I had an 8th grade and High School history teacher that was a pain in my ass, he was opinionated, arrogant and just an overall annoying individual, but he did teach me one thing. That one thing was that every single person on earth can teach you at least one new thing and for that very reason you should always look for what you can learn.
That open approach to learning has helped me through life by teaching me that regardless of how much I do know, there are a lot of things I don't. It also makes me eager to see how others approach things that I want to get better at, especially if they are better than I am.
Over the past few years I have been wanting to attend and take a Lee Parks Advanced Riding Clinic, first because of the book pictured above and second because everyone that I know who has taken they course absolutely raved about it.
The course is simple in all actuality it simply follows the book, but regardless of what your skill level nothing really hits home like actually being guided through the approach. Lee looks at things from a multifaceted standpoint, the clinic forces a rider to experience things by first reading them, then having them explained, through visualization and finally by actually doing.
The biggest difference between this course and others that I have taken really comes down to the fact that the Clinic not only helps you to be better, but teaches you how to constantly improve by knowing how to analyze and correct your own behavior.
I encourage any rider with a few years under their belt to take this clinic, as the lessons it teaches are invaluable.
