It was another, highly dynamic Knee Down class last Saturday!
We’ve worked our butts off to make our students dreams finally come true. We didn’t achieve the same success rate of 18/21 this time, but 16/21 ain’t bad at all since there were even some riders who are actually haven’t been for long on bikes before.
We’re not just aiming for that particular goal only. Superbike-Coach knee down classes are a darn challenge, because we also go for entry, mid and exit corner speed and fix body positioning issues ON THE RUN. Means- even those 5 who ain’t got the damn knee down are going home with a whole lotta sack of knowledge and training.
I so loved everyone’s eager. Nobody gave up on themselves and I can’t be more proud for my crew Marion, Ben and Dean Lonskey, who took this fun shot of us which illustrates what kind of caliber our classes are… fun and efficient.
Around 2000 pictures are ready for FREE download for our students by mid of this week. Can’t wait to see them :-)

Here it comes again- the Superbike-Coach Track Day at Thunderhill West Raceway. In one month from now, on 9/8/2018, we are starting our 6th track day at this amazing track.
Our track days are track beginner and safety orientated, and 90% of the riders have done programs with Superbike-Coach. You’ll find a way higher respect level for each other as anywhere else. The family like environment is special, and I put heart and soul into it. I leave at that point away what other organizers do, and leave that to you to find out. But this is what WE do, and not do:
No fast-guy preferred ‘we make fun about your chicken strips’ event. Every rider on every bike is welcome.What I personally like the most with our track days are the people which are coming together, from my team, track staff and of course the riders. So if you are worried doing a track day because of all the things you’ve heard… then here is the solution. Join our non-competitive and less-hassle track day on September 8th 2018 at Thunderhill Raceway with Superbike-Coach.

This was a extraordinary class last Sunday. The success rate is also pretty high, though we had 2 crashes. Luckily they are doing OK as I’ll stay in touch with them.
I felt everyone’s eager, but it was expected that not everyone is going to make it, so I hope that they could get value out of it anyway. I am proud of each one and so is the rest of the Superbike-Coach team.
My photographer, Dean Lonskey sends greets and THANKS for leaving him a tip. He loaded some featured pics of the class up which cuts your waiting time until 1200 free pics are finally uploaded by the end of the week.
Here are some shots:

I am happy that I can announce that SENA has become a new sponsor to the Superbike-Coach Corp. This will benefit especially our students on 1on1 or small group coaching, because the quality and reliability of the Sena intercom and video systems.
We are mainly using Sena 10c and SMH5 Multicom units, which are super functional for us and extremely quick connecting and to swap. But that’s not all.
As usual, our sponsors are holding discounts, exclusively for Superbike-Coach students- and so will Sena.
We are looking forward to a hopefully long and successful relationship with Sena.

I can’t believe how quickly time went by. We just finished an amazing Knee Down class and Wheelie Course (end of April), and now we’re preparing for our track day at Thunderhill West Raceway on 6/10/2018. It seems we’re booking up again, because only 38 spots are left.
So in a little less than a month, Superbike-Coach will run another track day, the way it should be…. available for every rider and bike category- hassle free and without ‘instructors’ who just race each other by ignoring their own rules. In fact- about 80% of our track day attendees were my students before in all kind of SBC programs, which means that there is a solid level of respect for each other and for what we do. Of course, nothing is perfect, and so also we try to keep improving.
However, I want to point out that a Superbike-Coach track day is different in the detail as well, and that begins with our level group selection. Since we do track beginner orientated track days which are more fun and safety focused than to be fast- we run three groups in 7×20 minutes sessions. Dividing riders in C group (probably the slowest, most inexperienced)- B group (intermediate riders with low track experience)- and B+ (up to slight more experienced riders). Take to note that our B+ group is pretty much a extension of the B group. So no A group, but we do welcome some A riders and racers in B+ all the time, and those are the ones we know that they can ‘hold back’ and track with respect. Low key is cool, because ya’ll have a Monday to do.
Often riders ask if a class is mandatory to even attend our track days. The answer here is no, everyone- and on everything can join. We offer “I always wanted to do this ones, but without the drama” track days. That means you don’t have to have a racing suit- you don’t have to prep the crap out of your bike- and you don’t need to be worried about the ‘chicken strips‘ you might have. We try to bring riders, despite the category or level, to the sport in the most hassle free and possible safest way.
The more the better, but street riding protection is fine if it is for you. In the end, you go the same- or even higher risks using regular riding protection for street riding. In regard bike preparation we only ask to tape the brake light and to remove mirrors (or to tape them).To get started, you might want to read my article ‘How to prepare for a track day‘. There are rules, flags, do’s and don’t’s, and a bunch of tips and suggestions around your entire track journey, so good stuff actually. If that leaves questions open… you might post a comment on the Coach blog to get the answer.
Now here is the deal… Superbike-Coach track days are always booking out, and that’s beyond the fact that we are not leaving turns out- that we include free sport photography- a Ideal-Line-West-Seminar- and a C group orientation in the morning… all for only $150. So if you want to get in… now is the time, because only 38 spots are left!
