BarnStormer Racing is dedicated to providing a truly personalized learning environment for anyone interested in being a safer and more competent motorcycle rider.
Each personalized coaching session is unique to you and your riding, but every day starts with you and your coach setting your intentions and focus. Perhaps it's building repeatable habits entering and exiting corners, adjustments in your body timing and positioning, getting familiar with the track environment, or focusing on learning how to conquer fears and be in better control of your motorcycle. Whatever your goals, your coach will work with you to come up with actionable steps for improvement.
Whether you are new to riding, or working to get your laptimes down at your favorite track, the BarnStormer program will enable you to develop the skills and understanding necessary to improve your riding. Since every student is unique and has individual needs and goals, each coaching session is structured around what you need, at that particular time.

With ten years of motorcycle coaching experience at tracks all over the United States, and a long resume of experience instructing in other disciplines including music, technology, and equestrian sports, she has the knowledge and tools to help each rider improve. She is very good at getting students comfortably in control of the motorcycle and getting it working properly for them, including spotting and eliminating rider tensions or bike setup problems, which can create false barriers. She particularly enjoys working with newer riders, and seeing the big jumps in rider confidence that happen when riders acquire new skills and their problems or fears are identified and handled.
