The year 2007 saw Craig Jones begin to take his knowledge to the forum of teaching. What started off small is now growing both with the quantity of candidates and with the ingredients of a packed day’s training.
The Craig Jones Bikes Skills Academy aims to demonstrate and teach a wide knowledge of motorcycling right across the spectrum for riders of all levels. There is no other academy of teaching like it.
Starting with Mr Jones heading the project, followed by a high profile racing name, a police force, a mainstream professional track day company and the very best sponsors set the academy’s credentials.
To teach riders in this way is a concept which is portable and can be moulded to suit different environments worldwide.
