Yes, it was Misti, and yes, it's TID bit. I'm just way too tired after the trip and I desperately needed sleep.

I talked to Misti for a bit and yeah, she loves the mountains for Vancouver and travels with the team going everywhere.

1) You THINK you're fast, well, to be honest, you're not. In Vancouver, you can ride and you can catch up to your friends cause you can still see the tail lights of your group. At the bike school, these guys are just epic fast; simply are humbled cause these guys are legendary...
2) The owner's brother came up and said to us "how do you like your instructor? He's a superstar"
"wtf do you mean by superstar"
"he's ranked Number 3 in USA"
Faster than anyone in the Super bike school.
3) The track in Vegas is very small, and one of the harder course (told by the instructors).
Here are a few observations.

a) Meet at 7 AM, sign up, grab breakfast; INTRO to the team and you start learning at 7:30. NO BULLSHIT. None of the AA meetings BS; "Hi my name is ____, I have 10 yrs of riding experience, I own 2 bikes" type crap.

Literally, you SIT down and you start class at 7:30 learning theory.
b) NO boring videos. Nothing like Motorcycle class in BC where you sit thru shitty ass 80s video. 20 minute whiteboarding, and you're done. JUST when you are able to fall asleep, you get your ass into gear and you ride.

c) Food, snacks, water, everything is there. They encourage you to eat & drink a lot. I literally drank a bottle of water before the ride, and drink another bottle when you finish the ride. You sweat like moto; it was Nov, it was 103 degrees (39C)

d) People are SUPER friendly. I have never seen someone with a bad attitude, everyone had a smile on the face, from registration, mechanics, to the kitchen ladies.

e) Professional is the game. They generally care for you to get better. I'll post pics later; I think it's a very well runned machine and you know they are no BS. I can honestly say I'll never ever think I'm "fast" ever again. Seeing someone doing a lap at ~1:25 and you're doing it at 2:55.... yeah, i'm just slow.

I met a lawyer there, who has been there 30-40 times. YES, 40 times, level 4. Imagine you go there 4 times a year, that's literally 10 yrs of riding.

Anyhoo, will post pics later. Truly a humbled experience, you get what you pay for, no BS, go learn, 20 min class, 20 min riding (MORE THAN enough) and repeat for 7 sessions.

OH, 7 am - 4:30 PM. EVERYONE went to bed at 9 PM and slept like a baby. A lot of people had red eyes simply cause your eyes are just so tired after a long day of riding.
