I came into level four to get a stronger drive out of corners five and seven. By the end of school, I had achieved that. Additionally, I was walking away with another important tool in my riding armoury – experimentation.
I now understand that there’s no perfect line and that different bikes need different approaches. It’s also clear that the more I experiment, the more I will continue to learn. Sure, not every experiment will yield the desired result, but some would. And that will help me become a better rider.
This is the reason I believe level four at California Superbike School is worth every penny. It arms you with the knowledge to improve. You come up with a plan and the coaches help you achieve it. Moreover, more often than not, you will also walk away with more than what you had bargained for.
Not to mention, the fact that I feel the need to do level four all over again is a clear indicator that there’s still so much the school can help me unlock.
