There are so many ways to improve your skills and riding (Also comfort on the bike) Even at the highest levels we are always looking for ways to get better and be more at ease in the saddle. Next week I and most of my staff are signed up for a day of Trails riding and the week after we all are doing a gymkhana class. A couple weeks back most of the team members participated in Rich Olivers Mystery school.
The Fun and the learning never stops.
For the Riding Instructors in California we have annual Professional Development workshops. Since we took over the state program we moved those PDW events out of the conference room and out to locations where you ride. Instructors have to bring motorcycles. We have lots for them to do and participate in. They choose electives through the day for 30 minute blocks from being on the track, to low speed, gymkhana, dirt riding etc. there is also the usual classroom requirements but we are trying to expose them to more things and help them achieve the next level by exposing them to things they might not otherwise think about or do.
