Question about Keith Code

**placidfemme** · 23rd February 2006, 07:27

Hey

I've read a few articles in bike mag's about Keith Code and his amazing training programs... apparantly he has also released a few books...

I've looked on Trade Me and at certain book stores and can't find any of his books... and unfortunatley don't have a credit card, so can't buy one online...

Does anyone know where I could purchase some of these books?

Also, just another random question... If Keith Code is that great, how come he doesn't race himself?

Anywho

I got a copy of Twist of The Wrist II ages ago through Witcouls (sp?), they had to order it in for me but it did turn up. I'm pretty sure motomail also have them as well.

They'll usually have a copy of a twist of the wrist 1/2 at the library. Check it out... Bit cheaper than buying a copy.

He says he trained Thomas Luthi, turned him from a mid field runner to one of the top 125 racers.

You don't have to be the best at something to be the best teacher, most inspirational, the best at technical analysis, or the best communicator of technique.

Before Keith Code, NO ONE could explain what a bike was doing at corner entry, apex, or exit, and no rider could accurately communicate precisely what they were doing in a corner because it wasn't expected of them. You were fast because you were fast.

Not because you knew you had a corner entry speed advantage on 7 of 11 corners at a particular track over your rivals.
