Keith Code and the California Superbike School to Coach Road Racing Phenomenon Elena Myers At 8 she rode her first ever 50cc minibike. At 10 she was taking checkered flags racing pocket bikes, flat track and supermotard. And in 2004 at a seasoned 11 years old Elena Myers from Northern California, blasted stereotypes and the rest of the competition to take 3 championship titles aboard her RM 85, one endurance race win and become the youngest female road racer in American history to ever win an 80cc Expert title! This year the young racing phenomenon will receive expert tutelage from world-renowned motorcycle coach Keith Code and his California Superbike School. “So far I have learned a ton,” said Elena after her first communications with Code. “He has taught me a lot of strategies and concepts that I never really thought about before and he’s got me to think about what I really am doing on and off the bike. It’s helped my understanding tremendously. I never had a true understanding of what I was doing with the throttle and how it affects where the bike goes and how the bike behaves.” Elena will work through the entire Twist of the Wrist II book, authored by Code and will then attend several of the California Superbike Schools, including the specialized CODE R.A.C.E school. There she will follow the same curriculum as the rest of the students and work through the carefully designed step-by-step coaching program. “I think it will be a great experience!” said Elena about participating in the Superbike School courses. “Keith has taught me so much over these past few weeks via email and him being there will help even more. It’s going to be three consecutive schools so I know I’m going to learn a ton!” “When John Ulrich asked me if I wanted to train Elena I immediately said yes,” said Keith Code. “John is one of this country’s best talent scouts, I trust his judgment so it was an easy decision to make. Working with Elena over e-mail has been just as rewarding as sitting down with her, I’m not talking with a 13 year old young lady, I’m talking with a rider who has enthusiasm and is smart. Right now we are working out a base line of communication between us and looking at the technical skills she’ll need to win,” explains Code. For 2007 Elena will race a Kawasaki Ninja 650 for Kawasaki Team Green and an RS125 for RoadRacing World.com Kids: Don’t Smoke! Racing Team in the WERA West, USGPRU and AMA series. “I also want to thank John Ulrich from Roadracing World and all my current sponsors.” Said Elena. “John has been the main person to really help get my program going. I can’t really say enough about what he’s done for me. I’m really lucky that’s for sure! My long term goals are to someday be MotoGP World Champion!” It seems that she is well on her way!
