Any way you can cover first time track days jitters and what to expect?
Things that you should bring, common mistakes, things to avoid?

Just started listening last night. I'm on episode 5

Listened to a couple podcasts after seeing Ken Hill talk in person... So cool to gain some knowledge from him which I could immediately apply and see the effect from, and then sit down and hear all his teachings digitally

Been listening to these for a couple of months now and they have been super helpful. I have been getting faster and faster, in a safe way, and I haven't gone down (yet). Thanks Ken!

Glad to see you back, enjoyed the quick podcast, and I agree on your point on moving the US amatuers up into the next level. You point out that the overarching reason is that the riders are not working hard enough, not committed enough.

So you outline the problem, but don't really get into actionable items to fix the issue. So you had to outline what actions a rider would take to work harder in order to make the jump successfully, what would be on that list? What are the difference makers?

Looking forward to hearing about the disconnect between crew chief, rider, and data guy in a future podcast

re - the state of US riders, It is a very frustrating topic and the root issue is the fundamental value of motorcycling in the US. A podcast will probably be easier, as writing it out would take way more time than I have, plus, based on some meetings I had at the last NJ Moto America race, I would love to include a few industry people in my talk.

The disconnect was fascinating. Basically, the data guys could tell you what was wrong, but didn't know how to fix it, and they had no idea on the order of the sport or how to ride. "Just open the throttle more" "Go faster here" The podcast will cover all of that and how I approached it and how it worked in real time.

Ken

Always huge thanks to Ken Hill for making this incredibly valuable information freely available.

I've been following the sport for a few years, and Ken is the one person who has come up who is able to clearly analyze, discuss, categorize and instruct a very challenging and difficult sport. My riding has vastly benefited.
