Yamaha Champions Riding Schools are immersive in-person training events. The primary product and the foundation for all our curriculums is the 2-Day ChampSchool. ChampSchool events are very exclusive with a focus on highly personalized training and a student to instructor ratio of 4:1 or less. Yamaha Motorcycles, Dainese Gear, and Arai Helmets are available as options for a complete “arrive and ride” experience.
In addition to ChampSchool 2-Day programs, we also offer ChampStreet and ChampGrad. ChampGrad is for two-day ChampSchool graduates and is designed to focus on your specific goals. It is a semi-private program, with a :2:1 student-to-instructor ratio. ChampStreet is taught on your street bike, with your street gear at less than highway speeds. No leathers required.
Champ U is our way of getting motorcycling Best Practices into your hands, wherever you are in the world. Developed and driven by experts, these courses will take your riding to the next level and set you up for success – no matter what that success looks like. The Core Curriculum is the foundation to all of our online classes – we’d recommend you start there!
Champ U: New Rider is the first step in the process of developing a new skillset, making new friends, finding new adventures, and sharing them with others. Yes, a process: there is a logical, understandable, explainable, doable process to becoming a safe and confident motorcycle rider.

Our ChampStreet program is designed for street riders of all levels. The courseis taught on your street motorcycle with your street gear, no leathers required, no race bikes allowed! After all, your bike doesn’t know or care if it’s on a track or street or parking lot, it simply works wonderfully or poorly based on rider input. Safety and fun: the goals of our ChampStreet program.
We are very fortunate to have significant reach and influence through out the motorcycle industry. We are often approached with offers of support from companies both in and out of the motorcycle industry and we spend a significant amount of time politely saying no to companies who don’t meet our quality standards and don’t align with our mission. This has given us the luxury to choose which sponsors we partner with. We have chosen to partner with each of the companies below because we sincerely believe they make the best products available.
Want to ride really well for a long, long time? Master the brakes. “Sure,” you say, “that’s a great idea. But how and what do I practice?”We include this Braking Practice class for several reasons: 1-Poor braking practice can be painful and we’ve seen riders crash with poor technique 2-Our motorcycles stop really well when properly operated, better than most riders can believe 3-“Practice makes permanent” and following this braking-practice regimen will set you up for a life of confident and consistent brake use.
We hear and read crazy things about a motorcycle’s rear brake, but since motorcycle designers attach them to every bike from MotoGP machines to scooters, it makes sense to learn to operate them effectively.This class looks at proper use of the rear brake and how that use differs depending upon bike wheelbase, front-brake use, bike load, and pavement conditions. It’s easy to think that “brakes slow me down”, and while that’s true, the rear brake is used by experts to slow the bike…and the weight transfer. Let us show you how and why.
The first three Champions Habits focus each rider on the priorities of safe and fun motorcycle riding, and these three core approaches reside under an Umbrella of Direction. In other words, everything we do on our bikes serves to get the motorcycle pointed in the right direction prior to accelerating, whether we are leaving our neighborhoods on the way to work, enjoying a Rocky Mountain canyon, or competing on the track. The skills and approaches taught at ChampU will make life-long street riders and championship-winning roadracers, but all those mental and physical tips and lessons reside under this single main goal of every great rider: motorcycle direction.
Our third core Champions Habit examines the direct effect that our bike’s speed has on our cornering radius, and how each rider can exactly control speed during every inch of every corner with accessible techniques like trail-braking awesomeness and neutral throttle mastery. R=MPH examines the main safety issue that plagues our sport, running wide in corners, and draws a clear and understandable approach to any corner, from intersection left turns to backroad sweepers to racetrack hairpins. Understanding how speed affects radius plus learning how to apply these bike-control techniques in every corner is key to safe and enjoyable motorcycle riding.
It’s easy to spin off into theoretic studies of tire hysteresis and asphalt compounding in an effort to understand traction, but before your eyes glaze over let us tell you that grip is much simpler to understand and manage while onboard your bike: welcome to our second core Champions Habit. Our tires have a finite amount of traction, a scale that slides based on understandable factors like pavement condition, tire temperature and wear, and rubber compound. We, the onboard engineers, manage traction by how we load and unload each tire via the bike’s controls. We are constantly trading throttle percentage points, brake points, and lean-angle points to retain traction during every ride on any bike.
New riders are often surprised by the amount of mental concentration necessary to survive and thrive on two wheels, and not just on the racetrack. Street riding requires as much or more focus and our first core Champions Habit asks everyone who decides to ride a motorcycle to be “all in” mentally. In fact, we encourage every rider to increase their mental focus in every aspect of their life so that their “focus muscle” will be ready when it really counts: on two wheels. The mental approach of champions instructs riders to get focused pre-ride, refocus during the ride and immediately get over any mistakes with a mantra and a “what’s next” attitude.
