Q. When is the best time to commence advanced riding techniques?
A. As soon as you’ve passed your test! Seriously though, there isn’t a wrong time to start. If you have recently passed, then why not develop good riding techniques from the start. 588 Advanced Rider Training doesn’t train bad habits out of riders. Bad habits are things like smoking (I’m using smoking as an example, not criticising!).
588 Advanced Rider Training philosophy is to get rid of bad learning. Bad learning is when we do something routinely which we accept as being correct because we don’t have a negative consequence through doing it - Until we do!
