The California Superbike School
Author: Henrijs Bukavs0 COMMENTS
A brilliant chance for real racing enthusiasts! Especially for the ones who love speed and yearn to learn to tame their bikes not in shabby suburbia streets but receive a proper training in the very best European and world racetracks. Fast, safe and confident - these are the fundamental principles of The California Superbike School. And this is what professionals as well as just ardent biking fanatics are trying to master already in the course of 25 years. Furthermore, 2005 Moto GP 125cc World Champion Thomas Lüthi has finished this school, too.
Found in 1979 in California, the school offers 4-level training in America as well as in Europe, Australia, South Africa and even Dubai. Just sign up in good time and off you go! If it seems too complicated to transport your own wheels in a container to the particular destination, no problem either - a neat string of 2004 Yamaha R6 bikes for rent already wait you at the side of a track. It can be compared only to a joy of a gourmet, entering a Michelin star restaurant. Just awesome!
The Superbike School training levels are done in order and everyone starts at Level 1 - it does not matter if you are a beginner or ride like a champ. The main goal of training - practical as well as theoretical - is to learn to overcome your own barriers and to control a bike. One day - one level, however, do not expect the intensive course to be easy and no sweat! Throughout a day - from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. - your circling around the track is recoded by a video camera attached to your coach's bike, riding in front or behind you. With clear hand signals a coach will tell you where, when and how to lean your bike. What is more, during the very first session you are not allowed to apply breaks - the whole circle has to be done with just one speed, smoothly and quietly. A video recording favors a feed-back on your on-track performance and allows to analyzing the errors made - too fast corner entry speeds, too sharp turns, wrong choice of speed, etc.
On-track training starts on the very first day - there now is your chance to roll on full throttle! A substantial bonus for this matter is a so called semi or semi-private coaching - one coach per two students. In the result of this almost individual training you will feel like, if not become, a super biker yourself after just a couple of hours on a track!
Two, three or four training days is not all yet. As long as time and money is at your disposal you can undergo all the levels once again, just this time putting into practice your newly acquired skills. In addition, moving from one level to another, you can move also to a different track - from Spain to England, from Dubai to South Africa or any other of more then 10 tracks in Europe and beyond. For additional fee a private coaching is available - one to one with your coach. Superb!
As in any school, number of vacancies is limited, therefore early application is highly recommended.
