i've been debating on attending one of his classes... there are 2 in the area this year, and the price is reasonable.. i've seen the videos, but would assume real world instruction would be worth it. i'd love to be faster

I know a lot of people that have attended his classes. Lots of great comments.

I did the Dick Burleson class a while back. It is worth every penny.
If you do go to a riding class, try to get one that has only 12 or so riders. You will get more personal attention.

Default Watsy's class

This is Jhendr's friend, Phillip. I attended the Shane Watts class last year and it was a major success. I can not begin to tell you how much help it was. Shane is very personal in teaching, I would guess he spent over 2 hours with me alone at different times, very encouraging, very hands on. I mean grab you and put you in the right position, stand in the wrong line to force you to run the right line. And when my bike failed, handed me his. I had reached a point of burn out on riding, temporary insanity, the class re-lit my fire, gave me new skills, and made it all fun again. Any of the big name classes are good, but I just believe Watts has got to be one of the best. Oh, he is tough, broke his back earlier this year and already racing again, and fast, and a blast to watch ride. If he is in the area and you have the money and time, do it. Even if you don't ride a KTM. lol Jay!

I've done it and worth every penny. Don't think I've ever seen a negative comment. You will work hard and be tired by the end of both days. He will push you out of your comfort zone but in a good way. Just do it if you have the chance!
