There it is… the Superbike-Coach Track Day at Thunderhill Raceway has been BOOKED UP!!!

Let me be clear- that’s two and a half months upfront folks. Superbike-Coach is calling, and you are coming. I am super excited and I know you are as well, but please understand that a ‘track day’ is not a replacement for solid rider education. Ask me how I know, cuz’ we get to see this misinformation and also wish-thinking all the time. Yes it’s exciting, but what I got to see in all those years is almost unreal. At this point I want to invite you to read an old article: ‘Does a track day really make you a better rider?!

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to scare you, because that’s why I actually offer track days. You don’t get any better just because you have a track ticket in your pocket or just because your friend ‘shows you around’. That’s like learning to play the guitar from someone who held a guitar in hands the night before. I might sound like sales pitching, but I am not trying since we’re booking up all cornering

n

school classes anyway. This is maybe something you look into, since there is plenty of time left till 8/27/. This program is not just to learn to corner from A to Z, it’s also a great track introduction same time.

So, if you are signed up for my track day already, then this is another great article to get familiar with what our track days look like: ‘Clarifying Superbike-Coach Track Days‘. Please read it, so you know what’s coming. Another good one for preparation is this one here: ‘How to prepare for track days‘. You’ll also get an email anytime soon, but these articles will help you getting organized with your equipment and how to make the best out of it.

Now go get some education till then, and I’ll see you around. I can’t wait :-)

Our next Superbike-Coach wheelie class is coming up quick on 10/21/2023. A few tickets are left.

We are excited to let you use our new wheelie machine, which were standing the real life test last July. We also changed the general agenda and schedule, which puts our students even into more action. Once more, we are welcoming riders from all over the world to this class. Join us and sign up before it’s too late.

Man, what an outstanding time we’ve had with our students at the knee and wheelie classes last weekend, and our new wheelie machine bike took the beat.

We also made a major change which we put to the test. We migrated the Knee & Body Positioning class. I always felt both programs needed improvement. Now we have the right mix for more content, and maintained the challenge factor.

Another Cornering Day 1 class is coming up on 5/14/, and we have 5 open spots. Come find out what this program makes so darn popular.

To cover the high demand- we’ve added a Cornering Day 3 class for 7/15/2023.

Another heads-up for our track day at Thunderhill Raceway on 8/27/2023. Only 20 of 150 spots are left… 3 1/2 moths upfront! Secure now:

B+: 8 spots left
B:    9 spots left
C:    3 spots left

Btw… if you already have a track day spot, and this will be your first time jumping into a track day environment- then I’d highly suggest to enter our Track Rookie class on 7/23/. This one is a TD simulation and get’s deep into passing. Perfect prep!

Our next Suspension Workshop on 9/17/ is also almost full, so don’t wait too long to get you ticket.

Alright, that’s it. Enjoy spring time and your riding folks :-)

superbike-coach team went karting
Here we go again… our Knee Down and Wheelie Course weekend is coming up on Saturday and Sunday. All hands on deck for the Superbike-Coach team. You can’t even imagine what grade of preparation, this requires from all of us. This is demanding having our shit together on the tech side, mentally and physically. Just picture the expectations to feed and to keep it in balance with safety and success. You can’t do that for everyone, but no matter what… we try to make a cow lay eggs sometimes. I am steering the ship right into the storm and Marion, Dean, Wayne, Mark, Lindsey, Chris and Rafael are hissing the sails right into it.
Hear our battle cry!

I use to call in the Superbike-Coach team about 2 to 3 times per year. This is an important thing in many ways. With all the work everyone has and our tight class schedule- where it’s all about others- this is for US to have fun. Not that we need that one, but yea, a team binding measure if you will. Today I invited Marion, Chris, Dean, Wayne, Mark and Rafael for 3 races at K1 indoor karting to show them my appreciation.

LOVE YA’LL.

Dean Lonskey at Superbikecoach

Superbike-Coach operates since 2009 in the United States. We started out offering the Road Skill program as a class until I’ve developed programs specifically for small tracks. I think it was in 2010, when we started the very first Wheelie Course at Little 99 Raceway in Stockton California and added the Knee Down class in 2011. I was mostly busy with small groups and especially 1on1’s on big track with the Track Drill program. The most popular program was yet to come in the end of 2013- the Cornering School from Day 1 to Day 3.

This program was quickly darn popular. It is colorful, energetic, passionate, and filled with people of all ages, genders, levels and characters that I urged to conserve the vibe in pictures. Well that’s why, and to give my people something additional. Something others don’t… free sport photography.

Technically it ain’t hard to hire a photographer, so I made my way through some. I mean, sometimes I had a different photographer from class to class, but nothing beyond ‘clicking the cam’. Don’t get me wrong- they were all good, and some are still friends. However, something was missing with them. What I needed was someone who sees what I see. Someone who wants to be part of the revolution which Superbike-Coach represents. Someone who cares what happens. Someone who is loyal and shares the passion.

That moment of passion, respect and eager

He was shy and scared talking to more than one person at a time, but he grew into it. His picture quality weren’t the best back then, but that’s not always priority. All I knew from that particular class with Dean is, that he will learn and develop just because of the way we do the classes and through time, so I hired him.

I think it was in 2014 when Dean Lonskey and his friend signed up for the Wheelie Course and when he heard that my photographer had let us down by not showing up. He quickly walked up to me and told me how much he loves the class and that he actually does hobby photography. I liked his energetic nature right away and asked him for a try-out.

That Cornering class with him and Marion on my side was a delight through and through. Was it ‘perfect’?… no, how could it?! But there was the spark I was missing. An ex-Moto Cross racer who hears my racer heart beating. That is enough to cover what’s not perfect yet.

In all those years we shared ups and downs and we have a healthy way to deal with opinions and differences- I wish to see happening for this country btw.  Today, Dean Lonskey is a Superbike-Coach to the bone. Meanwhile, hundred-thousands of pictures have become more than a keep of moment in time- they are a proof of progress to our students… all for free!

All this goes way beyond clicking the cam.
