In today's age of high-horsepower superbikes, large-displacement cruisers and super-heavy-weight touring bikes, riding skills are more important than ever for safe, fun motorcycling. Unfortunately for experienced riders, there is a large gap between the Motorcycle Safety Foundations Experienced RiderCourse (ERC) and the many racetrack schools around the country.
Experience has shown after introducing thousands of new motorcyclists to the sport and fun of motorcycling, that many of these students return to me and ask where they can go to improve their skills on their motorcycle. These riders are interested in improving their skills, but don’t want to take on the additional risks associated with a high-speed environment such as going to the track. If you’re one of those interested riders, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, Lee Parks' Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic (Total Control ARC) has a solution for those experienced riders caught in the middle, as well as those track-day junkies and racers who want to be able to further enhance their skills in a controlled environment with expert instruction.
DragonSafe Enterprises is the first training facility in the state of Tennessee to offer the Total Control Advanced Riding Clinic. Our classes are held monthly and we offer the course in two separate locations. The first location is in Maryville Tennessee and the other is located in Fontana, North Carolina.
Cornering technique is the primary focus of the Total Control ARC. Individual skills include corner entry, line selection, body position and corner exit. There are slightly different versions of these depending on the type of bike ridden, but all follow the same philosophical principals that are taught in the course. Throttle control and throttle/brake transitions are also covered in great detail. Additionally, super-tight, low-speed, "parking lot" turns are taught. | | The Total Control ARC's Promises
The Total Control ARC is committed to making you a better and safer rider and in doing so makes these promises:
-
Specific, measurable improvement in your riding. No matter what skill level you are now, the Total Control ARC will make a recognizable difference in your ability to control your bike. -
Better understanding of how your bike works. How what you do affects your bike's ability to maintain traction and control. -
The ability to self-diagnose riding problems in the future. While it's great to be able to ride better in front of a skilled coach, it's equally important to be able to coach yourself when you detect a riding problem in the future. There are enough support materials in our package to help make sure you won't forget what you learned during your training. -
High teacher-to-student ratio. Each class is divided in groups with never more than six students per instructor for lots of individual attention and support. -
Friendly, professional service. The Total Control ARC instructors are highly trained and carefully handpicked for their teaching abilities and friendly dispositions. Your experience at the Total Control ARC will be a positive one.
Total Control Level 2
Takes off where the original left off. More challenging exercises from the best-selling book "Total Control" plus some exciting new ones mean the students will take their riding to a whole new level.
Topics covered include:
In TC Solo, we combine the skills from Level 1 and 2, and experience them at significantly higher speeds, mimicking the g-forces of track riding.
Participants MUST have completed Total Control ARC Level 1 as a prerequisite. |
