When I did level one at Pocono last August this drill totally freaked me out but after doing it for the rest of that day and experimenting on the track with stabbing the brakes and using no brakes I find it helped immensely. I still find myself trying to stab the brakes in that "this is fun oh my god I'm going to die" split second on occasion, but that is becoming less and less with each ride.
I'm doing level 2 on May 15th at Pocono, and I can't wait to learn more. I have 3 friends that are doing level 1 on the same day. It will be fun to see them after their first session. All I've told them is first drill, no brakes. They are all looking forward to learning how it's done
Oh and thanks Keith I can attribute my just missing a deer a few weeks ago to attending one of your classes. It gave me the opportunity to learn what my bike and I can handle, and I still haven't been near it's limits. See you in a couple of weeks!
