Mind Riding the Expert rider course

What more would you need to understand to become an Expert rider and have complete mastery over the skills involved?

Mind Riding has captured the essence of what it means to be an Expert rider. It’s all about the way the Expert rider thinks. Expert riders know how to maintain 100% concentration in all types of riding, enjoying themselves and riding safely.

Revealed for the first time:
- What really causes danger on the road
- How to control the danger
- How to make life-saving decisions
- How to enjoy riding and do it safely at the same time

The Mind Riding course will allow you to think in the same way. Imagine someone had lifted the required understanding from the minds of Expert riders and transplanted it to you! Far fetched? But, that’s what Mind Riding does through a course of study and about 10 hours of on-road assessment and training.

Mind Riding is currently offering Free* Assessment rides! (All we ask is that you make a £15 donation towards the instructor's fuel expense.) The assessment itself is free and you will not be under any obligation to enrol in the course.

Riding is dangerous, or so we keep being told. But, you don’t have to accept that!

The figures show bikers are 40 times more likely to be killed on the road than car drivers. But, in truth, you can decide:

The dangers of two wheels, the power of big bikes, the vulnerable riding position and even the threats to you from careless other road users, all of these risks depend on how you ride.

Society as a whole has little concern for road casualties. Road safety is far down the list of priorities, so the best strategy for your safety is in your hands – by increasing your riding skill. There is a huge safety opportunity to be seized by gaining skill.

Perhaps you’ve moved or are moving from being an Average rider with a level of skill that more or less happened by itself to an Advanced rider where you are consciously taking your skills to a higher level. Take the quiz to discover where you are at.

There is a steep rise in skill level from Advanced to Expert as you have made the decision to improve.

The right choice of course in post-test or advanced motorcycle training is important to you.

Mind Riding has developed out of recognition that riders desperately want to become safer and more proficient in their riding, yet these desires are not being fully met through typical existing post-test training programmes.

Many choose the IAM or RoSPA local group route to further training. However, for various reasons, this is not every aspiring Expert rider’s preferred route. Training days spent with serving or retired police officers can be fun, but leave only limited time for actual training content. And, while many may be superb riders, not all are trained instructors. Just because they can ride well, doesn’t mean they know how to pass it on!

Limitations of “Roadcraft” outside the police training environment

Most so-called “advanced” training is carried out with reference to the police “Roadcraft” method of riding – The System of Motorcycle Control. Without doubt, the British police system is the best in the world and in the police environment produces superb riders.

However, Roadcraft was originally only intended as a set of training notes to accompany training by the instructor. The instructor would be present with trainees, not for a day or a few hours, but for weeks. There is therefore much more going on than just the teaching of The System.

There are previously unquantifiable elements of what it means to be an “Expert” rider, that rarely get passed on in most post-test training: the inside tips and techniques that are elaborated on in discussions over coffee and lunch; the learning that comes over time in chats between fellow trainees; and, the benefit of continuous critical, yet constructive, coaching from more experienced colleagues.

Often forgotten also, is that police riders don’t just train to ride for when they are responding to emergencies: It is not all about speed, or “making progress” as it is euphemistically called; most riding is just routine patrol work.

Mind Riding fills the gap. Because you have not got weeks to spend honing your riding skills in a training environment, Mind Riding has captured the essence of what it means to be an Expert rider.
