Wanted to share.... Spent Sat/Sun with TrackXperience at Chuckwalla then stayed for Monday with Rickdiculous, never having ridden with them before. Wow...what an experience!
They were doing Mon/Tues/Wed...I signed up for Monday ride-only. At the rider's meeting I looked around...Ken Hill, Shane Turpin, Phil Horowitz, Scott Russell, Daytona Anderson, Jason Uribe...all super nice and imminently approachable! Was out riding and kicked a leg out to come off...3 riders passed by. A few minutes later in the pits, Shane come up and asked if he could give me some pointers...hell yea! (he said sometimes guys are dicks apparently and don't want anyone telling them anything). He said he and Scott Russell were following me (!!) and he sat me down for some pointers on lines and braking then had me go out and follow him...we traded off a few times. In that 15" I learned more than in a season of track days. We were sitting afterwards and I asked about trail braking into the carousel...he looked up and said, "Well, let's ask the World Champ." And so Russell sat down with us and gave me his thoughts as well.
I was blown away. Spendy, yes...but I'm signing up for them in February without reservation! Full day of coaching...just awesome!
Anyone else attended their days? I was in heaven!
