TAKE YOUR RIDING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

We offer a fresh and progressive approach to advancing your riding skills.

Come experience your capabilities and that of your bike in a safe, controlled and traffic free environment.

The Skills & Track Academy is a Level Based Academy from beginner to advanced rider/advanced track day rider/racer. We can tailor your training to either a road based or a track based focus.  Our approach allows us to offer bespoke training. Client to instructor ratio is deliberately kept low to ensure this is achieved.

All training is client based with you setting your own road or track objectives.

Your time on circuit will be used to put theory into practice under the watchful eye of your instructor. Topics covered in the theory sessions will include:

• Vision – understanding how  to use reference points, peripheral vision, focus and attention in corners. How does speed affect our vision? This factor can have one of the largest effects on our riding.

• Braking – experience the full effect of your brakes.

• Steering – cover the four phases of the "perfect corner" and attempt to replicate it on circuit.

• Throttle control – learn how throttle control is an aid to machine stability.

• Body position/anchoring – understand the key anchor points on your machine and how the use of these and your body position can make you a more efficient rider.
