An essential part of being a Megarider is to have subconsciously programmed into one's brain the essential riding skills. To do this you must make a concerted effort to apply a particular skill so that it becomes second nature. As part of their training, NZMSC instructors must carry out a series of riding skills exercises during their everyday riding to help groove those skills. That got us to thinking: why not help other riders do the same? So we have developed these Do-It-Yourself Riding Courses kits that contain a series of riding skills exercises to be carried out during everyday riding. Participants get a 40 page booklet that details the whys and wherefores of the exercises and the theory behind them. They also get a template for exercise cards, one of which they place somewhere on the bike to remind them of the exercise they are supposed to be carrying out that day. The DIY Riding Course is sent via email in a pdf file. The advantage of this DIY Course is that on each ride you concentrate on and thus groove a particular essential skill. It's not like an ordinary riding course where you get a quick introduction to the theory, a few short riding exercises, and then you're on your own. This is something you do every ride for a set period, depending upon the skill being grooved. The email version costs US$25. It would be hard to find a comprehensive riding course for a cheaper price. We have released the Level Two and Three
course kits before the Level One course kit because the Level
Two and Three courses will be applicable for all riders, rather
than just raw newbies. Level Four and Five Courses are still to come but we would advise those interested to start at Level Two as the exercises build upon each other.
