California Superbike School Beginning East Coast Tour
18/04/2024 16:06
Our East Coast tour is starting in Virginia at the end of this month. After that is New Jersey, which was just freshly re-paved! Next is the National Corvette track in Kentucky (outstanding grip there), then six days straight at Barber Motorsports Park, the most beautiful track in America. Seriously, it's the most beautiful track in America—ask anyone who has been there.
With the season getting rolling, weather shifting to motorcycle-friendly type, and the US MotoGP just happening in Texas, riding is on people's minds and with that comes a desire to make each ride better with increased confidence from improved skills. We have recently been witnessing students' huge breakthroughs in the art of cornering. Things like knee down for the first time without trying, just applying good technique and it coming naturally. More importantly we are seeing riders who can recognize their own strengths and weaknesses and have the knowledge to fix their own weak areas.
We will be returning to the West Coast in June and July with Willow Springs, Laguna Seca, the also freshly-repaved Sonoma Raceway, and six days straight at The Ridge just south of Seattle.
From there we go back East again with Barber, Virginia, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey. From September on we will be on the West Coast.
Take a look at our schedule and sign up for the ones that fit. We'll see you at the track!
In other news we will be carrying the new Alpinestars Tech Air 7x air vest. It's $999 and can be deployed twice before being serviced, and YOU can replace the canisters yourself without sending it in. For those wishing to spend less, we can get you the Tech Air 5. We shamelessly push safety equipment for the obvious reasons but also the little extra peace of mind it provides.
Fun fact: did you know the California Superbike School is the largest motorcycle track school in the world and has been since 1980? Because of the name, newcomers get the idea we are only in California. We have been international since the 1990's. So far this year we have done schools in India, England, Australia, and the Philippines. Coming are events in Norway, Poland, and Cyprus. Over our 44 year history we have been to 138 tracks around the world across 39 countries. We often get return students who had no idea we are in other countries or have been in operation for so long. So if you didn't know, now you know!
More on the internal side, we have created some elements to increase coaching efficiency and our ability to zero in on the student's actual primary area of technical weakness versus the apparent one. Sometimes breakthroughs come from uncovering the hidden deficiency that may not be so evident to the rider or a casual observer. Our mission to improve your student experience will never end.
See you at the track!
