Superbike School & Level

RIQUE · 03-18-2011, 01:28 AM

Hey Folks, so I'm getting ready to sign up to Super Bike School.

I plan to go on Level 1 two day camp plus 1 extra day Level 2

Does this sound OK? or Overkill? anybody else take a 3 day?

I will be travelling 7000 miles to take the course...so you get my point.

Which track are you attending. I was thinking of signing up for the early June date at Barber.

I thought that the two day camp was level 1 and 2, you don't spend 2 days on level 1. If you're doing the 2 day camp you'll start at level 1 on the first day, do level 2 on the second, then you'll need to book level 3 for your third day.

Ive done all CSS levels and here is my $0.02 worth:

Level 1 - brilliant in fact so good, I would strongly recommend not doing level 2 until you have spent a few months applying level 1 in your day to day riding.

Level 2 - is a bit of a downer to level 1, but probably because in my case (UK) the track wasnt the best and in addition the distance your skills move from 0 - level 1 is far greater than 1 - 2 if you understand my point. so there seems physically less to take home, so your high expectations in my case were a bit dis-illusioned!

Level 3 brilliant but really dont advise doing this until you really have mastered level 1.

Level 4 is personal tweaking.

I would spend the money on a two day level 1 camp and if you really want to do a third day, pay for a private 1:1 rather than doing another level.

I did level one last year at Barber. It was my first time on a track and the experience was incredible. I waited too late to sign up for the June date but I am on the waiting list for level two. Just did a track day at Barber last weekend...awesome. Best place on earth. Going again Aril 30th.

I agree, Level 2 was a downer. Level 1 was excellent and think it would be more valuable spending track time applying what you learned from this course.

This was at Silverstone Stowe mate, but before it was re-surfaced, which is why it wasnt the best. A pal of mine did Stowe since the work and its an amazing imrpovement he said.

I got a message from SBK School. There is space for me in the two day course at Barber Alabama.

Yeehaa. Anybody else confirmed.?
