    I was never a range aid, I just shadowed Degs for a day (but then again, I'm not sure if Joe just kinda overlooked some of the pre-requisites or what.)


    Figure out who you would like to work, then contact them. They'll set you up with everything you need before the workshop.

    Not a big deal, Seems like a fair request. Looking to set myself up for staying involved with the motorcycle community over the long run, and giving a little back at the same time.

    Thanks for all the good posts guys!

    I do actually get paid more per hour coaching than my full time job of 10 years at an insurance company. Take that for what its worth

    So you don't make good money at work? (Jk'n bud!)

    Definitely good to know, and any amount of $$$ would help me at anytime, ESPECIALLY during the race season, but not my main reason for doing any of this.

    Is Winter over YET?!

    Yeah, the extra few hundred bucks a weekend doesn't hurt, but they make you earn it!

    yup. especially the 90° + days. 8 hours in a parking lot in jeans/boots/longsleeves sucks!

    I taught in 2 states for a few years (MA & NH), and it's a huge commitment because you'll have to go to 2 annual updates and teach the minimum # of courses in both states. It ends up being a lot of weekends.

    But it is a blast being a RiderCoach.

    Best decision I ever made to become a coach. I was actually a range-aid for a whole summer prior to going into the program. Really helped me out as I knew range set up and coach locations prior to the workshop.
    That is how I did it. I was a range aide for 2 years before I was old enough to become an instructor.

    Re: RidersCoach Program

    I helped select Coach candidates several years ago and one of the primary things we looked for were a person who demonstrated the ability to communicate clearly in front of a class full of people. We also looked for maturity, intelligence, and the ability to ride very well at 20 mph.
    Oh, and you have have a boatload of patience and be good with people.

    The same criteria listed above applies to becoming a trackday instructor, except you should substitute "20 mph" with "120 mph".

    Re: RidersCoach Program

    I'm in the process of filling out the application for the Rider Coach program. It's good to know that the taking the basic rider course requirement within a year isn't set in stone. I did it two years ago and have close to 30,000 riding miles since then.

    You could always "refresh" with the ARC.

    Hey, that's solid advice! Jeff Wood told me the same shit, and if he's saying it, it's gotta work.

    Good luck Eric. This sounds fun as hell.

    Those days are not quite as bad as when it is cold and raining...there is no such thing as staying dry for 8-10 hours in the parking lot.
