Why we coach differently
Almost every advanced riding organisation in the UK teaches the same system. We don't — and the reason is worth two minutes of your time.
The problem with the standard system
Almost all advanced riding organisations base their syllabus on IPSGA: on the approach to every hazard, the rider sequentially considers their Position, Speed, Gear and Acceleration. Each new hazard restarts the process. Think about how often you approach multiple, competing hazards at once and you'll see how complex and cumbersome that becomes.
The RAPID approach reduces that complexity dramatically. Rather than treating each hazard individually, we coach riders to intuitively trade off speed and position relative to multiple competing hazards at the same time. It's simple, effective and quick to learn — and it leaves you free to actually ride.
Machine control is not optional
Machine control skills are essential to both safety and performance — yet there is virtually no machine control content on a traditional civilian advanced course. Techniques developed at the cutting edge of racing form an integral part of every RAPID road and track course. It's why BIKEMASTER, our flagship, builds track coaching directly into the syllabus.
Professionals, not volunteers
Most advanced training in the UK is delivered by well-meaning volunteers and ends in an exam. RAPID coaching is delivered by full-time professionals — TT racers, British Superbike Championship racers, endurance racers, flat track champions and Police Class 1 qualified riders and instructors. We run a British Superbike Championship race team. That blend of knowledge feeds directly into how we coach.
No exams. No rigid syllabus. Your coach meets your riding where it is and builds every session around where you want it to be.
