Which school?

Disalvo Speed Academy...... You wil get more 1 on 1 than any other
School out there. There biggest advantage over some of the others in my opinion is the video review after each session.. Jason and Brian have it down packed and go the extra mile to make sure your takeaways are money well spent.. Not to mention you have the most recent Daytona 200 Winner running the show.. There are many other choices out There as well and they are all good.. However I would do another day with Jason and Brian again in a heartbeat...

 

Can't speak for Disalvo yet (I want to do his sometime this year and the more 1:1 time the better so I'm even more interested after hearing that) but I have done California Superbike School several times, all the levels, and I think they are great! One nice thing about the instructors is they are all on point with the exact same message, and even more importantly almost the exact same way of explaining/teaching things. It helps to keep you from getting confused.

I went through them lots before branching out and riding with STT and this year I'm already signed up for time with both outfits.

You asked which has the most tracktime, but that isn't the point of a school. STT gets you the most tracktime and they have really useful instructors, but school involves dedicated classroom time so the time on track will be less. CSS you do 5 or 6 twenty minute sessions in a day, so it's not like you don't hit the track. I imagine all dedicated schools will have less time than a free running trackday, but I could be wrong.

 

Here ya go. Link

 

+1 Speed academy:first:

 

Yep, the one-on-one with Disalvo and his team gave me a LOT to think about and work on this coming year(I took the one day school in Dec. at Jennings). I definitely recommend.

 

Another vote for the DiSalvo Speed Academy.

I have taken 3 different schools and the Speed Academy by far was the most beneficial. No mumbo jumbo, no long winded explainations that require a physics degree, no arguing over the science behind what makes a motorcycle turn.

Just realistic, applicable drills and knowledge passed on in a way that is easy to understand and that are immediately applicable to your riding.

After doing the school, i was immediately 2 seconds faster and was in much more control and had much more room for error. In other words, i went faster, but i did so easier and with less risk of crashing. I can think back to crashes I have had on the past (on the track and street) and if I would have known then, what I learned in the school, I wouldn't have crashed. I would have more money in my pocket and less hardware in my body.

IMO, the school is an investment. The tools you learn will not only help you get faster, but it will help you be a safer rider, on and off the track and reduce your chances of crashing. In other words, the school wil likely pay for itself, several times over.

...not to mention it is 1/2 the cost of the other 2-day schools/camps.

I didn't do Speed Academy but would like to.
I did YCRS and I think its very good. Super setup and top level trainers. Also the Two-UP with former World Champ Scott Russell are very helpful in determining that you are nowhere near the max of what a bike can do.
Yes it is expensive but it is worth ever penny.
Also lots of Video taping and different drills with a huge amount of one on one time within the already small groups. With a pretty good mixture of track time and the open schedule for additional drills and stuff until late ( nobody else is on track than the school group), I think is very good.

Also Miller itself is just a beautiful place to ride.

 

Hey, G. We're going to Speed Academy at Little Tally end of march. Still room in the trailer.

 

what weekend? I signed up for Barber, the 11th/12th... just regular tracktime...

 

March 31, April 1. Little Tally Speed Academy stand-alone school.

 

I think that is the Topeka CCS round.

 

I will be there. :getdown:

That will be the first time i ride my STG R6 (and might even be the first time I see it in person). I will also be testing out the new Michelins, so it will be a busy weekend. Hopefully somewhere in the middle of all that i get a chance to work on my riding too.

 

Is the Speed Academy a 1 or 2 day school?

 

1 day or 2 days, you decide. Best to take the 2 day & get the full effect imho.

 

out see Gregs comment...

 

Ive done a couple and jason really impressed me the most. His constant energy and genuine concern to see people progress is refreshing. I assure you if I didnt think so I would not offer a positive opinion.

I'd put Pridmore just under Disalvo. Disalvo raised the bar when it comes to a full out school

 

I'm itching to do a school this year; I've got to do SOMETHING to beat Twobrothers and Tiller!

 

I'm tired of getting schooled!

 

Without question the Disalvo School is the most comprehensive, serious program to make anyone a safer, faster more focused rider. Jason and Brain Stokes take a personal interest in video taping and critiquing your every move, hands, feet, body position, everything. They both work with you on almost a one on one basis until you get it right. No frills or fancy lunches in this school, just hard core instruction. If you are able to do two days, it's well worth it. I will be back again!