We watch our racing heroes hanging radically off their bikes, but how does that pertain to us? What should we do on the street, on the track, and why? What’s more important, lower body or upper body? Where should our feet be? We’ve got questions!As we delve into the how and why, we also examine the when. When do we move our weight onto the footpeg, when do track riders sit up or tuck in, when should our heads be the lowest during track riding? Bring us your questions, we’ve got solid body position answers.
Our car, truck, van? That’s a four-wheeled practice motorcycle that provides a relatively safe place to practice riding. Think of steering-wheel angle as lean angle and use every drive to focus on the blending of brakes, throttle and steering.We can practice great vision habits of scanning out and back, practice placing our “bike” safely in traffic, practice the smoothness of initial acceleration, braking and steering. Who would have thought that driving those silly cars could be so enlightening?
The primary reason to downshift is to put the bike in the gear we need for the future. That could be for a corner exit, to pass a car, to climb a hill or to get the bike back to first gear before leaving a stop.A secondary benefit of downshifting is to increase engine braking during deceleration, but for significant slowing the brakes are a much more efficient, repeatable, and affordable option.We are often downshifting while braking and this class walks you through the timing and process of this operation, an operation that includes a rev-match to smooth the clutch engagement in the lower gear. This “blip” of throttle prior to clutch-lever release is the mark of an expert rider and ChampU gives you the steps to expert downshifting.
Crashes don’t happen on perfect days, riding slowly on roads we know on a bike we’ve owned for years, they happen when we are surprised by circumstances and don’t have the skills to adapt. Welcome to “Pointy End of the Cone Drill”, another of ChampSchool’s ever-changing real-world drills.In this challenging drill, instructors lay cones on the track and riders must place their bike to the pointy end of the cones. And they change every lap!We struggle in this drill when one (or more) of three failures arise: 1-We quit scanning out and back and out and back with our eyes 2-We quit using our brakes effectively, especially at lean angle 3-We quit moving our bodies to help direct the motorcycle. Eyes, Brakes, Body: The secret to thriving in challenging real-world circumstances…and our pointy-end drill.
Spend a few minutes in this class to learn how to fit our bikes to our bodies. Motorcycles come off the assembly line or out of the dealership with settings that could get in the way of our riding enjoyment; let’s take advantage of all these adjustments!That used bike we saved for and finally brought home might not “fit” us, but with a few tips from our Crew Chief Keith Culver, we’ll make it our own. We included this lesson because we adjust ergonomics for students at almost every school, making them more comfortable in just a few short minutes with basic hand tools.
Yamaha Champions Riding School: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: In terms of virtual instruction, this is the peak. These instructors teach you the most important habits, dare I say the only habits you must master. Videos are super easy to understand and fun to watch, with plenty of demonstration. Nothing convoluted or boring about Yamaha Champ School. HIGHLY recommend to any rider, novice or vet. Young or old. Fast or slow. Worth every penny.
Experiencia fantástica: I think this is the best value and most comprehensive online motorcycle course you'll find on the internet. It has a wealth of information and answers all the questions you might have and some I didn't think of. I orginally enrolled in the The Core Curriculum and found the material informative and engaging with quizes and where you can also ask questions, it was so good that I signed up for the other courses Traffic Survival, Track Day and New Rider. My background is that I am acreditated motorcycle instructor and a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering and these range of courses have something for everyone. I highly recommend anyone with from a new rider to highly experienced rider try at least one course as I'm sure you will find it invaluable to improving your riding.
Experiencia fantástica: These courses at Champ U are money very well spent! You will not regret it!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve passed the motorcycle driver’s license in Belgium, Japan and the US. Ive been riding for 30 years or so. And i still learned some things in this course, either “why” or “how”. All in a no-nonsense practical format. Best content out there today imho, with the credibility pf people whose lives depend on the quality of their advice. Nicely done!
Thank you for the kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: This online course was thorough, informative and well-done. The instructors have the perfect blend of theory, reality and comedy. The technical portion was covered completely yet simply. Highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I have gone through this course twice. The first time took two days. The amount of information and practice drills in this course is much more than I expected. If you are confused about anything repeat the lesson or go through the entire course again. The second time around, I understood things I did not understand the first time around. The instructors thoroughly understand the science of motorcycling, and there is most certainly a science and found a way to relate it to the rest of us. Having taken the course twice, I can say they succeeded very well at giving easy-to-understand explanations. The cost of the course is quite affordable if you consider it took two days to finish it.
Experiencia fantástica: great information I am looking forward to putting it into practice!
