Advanced Rider Training
You can’t buy experience on a bike; however, the right training will accelerate your expertise and technique!
Don’t let the word “advanced” deter you! We cater for both experienced and learner riders. If you are finding the course difficult we can simplify the drills and skills, or if you are finding it too easy we can certainly take it up a level to suit you. Our training systems are unique; we are the only training company that teaches the true art of how to feel the stroke of the forks, as this will give you the feeling of grip during braking and cornering.
Our advanced levels 1 – 3 are aimed at all levels of riders and levels 4 – 6 are aimed at track and race riders. Our advanced motorcycle training has been designed to take your riding skills to the next level and ensure you are the best and safest rider you can be. Just like your bike’s gearbox, our Advance Level courses start from one and go to six; and just like your gearbox, our courses run sequentially, each building on the last. Because of that, it is a course requirement that the Advance Levels are taken in order and no levels are “missed”.
Structured programs vs Organic learning
- Structured programs are about skills and drills. We break the skill down into drills to then add those drills together to make a skill. This is done in a small group and personal instruction and feedback. If you are looking for in-depth structured learning our Advanced Rider Training Levels are the course for you!
- Organic learning is where you get on a motor bike and ride/practice. Organics is important but without some structure you will not improve or know what it is that you are missing. If you are looking to practice and polish your skills, without structure, our Coach & Setup Days are the course for you!
