Performance Rider Education

Advanced Rider Training

Advanced Rider Training

Core to the mission of UtahSBA are our Advanced Rider Training (ART) programs. ART's are non-competitive, track-based classes that teach motorcycle control, proficiency and smoothness by providing lots of hands-on track time and high-quality, individual instruction at the lowest possible price. The UtahSBA is a not-for-profit organization that subsidizes the prices of all of our programs through volunteer efforts from our membership and our racing program.

Our primary school facility is the extremely technical Monster Mile at Miller Motorsports Park in Tooele, Utah. Schools are taught on the smaller course where mistakes cause less damage and very rarely result in injury. Don't let the small track fool you, it's the perfect place to practice riding fundamentals because it rewards smooth, fluid riding and control. Our Super ART is held on the big track for an amazing experience, where the new student has more room / time to maneuver, the speeds are a little higher and the return student can safely practice their new skills learned from expert instructors.


ART Class Levels

TEAM 1 is for the street rider interested in learning safe street riding skills and improving your comfort level on their bike and on the street.

TEAM 2 will help the street rider who is interested in doing Track days and improving their skills on the race track. This course along with an NRC (New Racer Certification) will enable a person to get their race license and start their racing endeavors.

If you're just starting out on a motorcycle, our partners at Motorcycle Safety Foundation have outstanding entry-level training classes. They teach riding fundamentals every rider should know and practice to ride safely.
