About Course

This course has 3 main goals:

Significantly enhance your road safety. Not only will you learn about advanced riding techniques, but you will actually practice them up to the point when you will be able to control your bike automatically, allowing you to pay more attention to the road and surroundings rather than getting too focused on the mechanics of riding. This, in turn, has a huge positive impact on safety.

Radically boost your confidence in motorcycle handling. This will allow you to feel less fatigued, have better, smoother control, and, most importantly – have more fun while riding your bike.

Achieve significant improvement in safety and riding confidence within a short period of time. We don’t need 20 years of road experience to become excellent riders; we’ll achieve that in just 2 months.

To achieve our goals, we’ll follow 3 essential principles. 

Focus on skills, not drills. We’ll focus on learning the necessary skills rather than just going through exercises for the sake of it. Each set of exercises will be aimed at mastering a specific useful skill that later we’ll be able to apply in real road situations.

Measurable progress. As we move forward in the course, you won’t just feel some vague increase in confidence; you’ll be able to clearly see the new abilities you’ve acquired. Progress will be tangible and trackable.

One bite at a time. We’ll concentrate on isolating and learning one skill until we excel at it. Only then will we move on to the next one. This gradual and focused approach will lead us to excellent motorcycle control.

This is why I strongly recommend going through the lessons in the order they are released. Even if you think you’re familiar with a topic, going through all lessons in the correct order will ensure you don’t miss any crucial details. Sometimes, a small nuance can make a big difference in understanding and applying the knowledge effectively. So, let’s follow the sequence and make the most of this course!

Week 1. Optimal Riding Posture and Balance on a Motorcycle.
When we hear the term "motorcycle accident," we often imagine high-speed collisions with a rain of metal and plastic debris. This draws public attention because it’s quite a spectacular sight. It might seem like these are the most common types of accidents. However, the reality is quite different: the vast majority of motorcycle accidents involve simple low-speed crashes, where the rider loses balance at some point and tips over. These accidents usually result in minor damages and majorly bruised ego. Considering the frequency of such mishaps, why not learn early on how to prevent them? The good news is that it's surprisingly easy and straightforward to maintain proper balance and stability on a motorcycle in any situation. As a bonus, having a strong sense of balance will also prove beneficial during the whole rest of the course, as it helps us avoid dropping the motorcycle while practicing our exercises. So, let's delve into the art of the perfect riding posture and excellent equilibrium right from the very beginning.

Week 2. Turning radius & advanced slow-speed maneuvering.
One of the greatest benefits of riding a motorcycle is its exceptional maneuverability, allowing us to filter through traffic, navigate around roadblocks, and effortlessly go through narrow streets in old towns. However, to fully capitalize on this advantage, we must master the art of slow-speed riding. Understanding the process of turning at low speeds will serve as a crucial foundation for our further training. As we progress, we can build upon these slow-speed riding techniques to safely learn more complex skills, such as high-speed cornering, rapid braking, obstacle avoidance, and more. Therefore, it is essential to delve into the concept of motorcycle turning radius and explore its intricacies. By doing so, we unlock the potential for enhanced control and confidence in our riding endeavors.

Week 3. Countersteering, U-Turns and Rear-End collision avoiding.
This week will be dedicated to countersteering training. Countersteering is an incredibly powerful tool in any rider’s arsenal. It allows us to change lean angle really fast, which gives us the opportunity to corner well, swerve in case of emergencies and just ride very confidently in general. Countersteering is an incredibly important topic, and you must be sure that you understand it correctly.

Week 4. Vision, target fixation, choosing the correct line.
This week we properly start working on our vision. We already touched this subject a bit in the previous 3 weeks, but now we will be focusing on it more. Our vision for normal day-to-day riding is one of the most important instruments. We use it to assess the road situation correctly, look for cars, pedestrians, animals, potholes and all other sorts of stuff which we can find on the road.

Week 5. Slow-speed excellence. Counterbalancing.
At this point we learned a great deal about how to use our vision, how to maintain balance in any situation, how to use counter steering properly, how to use speed to change our turning radius, how self-steering of the front wheel works, how to use friction zone and rear brake properly and how to keep a steady throttle. It’s already quite a nice skillset, definitely a lot to absorb in just a month! So, this week we will do more exercises to review everything we learned up to this point, plus I’ll show you one nice technique for slow-speed riding which is not really essential, but useful sometimes.

Week 6. Emergency Maneuvers.
This week we have 2 of the most important topics - emergency braking and swerving maneuvers. Those 2 are by far the most effective accident-avoiding maneuvers and they are simply a must-have skill in any good rider’s skillset.

Week 7. Superb Throttle control. Lean angle training.
This week we will learn one of the most important skills – smooth throttle control. Smooth and precise control of your throttle is required pretty much in any situation when we have a limited amount of grip. On a straight line on dry pavement, we pretty much can jerk the throttle as much as we like. It will be a rough ride, but nothing terrible will happen. Probably. But as soon as we start riding wet pavement, or a gravel road or even if we start leaning our bike more – we start to have less spare grip and our rear tire becomes prone to slipping if we are too greedy with throttle. So, that’s why we need to learn good throttle control in case we want to be able to ride well.

Week 8&9. Throttle to Braking transitions. Trail Braking.
This time we have a lot of stuff to learn, so it will be 2 weeks instead of one, as usual. The reason for that is we have 2 rather complex topics to learn, which require some practice and some time to settle in. First we will pick up the thing which we already touched last week – we will remove jerkiness from our throttle and achieve really smooth throttle to brake and brake to throttle transitions. After that we will learn and practice trail-braking, a technique which incredibly increases our cornering abilities.
