Loved the article. Personally, this is something that I need to work on and looking forward to you helping me with it next month!

For all of you that haven’t done a Star School yet…get signed up NOW! this will be my 2nd time going and when you go in so open minded you absorb everything like a sponge. I love the way they teach and the amount of track time you get!

A night school would be interesting – I just hope that if you set lights up near the corners, a corner worker doesn’t accidentally trip and knock the lights over!!

Love this Jason…so true. The past few years after taking a class with Lee Park’s curriculum, I quickly learned how just focusing with your eyes and turning your head (and trusting that it will “all be ok”) can get you in not only leaned into more aggressive angles, but how smooth it can help you be by getting things slowed down from a visual perspective. I gained a ton of speed by doing this, because as my focus points became more consistent and farther down the road, everything slowed down in my head so I could go a bit faster on the road. Vision is just about everything, and reference points extremely important, both on and off the track. thanks for the continued great articles!

Good to see you Jason and thanks for tips. I agree with looking up and far ahead. Even when driving your car on public streets. We take defensive driving courses due to the company vehicles and one main topic is looking up and far ahead. This helps Identify a problem way ahead and come up with solutions to avoid them.

Thank you Mr. Pridmore for sharing the vast knowledge you have on improving skills necessary to be a better rider. I can’t wait to attend your class. I liked the article posted August 22,2015. That article hit home for me as I have issues with keeping my eyes up.

I’ve been wanting to sign up to your school but you don’t do T-Hill anymore. I’d like see if I’ve picked up any bad habits.

Jason,
I love your “Eyes Up” article. Every time I receive an informative email from you I can’t wait to open it and savor the content. Thank you for all you do for us mere mortal riders.

When will you be back in the Northwest? I thoroughly enjoyed your Star School two seasons back at the Ridge in Shelton, Washington.

Jason, thanks for the riding tips! I like the new Web site and your articles. I want to take advantage of the returning student discount, but am right in the middle of buying a new home. Hopefully I can get this all squared away and then sign up for an upcoming class. I enjoyed the Ducati one that I had originally signed up for so I did the second one and learned some new things at both. Both were at Chuckwalla, so I may try a new track next time!