Experiencia fantástica: Reporting out after 2 day Yamaha Champions Riding School, Mid-Ohio. Concerning motorcycles, I have been trained, taught, instructed, guided, etc. over the years. Often such advice falls into Oscar Wilde territory - I always pass it on, for it is rarely of any use to me. But one tends to get what one pays for, and this school is anything but cheap. $2,900 + $800 bike rental + travel, accommodation etc. Let’s call it $5k and 5 days all in. The school is preceded by ~6hrs online lectures, videos, quizzes. Nick Ienatsch speaks calmly, and deconstructs every aspect of riding and racing, explaining the physics of a motorcycle and philosophy of riding. Trainers are professionally impeccable. Cody Wyman, Tino Pietri, Eziah Davis, Stefano Mesa are all storied champions in North American racing. They know their craft, and are able to articulate what and how they do it. In addition to learning to ride faster, the course stresses how to ride safer, and how to mitigate the reasons we crash - lack of focus, abruptness, etc. Relearning braking, braking lighter and longer - past tip in, trading lean (risk) & brakes within available grip. Gentleness on & off the brakes to preserve geometry. TBH I never would have thought I could be comfortable approaching a 90° turn at ~100mph and rely purely on rear brake & throttle, yet there I was. I am not the fastest out on the track, and perhaps never will be. But this school has given me the tools, I now know what I never knew, to maximize my success by riding safer, smoother, and faster. At the start of day one I was tentative, on an unknown bike, focusing on systematically applying each of the aspects. Last free lap of day 2, I passed three riders in a sweeping move at the T12-13 that I had hunted down, three full turns behind at the outset. I started planing the move at T6 as I caught up with the back marker of the group. One of the three commented later - wow, you were flying, we three were really trying hard and you cut through like we were standing still and took the turn so smooth - an uphill left hander. Barber Vintage Festival we shall see if I have beaten my daemons. 5 stars would recommend. #yamahachampionsridingschool #yamahachampu #ahrma #motorcycleracing #vintageracing #bikerescueandprotection
Experiencia fantástica: It's amazing! So much information!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely best course I have taken. The weatlh of knowledge that these instructors have cannot be understated. Whether you are new to riding or an experienced rider you will come out of this curriculum a better rider. The emphasis on braking. Especially the front brake and trail braking has been invaluable to me as a motorcycle rider.
Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: Wow. Great course. Introducing new concepts with concrete examples. Quizzes to reinforce learning. Each module builds on the previous. Excellent.
Experiencia fantástica: Clear and well. Even for me because i anderstand Englisch a littlebit!!! I love these people! It is whit passion!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Being a new rider, it is great to get the correct information. This online course has allowed me to gain more confidence and enjoyment. Every rider should be forced to take this course.
Experiencia fantástica: I've been riding for years, but even in the first modules I learned what I was doing wrong and how to correct it. Now I enjoy "twisties" rather than dreading them. I'm much more confident, and safer. I highly recommend Yamaha Champions Riding School to improve your ability, safety, confidence, and of course fun!
Love this! We're so glad you enjoyed the course!
Experiencia fantástica: I learned two things from this course that, literally, saved my life a few days later. DO THIS COURSE!!!
We'd love to hear more about this!
Experiencia fantástica: I'm a 63 year old rider who bought my first bike 6 years ago. I've been completely self taught through books and YouTube videos. Nick's book and YouTube videos are at the top of the list. The Champ U course wraps it all up in a neat little bow. I'm enrolled in Champ School in October and can't wait!
We're looking forward to having you!
Experiencia fantástica: Did the CORE CURRICULUM & TRAFFIC SURVIVAL, they were very well done. The course opened my eyes to a lot of things I was not focused on, from safety to how the bike was designed to handle and perform. I would recommend it to everyone who rides.
Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: Very clear and straightforward. Would recommend espacialy to newer riders, byt might be useful to experienced ones to put your skills in proper order.
Experiencia fantástica: I did the champ school and it was amazing. The instructions were patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. The instruction was great and I feel like I can ride a lot safer now. Tons of fun, well worth it. Great guys. Their only class Champ U is extremely good and a lot of fun personalities as well.
Experiencia fantástica: I just finished the CHAMPION HABITS: THE CORE CURRICULUM course and I am greatly impressed with the content which was covered and have already recommended the course to friends. I am 74 (75 in a few months) and I have been riding for approx. 25 yrs. The adage "you're never too old to learn" is aptly true especially for this motorcycle enthusiast! Note also that I am a member of the Buffalo Soldiers & Troopers Motorcycle Club and one of the standards we uphold is "safe riding"! I recently had breakfast with a few soldiers and was pleased to find out the the president of our chapter in Hartford, CT had previously taken the course and also had rave reviews regarding the course. I thank you for providing this course online and hopefully will take the on site course in the near future. I am a better rider today than I was 4 days ago when I began the course! Paul S.
Experiencia fantástica: I just completed the New rider and Core curriculum at ChampU and I can testify that these programs are carefully designed by experts to enhance a riders safety and riding experience. Having this online enabled me to access high quality training even though there are no riding schools near me. I can't thank you enough YCRS
Experiencia fantástica: YCRS sets the benchmark for accurate and useful riding instruction. I’ve taken their one day champ school course, and two of their ChampU courses. Each time I’ve come away with new habits that break the old ones formed by poor prior instruction.
