What happened to the RSS and the old ERC?
The MSF has invested more than six years of research and testing into the Basic RiderCourse. In addition to the expected research on types of skill-building exercises to be included in the course, additional effort was put into documenting the ways adults learn and how to best incorporate that knowledge into the course. By considering adult-learning concepts, MSF was able to design the Basic RiderCourse to focus on participants so they can become partners in their own learning. Those who take the course can expect small group teams tasked with motorcycle safety discussion topics, facilitated by MSF-certified RiderCoaches in the classroom rather than being lectured. Also new to the classroom is video-simulated practice on hazard perception and avoidance. On the riding range, participants will focus on their own skill development rather than on maintaining a riding speed set by other riders on the range. There too, the RiderCoaches will be observing and coaching each participant by focus
