Superbike-Coach Knee Down Classes 2Superbike-Coach

The big ones are coming…

Our September was already pretty busy till today, but we’re not even there yet. Our ‘big ones’ are around the corner!

The Body Positioning/Knee Down class and Wheelie Course weekend is calling riders in from all over the country. As usual, we’ve had a ‘shop day’ going, to get all equipment ready for the tough task on 9/20/ and 9/21/. There are still 3 spots open for the knee class, and 1 for the wheelie class. You might want to join the fun?!

Then we’ll have another Cornering Class on 10/5/– a Road Skill 1on4 on 10/12/– and go right into our last track day for this year.

Thunderhill Raceway West on 10/19/ will host B+ and B group, as well as the Track Rookie group. Spots are filling up, so don’t wait too long to secure yours. Many of you asked last time if there is camping in the paddock the night before. We’d love to do that, but the extra costs are high and we want to keep the track ticket low for those who don’t want to do that. So the idea is, to have the ‘overnight’ as an $25 option during booking.

Hope you guys like this idea because this will extend the fun a lot. The add-on is not there yet, but we’re working on it.

I will finish off my October with a personal track day. I’ll take Pazzo and the trailer to Thunderhill just for myself and to have fun. Hope you can feel me here :-)

Body Positioning Class Rescheduled

Sorry, but due to the announced heavy rain for Sunday 3/3/2019, I’ll have to pull the plug and to reschedule the Body Positioning Class to 3/31/2019.

Yep, I know it sucks but when you consider that this procedure is hard to find anywhere else- that an entire track class just changes date for the good, then it might eases the pain. Nobody loses spot or admission fees.

Only with Superbike-Coach Corp!

Cornering Day 2 Class Efficiency

, ,

We just finished another Cornering Day 2 class, and I am always surprised what kind of quantum jumps my students are taking.

Amazingly, they feel calmer, relaxed and actually “slower”. What they feel is the potential what they’ve been missing out for so long. Since Day 1, they went through lots of major subjects on and off the track: Body positioning, viewing technique, all types of lines, real counter steering, uber-steer, emergency braking, clutch less up shift, downshift pattern and gear choice… all of it in a logic order and designed for maximum learning effect. That’s it?!… No, there is even more to come- even things like Trail Braking.

I so love seeing their smiles when they finished their session and finally got it. That means the world to me!

The Perfect Body Positioning Hype

, ,

It actually amuses me to see the huge amount of attention other schools, books, forums, and videos spending on the subject called ‘the perfect body positioning’ for street riders. Glancing over to what MotoGP riders like Marc Marquez performs on TV- must be good for the Redwood Rd in the SF East Bay. If it doesn’t look like Marquez… It’ll be damned as ‘crossed-up’ and some rookie rider who was proud showing his first hanging off pic’s will be scoffed by. Read more

Tips for a good start in the new riding season

,

Tons of tips are available on the internet.  Some are good- some are bad… real bad.

Actually so bad, that it might end up in a disaster when you follow half-knowledge people.  Advice number one… don’t listen to someone on a forum who thinks that using the rear brake makes more sense today as it made sense 20 years ago…. no- it still doesn’t make sense, because rules of physics don’t change.  I understand that all of these “good” advices sound plausible for the newbie, and especially this is why you should spend less time listening to them.

If you are all set for the new riding season comes down to three factors;

1) riding experience;  The experience (and this includes also close calls, crashes, and tons of feeling) is the only thing can’t be taught, but all of it makes the rider. You gotta go through this on your own.

2) knowledge;  Can be taught in schools (there are good and bad ones), videos (not on youtube though), or books (good source)… and you’ll learn only if you admit to have to learn- even if you think you’re a heck of a rider.  I’d prefer a school, because reading about climbing is kinda different as really hanging on the edge of a cliff Read more