Experiencia fantástica: You guys rock! Lots of useful and applicable information to real life situations. I am riding way more aware of my surroundings.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent course. One of the best online training programs I've ever taken on any material. Useful. Practical. Well paced-spaced. Good simple technology controls.
Experiencia fantástica: I thought the material shared was relevant and easy to understand. the instructors did a great job!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent in all respects. Every single instructor was engaged, engaging and mastered the transfer of knowledge of the entire spectrum of the curriculum. You will be a better rider, starting with the first lesson. Thanks to ChampU, cast and crew.
Experiencia fantástica: This program effectively covers the details related to becoming a better, safer rider...all in a manner that is organized, understandable, and easy to follow. The best investment I have ever made in being a safer, better motorcycle rider.
Experiencia fantástica: Taking ChampU online course. Very good, and easy to follow explantions to how to ride and the rationale behind it. The videos are expicative and I'm learning new things and/or gettig a better understand of what I'm doing. The questions at the end of the sections are good but the multiple choice answers are so childish, almost ridiculous. They should be there for checking how much the of the lesson is retained and understood, not just to get to the next section. Revise those "wrong alternatives" in the answers please! Minus half a star
Experiencia fantástica: I am so glad that I found this course in the MOA mag. It was very informative and it just goes to show that with 35 years of riding there is always more to learn. I'm off to the next course.
Experiencia fantástica: These stars are for the ChampU Traffic Survival course. The advice about riding in the shade/shadow of other traffic was new to me and made a lot of sense. I am looking forward to applying the lessons I've learned in this course to my daily riding.
Experiencia fantástica: A truly great online course, very detailed and right on point! And it saved my butt a couple of times! Thanks guys!
Experiencia fantástica: The video presentations were extremely well done; close and personal discussions as if you were standing there on the track! All the information provided whether on the track, street, hyway, etc. were all beneficial and in some cases heard and repeated many times throughout the training....the importance of Smooth operation in terms of applying the brakes, or throttle, weight transfer, were carefully discussed and then shown in close and personal demonstrations by Nick and all his staff members...I will finish up by performing the drills as outlined in the program to further my skills before coming to one of the two day track locations in the USA! I urge you to take this course and open your mind to the detailed instructions that will make you a safer and better focused SMOOTH driver in all driving conditions!
Experiencia fantástica: This online course is clear, concise, and the perfect way to become a better rider off the bike.
Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic course. I highly recommend this for anyone who rides. No matter if you’re a new rider or an experienced veteran there is something to pick up. Plus it’s a great way to get ready for the season when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Experiencia fantástica: I've been riding for over 40 years and still had plenty of take aways from this course. I highly recommend it to all riders.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely great course for those that cannot attend a course in person. The information is invalueable and the drills are a great way to improve your riding. You will not regret becoming a student. I highly recommend!
Experiencia fantástica: I live outside of the United States, so taking the actual live courses probably won't happen anytime soon... :-( But I took their online "Champ U" core course, and it's really good - lots of useful information and insights I would not think about by myself. These guys put a lot of dedication on their work. I recommend Champ U to any rider looking for good, consolidated information to keep on improving. Also, I hope YCRS keeps these online courses available and updated as time goes by.
Experiencia fantástica: I have taken two online courses and they both cement in skills that I have learned by experience(40 years riding), and corrected some bad habits. While on active duty I took the MSF beginners and advanced courses, these go well beyond those. they help explain a lot of the why behind the what. I also believe they teach some methods that differ and are better than the MSF courses. I highly recommend them
Experiencia fantástica: I have attended a lot of riding schools but the Champ School rates as my #1 pick as a track school. They aren't cheap but if you can afford it, it's worth the money.
Experiencia fantástica: I find the ChampC course excellent. I am 78 and have been riding for 20 years. I have ridden in Europe a couple times and Africa a couple times as well as all over the US and Canada. I have taken off road training as well as the initial basic training opportunities. I find that this course is not a review of skills that I have picked up, I am learning new riding skills that I should have been using for the last 20 years. I am looking forward to becoming a better technical rider when it stops snowing.
Experiencia fantástica: I'm taking the online Core Curriculum course. This was promoted and supported through the BMW MOA. I am very impressed and very satisfied with what I have seen so far. I always used to read and re-read David Hough's Motorcycle riding book during the winter to get myself ready for spring and a new riding season (up here we have what's called winter ...a VERY non riding season). The Champ U course has taken me farther and with a greater understanding of riding dynamics than Hough's books. I am very impressed at the quality of the on line course both in the information presented and the way it is presented. I feel it will help make me both a safer AND better rider. I wholly recommend it!!
Experiencia fantástica: I have been following Nick for years. These courses are incredibly informative. Every rider should take them.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Core online course. Very well made videos with very clear explanations of the concepts, techniques and drills. Just the right amount of seriousness and levity. Highly recommended.
Experiencia fantástica: An amazing online course to take! positive, concise, and fun. The hard work of these instructors and crew that made this program is a true gift to the motorcycling community. I'm glad to be apart of it, and would love to take the actual course in my area when it comes into town.
