johnnyrod Posted July 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Well the weather held and we had a good day. Myself and a friend were in the intermediates group, which turned out to be one of the fastest inters groups I've ridden in. The day was fully booked so there were faster guys in all the groups, who just booked whatever places were left, and a friend of mine who races in Bemsee looked at the pictures and said there were at least 5 race bikes in my group. Anyway had a great time, all the level 1-3 stuff came out at some point except the hook turn (totally forgot) and was feeling good by the end of the day. I only do the odd track day so there is a fair shift between road riding style and track. http://www.alexjamesphoto.com/eventsshoots/cadwell-day-and-eveonline-friday/?sub=92f9ca072c597c148edd953fafb196ac#photo=thumbs All mixed but I'm on the SV650, easy enough to spot that one! To be honest I was riding with a friend so tried too hard to go fast rather than getting a bit of practice in of the various techniques. A real plus though was that most of the time I made a mistake, or felt I was going slow somewhere, I also felt I knew what I was supposed to do about it, so in some cases managed to iron things out. That's what CSS has done for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 That's great! It's wonderful that you were able to apply the skills from CSS in general, and even better that you were able to spot errors and know what to do to fix them, or prevent then from happening again. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spike Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Vital jump technique to be learned What level would this get taught in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotfoot Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Well, the tires get pretty light at Barber in one place if you are going fast. The school doesn't spend any time teaching you how to loft the bike but we CAN teach you what to do to maximize your chances of staying upright if you do!

benhamf15 Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Maybe we need to add a new "Jump Bike" to the lineup of specialty training bikes/devices. Benny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
