Off Camber

After attending level 1 last summer with my son, I decided to do some trackdays to continue to work on the things I had been taught. In the B group, I was suprised at the lack of basic technical knowledge of some of the riders. On one particular day (kinda chilly) at VIR, it seemed that we had 2-3 off track excursions every session. Often the poor riders would have no idea what they did wrong. The CRs would do their best to show the "line", but not explain why. At that point I decided I would extol the virtues of the CSS. I went to NCBIKE ( a good beginner track) with some other ZX6R enthusiasts and decided to start a thread about CSS on the zx6r.com forum : http://zx6r.com/east-coast/50873-who-wants-do-california-superbike-school.html I feel unqualified to explain everything to the other members, but I felt it was important let others know that good educational experiences are out there. My son and I are signed up for Level 2 in May (NJMP), and I'm looking forward to another exciting and enjoyable time. As I have recently been through what Hotfoot describes, These are my observations: 1. If you have attended any level of CSS, you are better prepared than almost all of the newcomers to the track. 2. If you are concerned about going it alone, look up forums related to your particular bike (or brand), or local sportbike groups. Most will be happy to accommodate you. 3. The level of camaraderie at the track is generally very good, and you will find you neighbors in the paddock to be kindred spirits when it comes to riding, although from diverse backgrounds. When I was at the track by myself, several of my neighbors went out of their way to reassure me they would look out for my gear when I was out on the track. Hope this helps, Can't wait to talk with Cobie, Dylan and the crew again. More Questions.....