Experiencia fantástica: After years of riding and lots of time between training classes, this program was a great refresher of best practices and I did take away many items to help me become a smoother/faster rider. Shout out to BMWMOA for bringing the class to my attention!
Experiencia fantástica: I joined their online course "CHAMPIONS HABITS: The Core Curriculum". Super detail, super easy to understand, super helpful... I practice their drills daily - until now (for over last 2 years). Highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: I did the core habits and the traffic survival courses. I enjoyed the online courses overall. The content was insightful and well-structured. However, the only drawback was the audio quality, which occasionally had static noise, affecting the overall experience.
Experiencia fantástica: The online school is excellent; can't wait for the in person school in Feb. I have done up to level 4 in the California Superbike School, and can report the Yamaha Champ School has totally different offerings. I highly recommend both, if you can swing it. The Champ School online component gets into the fine details of technique, which I LOVE!. The drills are a huge help.
Experiencia fantástica: The training is professionally tailored for the experienced rider, Nick and his team do a really good job at keeping the student engaged, and providing solid rationalization for the techniques advocated. The only criticism I would have thus far would be the launch training email. Once registered for the course, it would be nice to have an email with a large, “launch training” button to get the student immediately into the course.
Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the most impactful and valuable education I've ever had in motorcycling, both on and off the track. The YCRS curriculum and its derivatives are the best value per dollar to be had, and ChampSchool helped me maximize my return on seat time. The amount of talent in the front of the classroom was insane, yet they took the time and patience to explain everything incredibly clearly and concisely. The on track drills worked insanely well, giving me quick confidence to brake deep to the slowest point, and pick up pace safely. I should have taken this sooner, and will for sure be back for the grad program next year. Thanks to Chip Spalding, Robertino Pietri, Ben Walters, and the others for your time and patience, and thanks AJ Ciampa for the push to register. Have a great winter, see you all next year.
Experiencia fantástica: At first, I was distracted by Nick's enormous arms, but I quickly found the content of the course to be even more engaging. I have heard conflicting information from well-meaning friends, YouTube videos, and strangers at Deal's Gap, so it has been very valuable to learn from the professionals through Champ U. I am looking forward to attending Champ School soon to help solidify the concepts as I work to become a more proficient rider.
Experiencia fantástica: Great value. Highly recommended for any skill level and worth while reviewing on a frequent basis. Always something to pick up and continue to polish with your riding skills.
Experiencia fantástica: It was the best accurate informative knowledge that I ever received because this course are taught by expert racers and has proven it over and over again.
Experiencia fantástica: Best of the Best! This is a must if you are thinking of riding or currently riding. Super!!!
Experiencia fantástica: I recently attended Champ Street on Thursday 9/14 at Carolina Motorsports Park. I just wanted to share that Scott and Mark were phenomenal instructors. Not only did they present the program content clearly and seriously , they did it while keeping it fun, entertaining, and engaging. I feel like the instructors had as much fun teaching as our class did learning, and I think it really shows that they have a true desire to teach others and help them grow their skills. I really did get a good basic understanding of the class concepts from the champ u program….I actually purchased this a while back, as I didn’t know it was included with the in-person class signup…but the in person class just helped to build on this and practicing these drills on the kart track was a blast. I have been riding for 17 years, but I should have taken this class a lot sooner. I feel like a much more educated rider, and a safer one! The only things I would have liked would be: -More personal feedback on top of what was already provided…I understand they can only do so much with a fairly large group -A longer class day to practice more, I was there excited and ready to go the night before. The day went fast and I was sad to see it end. I definitely plan to return and take this class again, maybe make it a yearly training refresher….. I’m really considering the full 2 day experience as well. Thank you Scott and Mark, and thank you YCRS!
Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommend the street course! I signed up to further my technical skills and the instructors (Scott and Mark) made learning simple and fun. Plenty of practice time and instant feedback. Our group of 14 all left with more confidence on the bike. These guys genuinely care to make you a better rider and it shows in the course. Well worth the time and money so if you are on the fence, go ahead and sign up!
Experiencia fantástica: The online CORE curriculum is outstanding. I'm amazed how little this street rider actually knew about riding and how much I learned. The quality of the production, content, and class structure is incredible. Taught by absolute experts who are as talented at teaching as riding. I can't wait to, once I build new habits through practice, participate in an in-person program.
Experiencia fantástica: Lots of great tips! Instructions will either reinforce your existing habits and build your confidence, or they'll fix your longstanding wrong habits and make you a better rider. Take the course, worthy investment
Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommended. Excellent in-person and online courses with useful, targeted content relevant to any level motorcycle rider whether riding on the street or track. The online courses are accessible to anyone anywhere you don’t just need to be in the USA! Thanks so much for putting this course and content together. Well done Yamaha Champions Riding School Team.
Experiencia fantástica: After decades of riding I was amazed at how much I did not know. These people are truly experts and have the skill to communicate in a way to make you safer and faster on the track or street.
