Check out the video section! (videos->local rides->california superbike school)
The video is a little crappy (flash), so if you want the full resolution just download the MPEG-2 or AVI (Xvid encoded) video from here .
This was two days of fun at Streets of Willow Springs. The California Superbike School is not just about racing around a track. They teach you the reasons behind certain manuvers, including "why things work" in the physics sense. I feel much more able to corner at high speeds and deal with losses of traction. The two days were grueling - we'd mostly ride for 20 minutes in the desert heat, break for 20 minutes for classroom instruction, then head back out on the track.
Best money spent, ever.
The videos were shot from their "camera bike," which is very precious to them. We were supposed to ride at 75% of our ability. Even still, you can see that the 2nd day I'm much smoother and bit faster (watch the videos).
Entering the bowl.. the G forces are amazing when you dive into this thing.
Just me taking a corner...
My nemesis: #12. He was the only person to consistently pass me the whole time. I think he was maybe 18 years old... wish I had started that young!
Keith Code (da man) points out some things I'm doing slightly wrong.
