Shane Watts class
doing the shane watts class next weekend... actually here locally about 30 miles from my house.. one of the "local" gg dealers , i was told, offered him a gg to do the class on, but since that dealer is 120 miles away, they went to a local dealers bikes... probably be a pumpkin... we also had an offer to put him on a 750 shadow (one of my buds) but i think he passed on that bike also..
cannot wait.. probably half of the class is my riding filled with our group of riders.. gonna be a great weekend..

watts school is awesome - all of the skills he teaches so obviously translate into the woods. the grinding exercise he teaches REALLY improves your greasy off camber skills. his rutted cornering technique is also amazing - significantly improved my body position, and i don't blow through berms anymore... the techniques he teaches really stick with you, and no matter your skill level, you WILL be faster after the class. you'll have a great time. i would even consider going again, if he had a school nearby this year...

that is exactly what i am looking for.. i am not fast at all, but can usually keep up.. i have just gotten to a point where i am not getting any faster and my corners and berms are horrible... i have had zero time on the 08 and am still working out the bugs on it.. probably will just ride the old 01, it fits like my work gloves..

Class is really great and you WILL be a tired puppy each day after not even getting out of 3rd gear for the entire day.
Would love to see Watt's on the GG and to get his impressions. He makes everything look so easy. A beautiful thing to watch.

This tells me U should be in good physical shape before taking his class. Does he ever travel to Wa. state?

you won't believe how much faster you can hit corners. his techniques work. make sure your bike is in tip top shape, you will be riding 75+% of the time.

Just did his one over here in AUS this weekend. Was awesome and learnt sooo much.
Really need to practice it all to make it worthwhile. We did 90 odd Klms for the 2 days and i was sore in alot of muscles ive never been before and i ride every weekend. It shows you that he really pushes for going past your comfort zone. Was really good. Well worth the dollars. He gave me a bit of humor about riding a GG but was all in good fun. I was the only one. And he was riding a KX not a pumkin. |

I have done two, second to get away for a weekend Never got the grinding the post down, but seem to do ok in the wild. pick up something new each time, the first was a mud-fest, 2nd dusty as heck but very different terrain.
Pretty sure Shane is a pumpkin-only kind of guy.