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been riding for many years, and just from what I’ve learned from ChampU has made a difference in how I ride. I am really looking forward to the ChampStreet that I’ve enrolled in.
Experiencia fantástica: I’m doing the online course as I am actually located in Brazil. Absolutely love it. Very easy and very smart chapter organization, subdivided into several sub videos with adequate lenght, so that they are not too short, but also not long to loose YouTube attention. I really recommend this course. Worth every dollar
Experiencia fantástica: So many critical basic MC riding skills; which I had this resource when I was in my 20's and not in my 60's.
Experiencia fantástica: The Best Investment I've made all year! I learned so much by taking this ChampU Online Course. My motorcycle riding skills, knowledge and confidence has greatly improved by applying the many basic core principles taught in this amazing program! Every rider should do this! Thank you so much!
Experiencia fantástica: Very helpful and informative. I believe every rider should experience Yamaha Champions Riding School.
Experiencia fantástica: Champ U is the online course that the Yamaha Champions Riding School offers to complement their in-person training sessions. This is an excellent course: well-organized, really informative and applicable course to make you a better and safer rider. Totally worth the affordable price they charge. Can't recommend this highly enough - along with going out to practice what they teach!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely worth every penny! It is called ChampSchool because our coaches were multi-time racing champions in MotoAmerica, WERA, and others. And they teach all the latest techniques to future champions at every iteration of their program. The curriculum continuously evolves as new champions demonstrate novel ways to become faster and safer. This means that what is seen in one year may change as new riders take the podium after introducing new techniques. The course also includes advance access to ChampU, a well-designed online course. ChampU enables students to become well-versed in the lessons and techniques prior to the 2-day event. This means that only a short classroom refresher is needed so more time can be spent on the track. I signed up for ChampSchool as I had been a road rider for decades and a dirt rider for several years, but was brand new to track racing. With only one track day prior to attending, it was phenomenal to see how much my skills improved over this two day event! I figured I should learn proper skills early rather than having to break bad habits learned from friends, fellow track riders, and "Internet Professors." Does the training work? I was 40 mph faster and lap times were slashed by over 15 seconds when I returned to Summit Point for my next track day! A couple of bonuses: the 2-day course includes an introduction to ChampBody which was developed and led by a yoga instructor and an orthopedic rehab clinician. It focuses on three factors to help riders stay safer and go faster: Mind, Body, and Bike. ChampBody is also now offered as an online course to learn the fitness, mobility, and nutrition habits to take your riding to another level. Another new addition is ChampGrad. This school is only available for ChampSchool graduates looking to move beyond general track riding training to working on specific areas that you want to work on improving. With a 2:1 student-instructor ration, it is sure to correct targeted track challenges. The entire staff was excellent, the track was great, food was delicious, and I walked away a far Safer, Faster rider after 2 days than in my prior 30+ years of riding. I cannot recommend ChampSchool enough!
Experiencia fantástica: The online course is super helpful. Looking forward to in person in sept
Experiencia fantástica: ChampU - Champions Habits Core Curriculum - Valuable theory and skills demonstrated by expert riders. The course is clear, thorough, accessible, and fun. A very rewarding and enjoyable course to do. Without a doubt I continue to become a better, safer rider thanks to YCRS, and I'm enjoying riding even more. Thanks to everyone at the school.
Thank you!!
Experiencia fantástica: The Yamaha Champions Core Curriculum is an amazing online course, that I would recommend to all motorcycle enthusiast. Even though I've been riding for several years, this course taught me a lot and made me recognize some of the things I was doing were incorrect and now with what I learned from the course, I can now be a better, safer rider. Take this course, it's well worth it.
Experiencia fantástica: I've been teaching MSF & CMSP basic courses since 1991, taken Keith Code Superbike School, a Rawhyde introductory ADV course and more, and found Champ U to be a great supplement to everything I've learned before. I knew about trail-braking and many other skills described in this series. However, the cadre explain it so much better than I knew before and the exercises are ideal for turning it into muscle memory. I enjoyed it so much, and found it so useful, that I'm paying for my 20-yr old son to take it too!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent. Extremely happy. Very professional. Especially the segment on breaking. I have a much better understanding of trail braking. My problem is I can’t find a Champ School or track near me in Raleigh NC. Anyway, thank you again. Michael
Experiencia fantástica: This class takes you way beyond MSF BRC. You get to understand how the bike works and how to be a better rider. One of the online classes I have ever done.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent, very well conceived, extremely helpful course. I think every motorcycle rider should benefit from this valuable training.
