Why Champ School is Worth it for YOU a Street Rider

I took the YCRS course at INDE a few years back and my favorite takeaway was; "You'll never hope your way through a corner again". I've enjoyed my riding so much more ever since. Nick and his crew are great instructors and a fun bunch to boot. Do this course if at all possible. Seriously it will change and possibly save your life and you will fall in love with riding all over again.

[@jimmcmaster6227]

I love how despite posting all sorts of instructional videos you let us know that you are still willing to learn yourself.

The best riders in the world are constantly learning and working on improving. Complacency is our enemy!

[@jimmyb4982]

Taken the online course and highly recommend it. I'm an inexperienced rider, but understanding the concept of 100 points of grip, loading the tire before working the tire, and trail braking puts me ahead of some more experienced riders, for sure.

[@matttorgersen9932]

I had read Nick’s articles and watched some videos about trail braking and it changed everything.When Champ U came out I signed up immediately.It’s a gift to motorcycling. So we’ll done ,So much great information.I Hope to be able to attend YCRS soon . You are also putting out life saving information and have my total respect. Keep the videos coming. And Thank you.

[@karenallen5208]

One very important skill I learned from experience that could not be taught on a parking lot was how to stop, hold the clutch, and take off on a hill without rolling backwards. This is one invaluable skill I taught my son after he graduated at the top of his class from his beginning course. I'm fully in agreement with this video and I highly appreciate it.

[@dermotshaw5722]

You make a really good point. Another thing I see a lot of is about chicken stripps and knee dragging. On the road, you don't need to drag your knee or use all your lean angle to ride fast on the twisties. I'm 47, been a biker for 22 years. I've never gotten the knee down and have always had "chicken stripps" yet I've always been able to match the quickest bikers I've ridden with, even when I had the smallest bike, a cb 400 SF. yes they would gap me on the straights but I'd catch them easily on the twisties.

[@CanyonChasers]

You are spot-on. I call chicken-strips my "margin of error"

[@dermotshaw5722]

@@CanyonChasers oh I like that name

[@SFV4]

I own 2 naked bikes with different tire brands. On the Bridgestone: no chicken strips. On the Pirelli chicken strips… If they meant something, I would either have chicken strips on both bikes or none on both… Sure, some riders with the same bike on Pirellis have narrower chicken strips than I have on my bike, but, at the end of the day, I want to get safe home to take care about my son!

It shows you are simply interested in the truth-not being better or smarter than the competition. Much respect. I love Nick-super smart guy and great teacher. And I love your teaching style too.

I really envy you guys, for having so many options and resources in motorcycle training. Where I live, even track days are few and far between. There are no open parking lots on weekends and after hours. I'm glad Champions School released Champ U - now I can try and practice by myself whenever a track day comes by. Thanks for the great videos, CanyonChasers!

[@c10seth]

I teach BRC1 and I always point my students to you channel. I try to emphasise to my students that BRC1 is the BASEMENT and there is so much more out there and that in order to be a safer, faster rider who has more fun it is paramount to continue training and education. I like to pepper in YCRS points either after my classes or during breaks and it's amazing to watch the gears turn in the students heads when I show them the 100 points of grip with a take off tire, or how body position can reduce lean angle and thus reduces risk. Thank you for sharing and doing what you do.

I've been anticipating this video ever since I saw the YCRS live stream on facebook showing you sitting in the video review class. I have heard/read nothing but good from everyone who attends this school. Being a "working man" trying to just survive coming up with the investment to attend is not an option for me right now but, I did invest the the very small amount of money for the online ChampU course and I am very impressed with it. I'm very happy to hear you repeat what everyone else is saying about their own experience with YCRS. I am hoping I will sooner rather than later be able to afford the investment in my riding and attend the full class/school. Thanks so much and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤️🏍 Randy

[@Pauleewog]

Hey, good video I did the Champ online course last winter while waiting for the good weather to come around again. I found the teachings within the program to be so grounding. Just the basic online helped me focus on the basics and how to bring those fundamentals into my day to day riding. I'm a decent rider as it stands with years of on and off road experience. Since I've purchased my first real streetbike and have applied those simple techniques, I feel that my riding as improved a little more. Reinforcing the techniques I grew up doing (where introduction "parking lot" schools steered me wrong). Every ride I come out pleased with one corner or find I can work on something, based on the little bit of knowledge I gained from the Yamaha school of riding. I hope to one day to actually participate in an actual track event with the champ school. I can't express enough of how much can be learned and applied from the Yamaha program. My mantra for today... "Yamaha School of Riding!! "

[@wadeblake3451]

Your comments are spot on imo. Having said that, my overall ability level is low enough that I am able to benefit from several top level track based riding schools. However, I specifically avoid the ones that strickly adhere to the slow, look, press and lean philosophy of cornering to the exclusion of trail braking.

[@zraybroske2416]

Usually dying from speeding through corners. Go the speed limit and watch the posted corner speeds people and don’t accelerate until you can see your exit.

[@CanyonChasers]

The speed limit isn't always a solid indicator. I've been on roads where there was no way I could go as fast as the speed limit. But you are spot on about waiting until you can see your exit. I really wish more programs taught this.

[@wadeblake3451]

In New Zealand almost all roads are two lane roads that wind through rural landscapes. Almost all of these roads have a speed limit of 100km/hour. Even in a four wheel cager attaining any way near the posted speed limit would be unlikely. Reading the corner, trail braking if needed until you are at the speed you are comfortable with and the beast between your legs is pointed in the direction you want to go is confidence inspiring.

[@Sw33tum]

I remember riding into Montana. Two lane alpine road, right at the top of the pass was Speed Limit 55 - right into an unmarked decreasing radius off-camber 2nd gear left with a cliff drop off. At the same time I've ridden roads with 30 mph advisories that were easily 60-70 mph sweepers.

Yeah. I cut out the part where I talked about that in more detail because it was getting a bit long. Basically most of the difference are adaptations to bike and/biomechanical difference. Like Colin Edwards has a long neck. Rossi has long legs, especially compared to Lorenzo, etc. But you'll also see them completely change "style" if it helps them win.

I took two days to drive to Tucson. I think they have stuff in PA and Eastern CO. How far away are you those places?

[@mojosdad68]

In Canada, we have very little as well. I ha e FAST school not far from me but it’s definitely more racer oriented.

I respect your original content. This eleven minute infomercial for a $2k product, not so much. If the title to the video had of been accurate, at least I’d known what I was getting into.

Secret is, speed kills

[@CanyonChasers]

Speed doesn't kill. Otherwise as soon as someone started going fast they'd die. It's the running into things that tends to get ya.

@@CanyonChasers The real secret is, excess speed kills

[@BlindIo42]

Speed never killed anyone. Suddenly becoming stationary is what gets ya.

You should be ashamed of yourself for the "race track not really any different than a public road" line at 12:00. They are obviously different, and in substantive ways. Contemptible. For shame, for shame, for shame.

Please explain to me how physics change between a track and a canyon.

Way to take something completely out of context and attack it..

@@Lawofselfdefense A track isn't fundamentally different than a road other than the margin of error and safety. It's still asphalt. It's still a motorcycle. You're still making it go around a corner. All the techniques you develop on a track can be used on any other twisty ribbon of asphalt. Make your case as to how riding on a track is so fundamentally different than riding a canyon - or are you just going to state your unsubstantiated opinion as if it's a fact and call people names who question you or ask you to explain your reasoning?
