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.
To teach riders in this unique way is a concept which is portable and can be moulded to suit different environments worldwide.

Important notes ...

Please tell us how long you have been riding for and to what standard you consider yourself to be, ie: beginner, intermediate or very experienced.
Please tell us what bike you have.
You will be expected to arrive on your own bike. We will assume that you are fully legal to ride on the road and that your bike is well maintained and up to standard.
You will be expected to arrive in the appropriate riding gear, ie; leathers or suitable protective clothing, boots, gloves, helmet (open or full face).
Not every bike will be capable of “stoppies” in any form. If this is the case then we have bikes on hand for you to ride and experience extreme braking techniques.
We will have water and refreshments as well as basic sandwiches, etc. All can be purchased at a very reasonable subsidised cost.

At the end of your day ...

We guarantee that you will learn new techniques, increase your confidence and will have a greater understanding of bike control. You will also receive a “Craig Jones” DVD, a Dunlop cap and other goodies.
