nadsta Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hi all, I did my CSS L1 at Brands Hatch last June, fantastic. Back on track tomorrow and I've forgotten the drills, and no printed literature was distributed during the class sessions. I did scribble some notes down on the back of a handout but ...who knows where they are now. I recall about 5 drills, with a later one being called the 2 step. Can't remember much more other than following: Corner entry speed one throttle input per turn (unless its double apex/decreasing rad) Body position (I think this was a precursor to Level 2) Reference points counter steering car park drill (nearly dropped it ) I have TOTW2 which I've read a number of times but always rewards with a re read. Any expansion on the drills from the riding jedis will be much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any expansion on the drills from the riding jedis will be much appreciated I'll let Andy know, he should have a drill booklet that you can get that has the drills, and references listed on where you can get more data, for all the drills in level 1 (and the other levels as you do them of course). The main drills are: throttle control, turn points, quick steering, rider input, and 2-step. Quite a bit in each of these breifings, and of course the steerging drill done off-track.

aurora Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Just wanted to say thanks to the UK office, I gave them a call and the booklet arrived the next day. Maybe their postman has done his Level 5!! dude - the first lesson - the rider's primary job is to stabilise the motorcycle with throttle control - i have been reciting this in my sleep (don't laugh, it's true) and to anyone that will (read 'has to') listen. then there was some other stuff (about turning points [i got it sort of by the end of the day] and quick turns [that was a hard one to get and still working on it]) then there was the relax (crazy chicken rule - funny but seriously true) - be alert and on the ball, but relax and enjoy, work together with your bike - the bike can't go anywhere without you and you can't have fun without your bike - you have to become one. then finally the two step turning rule -that one made allllllll the difference - if you can get this then it will come together, albeit eventually, but it will. I finally made it through turn 9 without going (too) wide!!!!! and remember, it is a process not an instantaneous revelation. it will happen - have faith in yourself and in your bike and respect the limitation of both. enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
