Crew Update – Internal Certifications (Early Test Phase)
Hey Crew,
During the crew meeting yesterday, I talked about something I’m starting to test out: internal crew certifications, beginning with Basic Control.
This is very early-stage and experimental. Nothing is official yet — we’re simply testing the idea and seeing how it lands with you all.
Basic Control – Proficiency Rules (Test Phase)
How it works
  • Each proficiency requires completing all 5 drills in order
  • Drills must be completed back-to-back as one proficiency attempt
  • You may complete it in:
Attempts
  • You get up to 3 attempts per drill
  • A run = one full attempt at the drill
  • If you fail all 3 attempts on a drill, the proficiency attempt resets
Failure conditions (any of the following fail the run)
  • Hitting or knocking over a cone
  • Missing or not following the drill design
  • Putting a foot down
  • Dropping the bike
Order matters
  • Drills must be completed in the listed order
  • Doing drills out of order fails the proficiency, even if each drill is clean
Important notes
  • Speed is not graded
  • This is about control, consistency, and clean execution
  • Take breaks as needed — rushing usually causes resets
I’ll be working on a video series soon where I actually show how a Basic Control certification would work step by step. Once that’s out, this will make a lot more sense.
For now, consider this a heads-up post and a place to gather early thoughts. If it feels fuzzy right now, that’s okay — just hang tight until the video examples are up.
Appreciate you all helping me pressure-test this before anything becomes “real.”
Good luck !
