LEARN FROM EXPERTS
NOT PERSONALITIES
There is a big difference between “forty years of riding experience” and “one year of riding experience, forty times over.”
The Champ U instructors aren’t just random people off the street or internet-famous people with cameras: we employ the best coaches in the country. National champions, lap record-holders, world-level riders – you get the idea. We hand-select our instructors to provide you with best practices, refined by experience. We’re always happy to answer questions or just talk motorcycles on our Champ U forums.
Whether you are a new street rider, experienced tourer, track day rider, club racer, or national road racer, we are laser-focused on your riding improvement. We built this course for you to become the rider you’ve always wanted to be. If you are ready to improve, ready to have more fun, ready to ride safer… you’ve come to the right place.

WHO WE ARE
We’re the Yamaha Champions Riding School.
Led by Nick Ienatsch and Chris Peris, we’ve been the premiere motorcycle training program in the United States since 2008. Our approach to instruction in this sport is simply asking “what are the best riders in the world doing to survive and thrive on two wheels?” We pass these lessons on to our students, developing safer riders, faster. Our curriculum is constantly evaluated and tweaked as the sport progresses, ensuring that our classes teach best practices and not outdated methodology.
This is our core curriculum, based on our two-day, $3,000 ChampSchool program.
New riders will find that the techniques and lessons presented here will establish a solid, logical, understandable base to carry them safely through their riding careers.
For veteran riders, our course confirms and fine-tunes skills, while introducing next steps that become more and more important as speeds rise or conditions worsen.

DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT
It takes days to complete [Champ U]. But I could take it at my pace… and man is there good stuff in there! [The lessons in Champ U] need to be going out to everyone who rides a motorcycle.
Without giving away too many spoilers, each multi-part chapter puts YCRS’s traction theory, throttle/brake control, and vision techniques on full display.
No matter if you are a nugget who just bought your first 390 Duke just getting your motorcycle legs underneath you or an old grey-beard salty-dog with 100,000 miles on your current Road King. Champ U is well worth it.
I especially recommend you to take their online course, Champ U. It features deep-dives into all the key concepts of going fast, safely.
