Default New book on the market.

Riding in the ZONE: Advanced Techniques for Skillful Motorcycling
by Ken Condon.

http://www.ridinginthezone.com/

Just picked up my copy yesterday & even had it signed by the author himself

Hopefully this doesn't kill all of my credibility in this book review, but Ken quickly became one of my mentors up at the track back when I started doing track days about 5 years ago. I now instruct along side him and enjoy every minute of it.

I haven't read through the entire book yet, but through flipping through it and watching the DVD, this REALLY seems to strike a nice balance between the MSF publishings and books by Keith Code, etc... if you look at what's out there now, they seem to be either super basic or very analytical. I, myself, haven't even been able to get through either TOTW books even though I have them. Just too dry. But this book seems to fall nicely between the two extremes and with the DVD, it really helps those that are visual learners.

I'm the type of person that if I think somethin sucks, I say it sucks.... but this book plus DVD for $30, I say it's worth the money, but check out the website & decide for yourself.
