Our philosophy at Freddie Spencer's High Performance Riding School is really quite simple: It's to teach the student a process he or she can use to become a better motorcycle rider.
— We teach techniques individually.
— We teach students to apply those techniques to individual track segments.
— Then we teach you how to learn the track.
— You take what you learn and apply it wherever you ride, either on the track or on the street.

In practice, it's really a matter of breaking down the process of riding a motorcycle into finite element that the student can more easily understand. Then those elements are reconstructed during riding to allow a smoother, more controlled ride. This results in a higher level of confidence for every type of riding and every kind of rider. With our techniques, the rider is able to continue to apply the learning process long after he or she has taken the school. On every ride, the student will find ways to use at least one thing they have learned which will make their ride safer and more rewarding.

"I credit most of my success on the racetrack to a process of learning how to become a better motorcycle rider," comments Chief Instructor Freddie Spencer. "Better than my competition, and better each week then I was a week before. Clearly technique was important, as was experience and talent, but a lot of riders have talent.

"A lot of riders have a ton of experience and many riders develop excellent techniques. But I had a way to gain an advantage, and that is how I was able to improve constantly from race to race and from week to week.

"I had a system for learning new techniques, new tracks and new machines. This more than anything propelled my success. And that's what Freddie Spencer's High Performance Riding School is all about. It's more than just logging lap time. It's a system of learning. It's about every student leaving a better rider based on what they have learned.

"Each school is dedicated to teaching my process. It works for the beginner and the seasoned veteran. It's for the racer and the casual street rider -- who may need it more. This disciplined approach will help remove many of the variables from riding, giving you more control mentally as well as physically.

"Finally, the structure of the course reflects the emphasis on learning the process. There is a lot of time devoted to one-on-one discussion and group discussions. We spend time in Q & A sessions talking as a group about what we did on the track. We will discuss the how of riding and racing a motorcycle, but we will spend just as much time on the why. Why should you strive to be a smooth rider, for example? Why is that important in real world terms? At this school, you're going to find out, and you will learn how to become much more aware of what's going on when you ride as a result."
