maybe, maybe Not, here is a piece of a letter from one of my Students
"I took the class this past Saturday at Howard county community college. I am a relatively new rider and have been riding for about a year. I have had great teachers and have been a decent enough rider for the amount of...
So many people tell you to "Be Smooth" ok, I'll bite, what does that mean?
Instead of telling someone to be smooth give them the tools to be smooth, show them the things they can control, how to control them and they will become smooth. It starts with Vision, Throttle and brakes, and moves...
I have been to trail tours for the Trials class, but on that note I would have taken my own bike if I had a trials bike. I did take my CRF for riding after I was done with the class. Did some amazing trail riding as the area is so huge.
I also agree with your last statement, you cant see...
There are one day classes around (I think in your area) and for those that are not near a dedicated program what about one on one private sessions, those can be tailored to your time, location and schedule?
Thanks Suzuki2000
I am not trying to sell any class or program here with this thread, but to answer your questions, Every class I teach, spectators are more than welcome, I only ask that you do not interfer with the class or the coaching, and I will always do my best to answer questions.
I am...
I have and continue to take classes and learn more, If you really want to know I took a Trials bike class in Ontario last year, Also took a track day class in Indiana Last fall and am trying to get into a program in the South for next year.
Again this is not about ME, I am trying to determine...
This bothers me as well. Here is seems riders who can complete the Basic Course are fully qualified to teach it and some times (More than I like to admit) we have riders with "basic Skills" teaching new riders. To me this is like having someone who graduated the third grade now teaching next...
This will depend on what training you choose and what that entails. In this area it is up to each individual to search out what they want and find what will work for them. So back to the question.
We worry about the Time the training takes, or the cost, but we dont seem to worry about the time...
Me? I am not a top racer, although I have learned from a few. You need to think of it like this, most professional sports players are great players but NOT good coaches? Why because it takes different things to be a coach. Even Tiger woods has a coach, you never heard of him, his job is to make...
I think the greatest good obtaining from periodic training, both refresher and new content, is simply the attitude fostered while taking a class. You're there to become a better rider. You're consciously trying new things or trying to further perfect old skills. Of course you can do those...
In my Free time I teach all types of motorsports at many levels, Dirt, Street, Track etc. I have been involved in Motorsports Education for 20 years and over the years I have noticed it has always been very difficult to get riders to participate or take any type of training once they learn how...
You want to get the most for your money? Take the Total Control Class FIRST, then a track Day. I did and it gave me such a great advantage, I had a lot of the knowledge before hitting the track, and at the track could focus on the track, traffic and such. I did not have to spend my day working...
If anyone wants to try the dirt or already has and just wants a day of fun, you really should get a day off and join the fun. I was there last year doing some trials bike training and hitting up the trails in the forest on my CRF. it is a first class organization and the riding and training is...
It's YOU. I use those tires for my daughters bike (The bike I take to the track) they do really great! You need to 1. make sure the tires are warmed up, 2. quit stomping on the brakes or being ham fisted on the throttle.
Re: Trail tours GTAM Meet up?.
Thanks, My Bike is also street plated not that I use it as such and a bunch of the trail tour bikes are also street plated from before it became illegal!.
Re: Trail tours GTAM Meet up?.
I towed my CRF250X up there with my V-max last season in June, I did the trials bike training in the A.M. then had a private guide through the ganny in the Afternoon, and we wiped it hard. Was a great day, Have wanted to do it again, but there was some...
Once the leaves are on the bushes, I don't think anyone else will see that sign either. We have a lot of great advanced programs available, through schools Like Sharp Rider
There was a pair of them, one went to a friend for his Wife and the other went to another friend who is a mechanic. She still has it as I was there a couple weeks ago.
