oldguy said:A good instructor will never force someone to do what they are not capable of. Instead he will give advice and goals to work towards. Corners are far more important for speed then any jumps. Passing technique and starts are also important. Of all the classes my son attended I really do not remember any having jumping as a focus other than to make sure the rider was properly positioned on the bike and approaching the jump correctly.
Unless it is a private lesson chances are there will be beginners as well as advanced riders so the class has to cater to the middle riders level.
The instructor (and you) should not expect after one class you are going to be an all new super fast racer but instead will give techniques you have to practice afterwards and perfect
Patman said:Generally a private lesson indicates it's you and them and nobody else. If that is the case then you can specify what you want to learn or you can have them determine what you need to work on. If it is a group lesson at a private facility then it will be geared towards the middle of the class as mentioned. $300 for 2 days at 8 hours for 1 on 1 is insanely cheap.
That is NOT a private lesson even if it is held in your bedroom. A 'private' lesson is you and the instructor- nobody else to distract himLEllis7motox said:All i know right now is that there are alot of little kids on 50's and stuff going up... but i am sure some of the adults are going up but at the most id say 20-30 people will be there, but probably not even that.
Well as long as nobody else shows up you'll be the fastest.... maybe. :laugh:LEllis7motox said:All i know right now is that there are alot of little kids on 50's and stuff going up...
Good point. If it's all 50s then most of the time would be wasted for an older more experienced rider. I wouldn't spend 300 bucks to ride with a bunch of 50s, even though I may have a chance at crossing the finish line first. :laugh:oldguy said:That is NOT a private lesson even if it is held in your bedroom.

Whenever Spider went to a school we set it up so that the class consisted of the same kids he raced against week after week. That way they were all generally the same level and the instructor was not handling 50s and A level at the same time.
