Performance Rider Education
Advanced Rider Training
The UtahSBA keystone element is our Advanced Rider Training programs. Our ART schools allow riders of all skill levels to learn basic and advanced sport riding skills in a safe and controlled environment. Our primary facility is the Monster Mile kart track at Miller Motor Sports Park . We believe that in order to go fast, riders need to first learn how to go slow. If you cannot perform at 30 miles per hour, how can you expect to perform at 80 miles per hour? Schools are taught on the smaller course, where mistakes cause less damage and very rarely result in injury. However, we also provide the occasional Super-ART at larger facilities where speeds are greater.
Our Advanced Rider Training programs are non-competitive, track-based curriculums 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 subsidices the prices of all of our programs through volunteer efforts from our membership.
