Trying to remember the name of a riding school...

A few years ago, I remember reading about a dirt bike school that had a tight dirt track and bikes with semi slick tires. It was in eastern US (Virgina maybe?). The point was to learn to feel the slide and manage / control it. I can't seem to conjure up the google-fu to find it again.

Any ideas?
 
Are you thinking of "flat track" racing?

If so, maybe do a search on "flat track school virginia"?
 
There used to be flat track school west of the GTA (sw of hamilton IIRC). Not sure if it still exists. Looked like tons of fun.
 
No, it wasn't flat track. It was a non oval track. No metal plates on your shoe or anything. Like a small dirt track but you had so little traction you had to manage slides all the time. Recall a few journalists going and trying it at the time, and how some MotoGP type racers would go to better come to terms with sliding.

I'll keep searching. Soon I'll have to ask my wife, she finds everything and laughs at my poor search skills...
