Ricky Carmichael and Champs Teach

At first I was a little skeptical with regard to RCU. I thought Ricky Carmichael is just going to sit and talk to a crowd of 60-80 people about riding, they will go riding, and then he will talk some more. I was so wrong. RCU is legit and RC is right there in the dirt helping riders one-on-one. And it was more than just Carmichael. He brought out a few of his friends—(HEROES). Lets see, Jeff Ward, Johnny O’Mara, Jeff Stanton, Jeff Emig, Kevin Foley, Jeannie Carmichael (RC’s Mother), and Broc Glover. Collectively the sheer talent and wealth of knowledge teaching the class was amazing. Yet the quote of the day had to be from a young 50cc rider with his hand up, “Did you learn all of this from the times you raced with James Stewart?” RC almost lost it for a split second with laughter and kindly replied, “No, but I think he might have learned a few things from me.” The Q&A had to be one of the best parts of the day and students could ask any of the instructors questions about their careers, being champions, and racing.
