CA SuperBike School is based on Keith Code’s original idea of breaking down the fundamentals of riding and improving the rider’s ability in a step-by-step training method.  His classes offer 2 students to one coach, a little class time and lots of track time, which is what we all want and love.  You must do the levels in order, even if you are an advanced rider, this ensures everyone on that track has been trained in the same way. Every level takes a day to complete and I couldn’t believe how much I actually learned on the first day.  It is not inexpensive, but as I said to others when they balked at the price, “How much is your life worth?”  I would not be the confident, focused and safe rider I am today without this school.

I attended the Street of Willows in Lancaster, CA in April of 2012 and can only say that this is a well-oiled machine.  Students are encouraged to push their limits, but maintain a level of safety for the good of all the students on the track.  Level I and II teach you so much in the span of 2 days that you will leave with a sense of accomplishment you have never experienced.

In July of 2012 I went back and finished Level III and IV in Shelton, WA at the new racetrack, The Ridge.  What I learned in the last two levels challenged my body in ways that I never knew.  The way you position your body, hanging off the bike, flicking and hooking your body through turns, etc. required core strength to be turned on all the time.  Maybe that explains the lean nature of most sportbike riders and track rats.

I highly recommend this school to anyone who really wants to nail cornering and become a confident rider.  There are one day and two day classes, just check the schedule on www.superbikeschool.com for locations and dates near you.  If you check the gallery section on my site, you will see pictures from those two racetracks.  If you want to learn more about Keith’s techniques, read his books which are available through his school or on line, they will explain the concepts to you.  Ride safe ladies and remember Vixens Ride!
