I really wish I had. I have been track riding for a couple of years, going to riding school too, learned some lessons the hard way too. I have recently moved to the US and was able to join YCRS. This series goes back to the foundations of much of what is taught there, but better. Better in the...Read full review »

I’m up to episode 93 and so far the coaching is excellent - absolute top notch content - but the audio quality is so terrible it’s nearly unlistenable. Seriously, is Ken using audio equipment from the 1980s or what? PLEASE upgrade your audio equipment so I can continue listening.

Ken has a HUGE amount of experience and insight, and the desire to share all of it with us. For this I’m very grateful! What I’d like to see (or hear) is a more polished delivery. I may be outing myself as being “on the spectrum” but the latest episode has so much lip smacking that it’s nearly...Read full review »

If you have always wanted access to a world class riding coach and instructor who has worked with some of the best riders in the world - you just struck gold.

This is a huge library of all the parts you need to learn to ride quickly and safely. Most of the content is directed toward track riding and racing but following the ‘degree of application’, most of it can be used for street riding as well. The curriculum is familiar if you’ve done the Yamaha...Read full review »

You just need to listen every episode 50 times and practice everything 10,000 times. You do that, riding will be the most fun thing it can do on this planet. Thanks you Ken for finally creating a universal glossary and putting it out there for everyone. Who knows his many people you've saved...Read full review »

Thanks you Ken Hill for this amazing series. Meant to write a review for some time now. Your advise is golden.

Just getting started with sport riding. Plan to do track days and then if all goes well, race. After many years of motocross I’m taking in all information I can find to become a better rider. Your podcasts have been very informative.

I heard about Ken Hills podcast a while back but assumed they were long and didn't think I had the time to commit to them....stupid move on my part! Each podcast is about 15 mins and every one of Them is super informative. I wish I would have listened to these before I spent two seasons at...Read full review »

Straight talk, no nonsense information and tips to ride better.
TrackSol via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/17
It's awesome for an elite level coach to put something together like this. So often in this sport it's hard to come by real, understandable knowledge that can be applied to improve your skill set. It's given me a lot to think about and work on with my own riding.Read full review »

So nice to finally get good advice. I've definitely gotten faster after listening. I'd like to see the episodes cut a little tighter, there's a few "ums" and "ahs" but the info is top notchRead full review »

Ken- thank you so much for doing these podcasts. It has helped me so much both on and off the bike. I agree that excellence in motorcycles has helped me in several areas of life. I appreciate you!

I've been listening to Ken Hill's coaching podcast for the past year and have totally enjoyed each and every one of it. His command over the subject and his scorecards for every topic covered makes it a lot more effective for practitioners and novices like me. I really wish I could attend...Read full review »

Just finished podcast 1 - 44. I'm a club racer and find the discussion and points to be very helpful. I've taught the racing school for my local club and will be using some of this to help our students (as well as pointing them to these podcasts). Great stuff Ken!!Read full review »

LA818 Ride via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/17
...Except Ken Hill doesn't ask you to "feel" your way to going faster or tell you to just "do or do not." That's what others do, and what makes racers crash. Ken gives you the exact explanation of how to go faster, ride safer, and understand more. And, it's FREAKING...Read full review »

I just found out about Ken Hill not too long ago, I've been riding for 3 years (track for 1 year). Before I found these AMAZING podcasts I would just try and watch MotoGP and World SBK and pick apart the techniques myself. It's good to know that that is what Ken does essentially, but he...Read full review »

The best motorcycle class I have ever taken was with Ken Hill's school, Yamaha Champions Riding School. My instructor was not Ken, but his colleague, Nick Ienatsch (and several other YCRS instructors). Whether or not you are planning to take an advanced riding class, I highly recommend that...Read full review »

Let's be honest. Ken Hill's podcasts are simply the best deal you can get on the best advice you can get on riding fast on a race track, and safely as well. He's not only the best coach in the US, he's by far the most articulate. These podcasts are worth more than it's...Read full review »
