RiderSkills Confident Rider Course

[freerider]

I just completed the Confident rider course through RiderSkills, totally recommend it for every person on two wheels!! Philip was awesome, I was a bit nervous and worried but Philip made me feel at ease. I am proof that you can teach old dogs new tricks! I will be putting everything I learned into practice everytime I ride so it becomes second nature. The course was one on one and taylored for me. Keep up the great work Philip!

Yep, Philip is the absolute best. When I was doing my first IAM assessment with him, he gave me an absolute riding masterclass. I was following him through the twisties out West Auckland way listening to his running commentary through a headset. His situational awareness skills when riding at pace were out of this world.

Gives the rest of us something to aspire to :2thumbsup

Oh, and congrats on raising your skills. Too many riders whinge about cage drivers whilst conveniently avoiding doing anything to raise their own roadcraft skills :yes:

+1 to this.

I did a course with Philip a while ago and it blew me away how much information he was able to observe and process in his commentary as he rode along.

Afterwards I felt like I'd been riding around with my eyes closed – have been trying ever since to narrate my own rides to the same high level as per his example, although that may be more of an aspirational than a realistic goal for my tiny brain...however I'm definitely much better at it than I used to be.

He was very patient with me also.

I have a big problem with Phillip from Riderskills.

Everywhere I ride now I hear a heavily accented voice reading out the hazards.........:killingme

But really, its a bloody good course. I will be doing one again.

In saying that Ive done courses with Ridertraing and they were great also. Did my BHS with them.

I think in Auckland we are blessed with some very good trainers. :yes:

Took me 8 months of stress to pass my IAM full membership test but the feeling of accomplishment was almost indescribable. Now it's time to put something back into others. I thought I was an ok rider before hand but I now know the truth.