Experiencia fantástica: Been riding since 1970 and this is hands down the best money I ever spent on motorcycling. Skills I’ve learned over the years such as trail braking body position body timing throttle hand shifting etc now all come together seamlessly. This course will make anyone a faster smoother safer and SMARTER rider. I recommend this course to EVERYONE I ride with. I salute you all at Champ U. You’ve saved many riders from injury or worse. There is no reason not to even for seasoned riders because the truth is we’re ALL still learning. It’s ‘affordable immediately available’ and with a chance to hear from all the number 1 plate holders at Champ U it’s a no brainier! I don’t care how many miles you’ve got under your belt this course will make you a better rider. Get Champ U! This is an update. I’m going thru the Champ U curriculum for the second time. I honestly believe it’s a good idea to keep going thru the entire program because it keeps everything fresh in your mind. I’m a two to five time a week canyon rider in Southern California mostly on Angeles Crest and Angeles Forest (even met a couple Champ U instructors up there last year) some of the most iconic and recognized roads anywhere in the world. Also some of the most dangerous as there are cliffs that are 1000s of feet down. If you run wide up there you better have a parachute. Champ U has kept me safe from me. Cheers to all the creators and instructors at Champ U! You’re saving lives and there is no more obvious benefit for riders to complete the course. I urge all riders that see this review to embark on this journey. Like me you’ll find it will be the best money you ever spend on motorcycling.
Amazing! Did you pick anything up your second time through the course that you missed the first time?
Experiencia fantástica: Very good coaches and riding school for street and track . Worth every penny you will become a better rider for life.
Experiencia fantástica: The ChampU course is incredibly helpful. There's nothing else like it online - no amount of youtube videos can even compare to the content provided here. It's an absolute steal to receive such professional education at such a cheap price. And the videos are always accessible in the account so forget about searching for conflicting information online and just reference this course whenever in doubt. It cuts through all the BS and gives you the proper info to be a better rider. I experienced immediate improvements practicing what was taught and I'm truly glad I decided to take the course to build foundational skills before I develop habits that could become dangerous. I'll certainly attend the in person school one day. Thank you so much YCRS for creating an accessible source of truth for riders!
Experiencia fantástica: Of all the dollars I spend on riding, these were the best value. Great instructional videos with practical applications for everyday riding. Look forward for other courses to continue to hone skills.
Experiencia fantástica: This was the most comprehensive and complete riding experience I have ever participated in. This is the curriculum to really improve your skills and unlearn bad habits. There are numerous drills and lessons over the course of two days and if you LISTEN, take honest notes and apply with humility your coaches feedback; you WILL improve. Excellent coaches. Fun and friendly environment rain or shine. (I got both). Cody; Thank you man. With your critique, I shaved 4 seconds off my lap time over Memorial day weekend at my home track at Advanced pace by accelerating to brake lighter, longer and until happy with speed and direction... You monsieur, are the man. Huge thanks to Eziah, Emerson and Stefano. I'm a faster, more confident and technical rider because of all the input and practical advice throughout all the track time. 4 seconds fellas... big improvement Bottom line. Whether you are new to riding or looking to be better on your bike, YCRS is truly worth every dime. Thanks YCRS! (Still smiling from the Champ laps and the R3 switch)!!! Marc G Chicago Illinois
Experiencia fantástica: New rider here (1year), went to the Street Course class last weekend, AWESOME!! I watched the Champ U courses beforehand and it was fantastic to have it all put together in person. Highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to be the best rider they can be. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient instructors. Very well organized and professional! Money well spent and will go back next year for the 2 day class. Thanks for everything you taught me!!
Experiencia fantástica: I just finished the CHAMP U: NEW RIDER online course. I am so impressed with the level of professionalism this course presents. I’m a firefighter and our department has gone to a check box “watch these videos” education system that is lack luster to say the least so I was skeptical about taking an online motorcycle riding course. I was blown away by how well the information is presented. My wife is a professional educator and she would peak over my shoulder as I took the course. She grew up in the auto racing world and commented how good the information presentation was. I’ve ridden dirt bikes for 42 years and driven emergency vehicles for 20 years. I just bought my first street bike and found the information indispensable. I feel so blessed that God Put Champ U in my path. I can’t imagine riding on the street without this information. It was nice to see a lot of the emergency driving techniques I use at work in this curriculum. Thank you Champ School. My plan is to get a PhD from Champ School.
Experiencia fantástica: I will say, I feel in better control after finishing the first few modules of the core curriculum. Even though I put off starting the classes initially, it was very enjoyable once I got started. I really appreciate that we can go back and review the courses at any time. They are very professionally presented and straightforward.
Experiencia fantástica: I just completed the online ChampU New Rider Course and the Core Curriculum Course. I highly recommend getting the bundle and doing both courses. I decided to go to ChampU based on the advice of Greg Widmar of MotoJitsu. At first, I thought it was going to be a racing school that I would have to "detune" to adapt the information to street riding, because I'm not a racer; however, when I viewed the courses I quickly realized that they were teaching one core philosophy of safe and professional motorcycle operation. The core belief system upon which they teach is that a motorcycle is a "highly engineered machine" that is designed to function best when operated in accordance with the engineers' design. The fundamental principles are the same regardless of where you are going to ride (street or track) or what you are going to ride. These online courses are great learning resources that you can review as many times as you like, and they provide very useful drills that you can use every time you ride. Go for it. It will save your life some day.
