Yet another reason to do CSS...

[zooom]

someone forced you to attend CSS?  i know you said gift.. but i bet you could have contacted the school and traded for another date if you wanted to.

NOPE, cause the guy who gave me the gift was going with me as a way for us to play on the track together in different circumstances,cause he was using me as a carrot to tow him around VIR on my 70hp machine while he was on his 1098 equipped with Easy Button, se he figured we'd get to really see what we could do out there together around one another

and who complains about going to barber?!   

it was a horrible experience for sure    I had to tell him about the museum to get him interested in going to that as well cause he didn't know anything about that...

- their cirriculum is set.  and with as many successful attendees as they've had, it's safe to say it works.  it starts with level 1 no matter who you are and wisely so.
- you're learning particular drills, particular skills; it's not a track day.  all the lessons, especially on the lower levels, start out very slowly speed-wise.  after the first session, you get turn-in points marked on the ground.  so you need to be really familiar with the track in this situation why?

yes, their curriculum is set and it isn't a bad one...not one I particluarly agree with on EVERY point in how they go about the lessons they teach and in what order...but we all come from a different riding backround and way of thinking and doing things...so we can't say that we'll always be in agreement...and it wasn't until the late late portion of the 1st day that they started putting turn in points out on the tarmac....and then again not until after the 2nd session the 2nd day...not sure if it was lazyness, disorganization, or just a lack of feeling for need for them until that point...I agree that it isn't a track day and you are there to learn specific things and follow their regimen of things (just glad they didn't push the whole Dianetics any further than what they did or I would had to say something nasty that wouldn't have been appreciated by them) because it is after all "A School"...but any school is easier to take in when you are trying to overcome less foreign matter...so a track you are unfamilair with + a bike you are unfamiliar with + a regimen you are unfamilair with = leads to a certain level of discomfort like it did for me and  a greater amount to overcome for to make it a successful effort....it was worth it and I learned a thing or 2...but I would feel better having done it with a couple variables eliminated...and a track I am familar with certainly helps me in knowing where I can push my comfort zone and envelope for the learning of what they are trying to teach in a safe circumstance...


bummer about freddie.  maybe he's turned his focus to phonics.

When I was at Freddie's school, they didn't mark turn-in points, although they did mark apexes and exits.  It would be interesting to compare markers used by different schools to see how they vary (if at all).  I've never done a CSS school, but it does sound like they teach a different riding style than Freddie.

fwiw, there are three rider groups at CSS: green, yellow, white.  once all three have had 1 on-track session, the turn points get put down.  so about 10am.  unless somehow you were at a date with no Level 1 students, that's always the case.

and re scientology: i'm not an advocate by any stretch of the imagination.. but the presence of some signage and books, from an org that never once actually mentions it, doesn't bother me.  was your experience different?

yeah she did that at my class too but that has nothing to do with scientology, that has to do with "real science" in general for replacing electrolytes in case its hot out and you get dehydrated, etc.

I got impatient and signed up for Schwantz' school this month; a week later I see this:
