Re: [ST] Riding Skills



I too wish there was a track for building road skills, not racing. Something like an unrelentingly twisty 3 mile road course. Some tight stuff like the Dragon with various radius sweepers thrown in. No straights of any length. Top speed of maybe 70 or 80 mph. There's probably no business case for something like this or it would exist already. Between corner workers, insurance, ambulance, track maintenance, etc it wouldn't be cheap...

It'd probably be easier to find some isolated twisty bit of public road, scout it for gravel, po-po, etc then use it as your practice area. Perhaps hire a coach to follow you, video you, etc and offer instruction. There's a guy, Larry Grotsky(?), that does that from a safety perspective around here (PA). $300 a day and you ride twisties in WV and OH while he talks to you over a chatterbox.
