Descriptions: Level 1 and Level 2

 

 

 

 

The Cornerspeed™ School. Level 1
The Cornerspeed School is a one day comprehensive school. Our emphasis is on bike control through turns and how to develop rhythm as a "pilot" (the correct term for a motorcycle rider/racer). We break down the parts and pieces of what it takes to "be smooth" (rhythm). We do not just tell you to "go out and be smooth", we EXPLAIN AND SHOW YOU HOW to be smooth. We define and discuss types of turns, pavement and elevation changes, parts of the turn: entrance, mid-corner and exit, setting up for the turns and how to put it all together. Being relaxed and smooth on the bike is every rider's ultimate goal. After that, it's easy to go fast. Additional topics (partial list): Flags and track etiquette, Basic suspension theory, Turn-in point, Steering input, Throttle control, Visualization, Body transitioning. Kneedragging (do’s and don’ts), Breaking down the track into parts and then putting it back together. You need to be well rested and alert to absorb the volume of information we cover in one day.
PRE-REQUISITES: Previous track experience is not required. This course is a high-performance riding school. Being absolutely familiar with your motorcycle and knowing how to operate it is absolutely necessary. i.e. You need be comfortable operating your vehicle at interstate highway speeds.

More Cornerspeed. Level 2

PLEASE NOTE: The core curriculum of More Cornerspeed Level 2 is taught at our Cornerspin™ school which can allow students to ride beyond the limits of traction and experiment with their personal limits on a motorcycle. Click here to find out more.


More Cornerspeed Level 2 takes up where the first school left off. This more advanced school will focus on braking; deep braking while maintaining a high corner speed and trail braking without sacrificing corner speed. The other aspects of this school are throttle control; not just early application but why and when, weight transfer; how to's and whys, chassis control through rider input and throttle input(s). This is just an overview. There is much more. For 2007, we are going to 1:1 training for the duration of the day. You will have an instructor with you during every session. NOTE: We highly recommend that you are familiar with the track/circuit on which you take this course. i.e. If you have never ridden the North Course at V.I.R., you really NEED to do a track day or two on it before registering for this course. If not, you will be struggling to do the drills while memorizing the circuit lay-out.
PRE-REQUISITES: Completion of the Cornerspeed School (Level 1) or another accredited school is required before this course can be taken. We suggest a minimum of 5-7 track days after your first school before registering for this course.
ACCREDITATION: Not part of the normal curriculum; HOWEVER, If you wish to take the race accreditation written test, you must arrange this prior to the school date. You are responsible for studying all flags and etiquette on your own. We will only administer the test. Successful complete will gain you a letter to your desired federation/organization for you to obtain a racing license.