Experiencia fantástica: Wow. This improves my safety and skills. I hope to attend a few track days and will have more confidence that I won't look like a fool.
Experiencia fantástica: Fabulous course. Even though I had several years of riding experience I have learnt so many important riding habits.
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent on-line school and WELL worth your time and money. I've been riding motorcycles for 50 years but learned a lot from this course. Can't wait til spring to get on my new Wing and start practicing! Highly recommend. Thank you.
Experiencia fantástica: I was always taught how to ride, but never technically. I have learned so much in a very short or of time, I’m glad I can always come back to the CORE!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely the best money anyone can spend, to learn bike control… The short/direct well made videos, cuts straight to the fundamentals of every aspect of riding…. I’ve been riding for 45 years and just started vintage road racing 2 years ago…. The pic is from Roebling Road GA. Feb 18. With AHRMA… that’s my buddy Mitch(7s) and me in practice…. Since I’m complementing the school, I might as well add we each got a 78 Yamaha sr500…. Great vintage bikes!
We're so glad you're seeing the joy that this sport brings!
Experiencia fantástica: I HIGHLY recommend this course to EVERYONE who rides; whether a newbie or veteran rider! It's informative, well-organized, uses excellent video demonstrations, and the instructors use easy to understand terminology which offers excellent clarity of the lessons being taught. I LOVE fact that I was able to pause and repeat individual lessons (and take notes), which allowed me to visualize the specific techniques being taught. I now have a better understanding as to WHY my motorcycle performs in certain ways within various environments. But most importantly, I now know HOW to CORRECT certain "habits" which have prevented me from being the most efficient and safest rider I can be. I'm SO EXCITED to not only go out and PRACTICE what I've learned, but also to attend my up-coming 1-Day Champ Street Riding Course! Thank you YCRS for your EXCELLENT course!! This course is worth EVERY minute required to complete it!!
Understanding the "why" and becoming that adjustable rider... Precisely the goals of this course! You passed with flying colors!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent online course. I learned a lot of key principles and practices that will surely make me a better, faster, and safer rider, while increasing the fun and enjoyment I get out of riding. Highly recommended! Thanks ChampU!
Experiencia fantástica: I have taken both Champ U online Courses - New Rider and Core Curriculum. I am not a 'new rider,' according to the 42+ years I've been on Motorcycles, but I am astounded and humbled by how much I truly did not know. All of those myths about 'not touching the front brake,' 'just lean the bike more to get through that corner,' and on and on and on - absolutely busted! It's a near miracle that I've made it to 50 yrs old without having had any serious issues! If you are a new rider - TAKE THESE COURSES!! Take them before you develop habits that go contrary to how your motorcycle is designed to be ridden. Instead of listening to your buddies/family members, take the advice of the pros, who know what they're doing, so that you can mitigate the risks of this inherently dangerous sport. if you are a seasoned rider - TAKE THESE COURSES!! I promise you, there is tons to learn, and if you check your ego at the door, you will be amazed at how much sense this stuff makes, and when you take it to the pavement, and implement these concepts, you will see your riding elevated to a new level, and then some.
Experiencia fantástica: Great content presented in a logical manner. I enjoyed the humor thrown in - especially the quizzes! I am looking forward to attending an in person session this spring.
Experiencia fantástica: This is a wonderful course design. The examples and demonstrations and the drills will make you a better and safer rider. Thank you to all who helped create this course.
Thank you for the feedback; we're thrilled you loved the course!
Experiencia fantástica: I’m a certified lead instructor/coach for MSF , been doing it full time for 31years. And I actually learned some techniques that will help me be a better rider and coach. Thanks Sonny(MSF#20437)
Experiencia fantástica: A very comprehensive and nicely presented course. One of the best investment a rider can purchase and be able to learn from the champions on how to be more safe on the street. I proudly recommended Champ U to my friends.
Thank you so much for the review!
Experiencia fantástica: If your looking for ways to become a better, safer rider this is one of the best instructional resources I've found. Do yourself and your family a favor and invest in your riding skills.
Awesome!
Experiencia fantástica: Took the ChampU course online. Pretty instant improvement in my riding and a huge boost in confidence after running the drills on the course. Now I really want to go do the 2 day course on track...
We'd love to have you!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent course. Helped me a lot as a new rider. I like your slogan: LEARN FROM EXPERTS NOT PERSONALITIES
Fantastic!
Experiencia fantástica: The material was really easy to digest and they explain and give examples of everything they teach. I LOVED this program and encourage all riders to take it.
Appreciate the kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding course that will improve your street riding and make you a safer rider. This course addresses deficiencies in learn to ride courses that contribute to crashes at intersections and running wide in curves. If you’re paying for advanced training, make sure the instructors compete or have previously competed! It’s proof that they possess the actual skills that they’re teaching.
