Motorcycle Academy

HOW TO DRIVE A GO-KART CORRECTLY? WHEN TO BRAKE AND WHEN IT IS THE BEST TO ACCELERATE? WHAT IS THE APEX AND HOW TO DISCOVER IDEAL RACING LINES?
We will solve these and other questions together in our DRIVE ACADEMY.

The Academy is designed for INDIVIDUALS that wish to take one-to-one (private) sessions.

The Academy is intended for children, adolescents and adults:

• children (aged 5 to 18) - if they can ride a bicycle independently
  
• adults (from 18 years)

There are two types of courses - START and NEXT.

In the START Academy, beginners will learn the basic rules of driving on a race track and learn individual riding skills, which our experienced and professional instructors will gladly help them to improve.
The more skilled ones will expand their experience in the NEXT Academy, during which they will constantly improve their driving technique and achieve more balanced performance.

During the courses, children will become familiar with the Yamaha PW motorcycle, while adult training takes place on PITBIKE and OHVALE motorcycles.
Each participant will be provided with a safety helmet and either a riding suit or protective gear free of charge (depending on the participant’s size).

Sturdy footwear is mandatory for all participants. Clothing that covers the entire body is recommended.

The course is intended for beginners with minimal experience and skills.

• The course is always conducted individually and under the supervision of our experienced and professional instructors, who assess each participant’s level directly during the training and tailor the course to their needs in order to expand their skills and move them to the next level of experience.
• Total duration of the academy: 2 hours – 1 hour theoretical part / 4 × 10-minute rides with an instructor + theoretical instruction during the breaks between rides.
• Course dates: by mutual agreement.

START consists of a theoretical and a practical part conducted on the Slovak Karting Center race track.

After meeting with the instructor, the participant completes the theoretical part (1 hour), during which they become familiar with:

• the basic rules of riding on a racing track

• the basic elements of motorcycle control (clutch operation and gear shifting)

• the correct riding position on a motorcycle

• the ideal racing line

• how to ride through different types of corners

• when and how to correctly use the brake and throttle

The practical part includes:

• warm-up exercises before the rides

• first 10-minute ride – the participant rides with the instructor to gain experience with the ideal racing line, cornering technique, and to learn how to control the motorcycle while braking and at higher speeds

• second and third 10-minute rides – the participant rides in front of the instructor, who monitors and evaluates their riding technique

• fourth 10-minute ride – the participant practices and reinforces all the skills learned

• Between the rides, the instructor provides feedback, helps the participant develop proper riding habits, and corrects any riding mistakes.

Only graduate riders of the Motorcycle Academy "START" are able to sign up for the Motorcycle Academy "NEXT."

• The course is always conducted individually. Based on each participant’s level, our instructors tailor the training with the aim of improving their riding technique.
• Total duration of the academy: 1 hour – 3 × 10-minute rides with an instructor + theoretical instruction during the breaks between rides.
• Course dates: by mutual agreement.

Each participant will be provided free of charge with a safety helmet and either a riding suit or protective gear (depending on the participant’s size).

Sturdy footwear is mandatory. Clothing that covers the entire body is recommended.

NEXT consists of a practical part conducted on the Slovak Karting Center race track and a theoretical part, which takes place during breaks between rides.

The practical part includes:

• Warm-up exercises before the rides

• First 10-minute ride – the participant rides behind the instructor, focusing on refining the ideal racing line, mastering cornering and combinations of corners, understanding braking points, and trying both defensive and offensive lines

• Second 10-minute ride – the instructor rides behind the participant, monitoring and correcting riding technique

• Between rides, the instructor provides feedback and helps the participant correct any riding mistakes

• Third 10-minute ride – the participant applies their acquired skills and further refines them

Graduates of the NEXT Academy gain the skills needed for independent riding on the racing circuit.
For those interested in further improving their riding skills, the course can be repeated.
