On May 20th I took CSS level 1 at NJMP, and to sum it up, I was blown away by the whole experience. What an eye opener. In fact I actually signed up for level 2 that same day. I have been itching to get out onto the street since, but between work and lousy weather today was my first time riding since the course, thought I'd share some thoughts. I've been riding for over 20 years, 15 on the street and felt I was a safe, good rider. I never realized how much more I could get out of riding until CSS. I was amazed at how practical the techniques learned at level1 were when applied to real world street riding. My whole riding experience changed...for the better! The confidence and control I felt were immediate. I really felt as if I was one with my bike. I felt safer than I have ever felt on the road, but it was not a false confidence. If I had one criticism of myself, it would be going a little too fast on the street. Not reckless in any way but when rolling on the throttle definitely need to remember I'm not n the track. How does everyone else keep themselves in check? Anyhow, looking forward to level 2 in September! Cheers Mike

Hey all, I wanted to introduce myself, my name is mike, from NYC and just completed level 1 a NJMP thunderbolt. All I can say is WOW! What a great day. I have been riding since I was 11, raced moto for a few years and have been on the street on/off since 19 (I'm 33). What an incredible course. I was fortunate to have none other than Cobie Fair as my coach and he was awesome. My biggest take-aways were how quickly I was able to progress under proper guidance, how far these machines can be pushed with proper technique, and how much I thought I knew but in actuality I really did NOT. Already signed up for September 3 level 2. Cheers. Mike
