskih, Rudenko, Mayboru, Voytsitskogo, Mahankova, Burenko. And during our conversation, Yuri Ignatievich, glancing at his watch and hurried to the gym.In parting, when I photographed him, he asked: "Do you know how to decipher the KTM?" I said - it is the founders of the plant and Kronreyf Trunkenpolts in Mattigofene. He laughed and said that the MWC - is Kavina, Trofimets, Moses. Yes, indeed, KTM has created a beautiful bike, and Kavina, Trofimets and Moiseev wins at the World Championships made him famous all over the world, giving him worldwide fame, and then hide the enormous publicity.
When asked Yuri Ignatyevich, who, from his point of view, the greatest motokrossmeny world, he replied: "Joel Robert was a very technical one hand, and on the other hand - the sloven, however, as Mikkola. A Hallmann could never catch up on the bar, but, nevertheless, this did not prevent him to become a four-time world champion. Kavina, not getting into this trouble, he could become a multiple world champion, since he had an absolute self-control, and even during the arrival, all he could calculate how many points he earned, and how many rivals. And, of course, Gennady Moiseev, who by their labor and fanaticism in motorsport achieved the rank of three-time world champion. "
