MASTER THE ART

Learn on YOUR bike how to tackle every turn with our team of professionally-trained instructors. This allows you to master your own motorcycle and immediately transfer your new skills to the real world.

Our curriculum is powered by the Yamaha Champions Riding School (YCRS) — the same people who train the top riders in the country. The YCRS curriculum focuses on what the best riders do and apply those techniques to whatever experience or speed each student has. Class sizes are capped at 30 students to ensure a low instructor-to-student ratio so you get the maximum personal growth from the course, regardless of what riding experience you came with.

NEW RACER
CERTIFICATION

If you’ve never raced before, or it’s been more than two years since you’ve held a novice or equivalent license with a recognized club, then you need to attend the New Racer Certification (NRC) class. The class is offered twice a year in conjunction with an Apex Trackday. We reserve an entire session for the day so we get just as much track time as everyone else.

The NRC course consists of classroom instruction and track time.  The classroom instruction includes track familiarization, safety procedures, race procedures, flags, track courtesy, and other items.  Track time will consist of sighting laps, practice sessions, practice starts, and a mock race. Once you’ve safely completed the course, you are eligible to purchase a race license.
