Overview
Many sportbike riding programs force you into a formulaic, one-size-fits-all template.  Trophy Point will help you achieve your unique, individual goals!  

Sign up now for personal on-track coaching to learn the subtleties of advanced sportbike riding and racing!   Local pro and riding instructor, Ryan Gagliano, will work with you on the finer points of sportbike control, speed, and safety. 

Between the track sessions, you’ll have a chance to discuss the riding techniques demonstrated.  You’ll use visual aids, such as track maps to assist you and to accelerate your learning.

After the day's instruction, you'll have a chance to walk the track with your instructor, looking at reference points and other track features up close!

Learn the following in an intense learning laboratory – the race track!

• Preparation
• Balance
• Accelerating
• Braking
• Turning
• Starting
• Line selection
• Race strategy
• & More!

Is this for me?
Trophy Point on-track coaching is designed for those ranging from sportbiking newcomers to first year roadracers.  As we focus on Southern California tracks, a good rule of thumb is – if your lap times are slower than 1:26:00 at the Willow Springs Classic Course (aka “The Big Track”) – we can help!

Pricing
A full day session with Trophy Point costs $295 for individual sessions and $255 each for “bring a buddy” coaching sessions.  This is required at least 30 days in advance in order to reserve the session.  Keep in mind that dates are booked on a first-come, first-served basis and payment is required to guarantee your chosen coaching day.

How to get started

• Sign up with the appropriate organization to reserve their track time. (Trophy Point does not cover your gate fees or track fees.)
• Reserve the date with Trophy Point at least 30 days in advance to guarantee the session.
• Provide own transportation to and from the venue.

How to pay
We are going to be launching a PayPal function shortly on this site.  In the meantime, please contact us to arrange for payment by cash or personal check made out to:  Trophy Point Advisors.

What to bring

Cancellation, Inclement Weather, and Track Delay Terms and Conditions
In the event of cancellation, the student will be refunded the coaching fee, less a $100 service fee. In the event of inclement weather, Trophy Point will make every effort to reschedule the coaching session within the calendar year.  Should this not be possible, we will refund the full amount to the student.The goal is to have at least 5 on-track coaching sessions.  Please keep in mind that Trophy Point will make every effort to exceed this number, but circumstances such as track status or weather may not make this possible or practical.

Waiver
The rider is completely responsible for their actions on the race course and must sign a waiver with Trophy Point before commencing.  Trophy Point stresses that motorcycle riding is dangerous and will not be held liable for rider actions that cause harm or damage to the student, other track day participants, or to the facilities.
