Seriously: Everyone who drives should take this class. I have the greatest respect for the instructors, and for the course; you learn things you should already know, and you become instantly more aware of your surroundings. <\/p>\n
First thing: Target vision. Everyone who knows how to shoot, knows that you can’t hit what you can’t see. The converse is true, the better you can see something, the more liklihood you’ll hit it; and riding has a parallel: You go where you’re looking. In your car you don’t spend time looking at the ground, and you can’t on a bike. If you look into a turn, your eyes will literally drag you through the turn, I swear to god. You don’t believe it, but it’s true- you go where you look. Your body knows better than you how and where you will go, and it will do what it needs to do to get that bike where it needs to go.<\/p>\n
Second thing: A good helmet (if you’re going to wear one) is ESSENTIAL. An uncomfortable helmet sucks river water. <\/p>\n
Third thing: Practice. What kept me from a perfect score was only being able to practice each exercise two or three times. You should do this shit a thousand times. And I’m going to. <\/p>\n
Take the course. Even if you don’t intend to ride. It’s good knowledge, it’s a good course, and the incrased awareness will improve your driving skills 100%. Guarantreed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
