jkv45 (since you said you think the program failed me) and anyone else that has read/responded to this thread.
should I say something to whoever is in charge of the Motorcycle Ohio program?
I just keep thinking about how yesterday went.
1. How I was forced to take a bike that was uncomfortable to me because of my height when I had made my concerns known ahead of time due to reading what people have taken the MSF have said about different low bikes available or having a bike lowered for them and other coaches in the program stated they would have let me ride on tippy toes/one foot down if I was comfortable that way.
2. I had thought I remembered reading that in the MSF the coach will show you the diagram of what you are doing then show you on a bike before having the class do it. It was confirmed by a rider on Reddit that just passed his MSF today. His class had 8 people to 1 instructor because the other didn't show, but they still took the time to get everyone on the same page. This class all we got was a look at the diagram and a description of what we were going to do (this was done not for each exercise but multiple at a time). I kept getting lost because I needed more time to get things right. Seeing each exercise done on a bike first would have helped me to remember what to do.
3. barely any feedback when it came to exercises where we went around the range. I was basically having to ask the questions to try and figure out how I was doing when stopping at one of the coaches because the only feedback I would get otherwise was to stop flinstoning my feet when coming to a stop cuz I could break my ankles. The younger one would ask if I was ok or how i was feeling, but I'm talking constructive feedback.
4. being rushed because everyone else was picking it up immediately.
I just can't help but feel it could have been done better, but at the same time I know I was the only slow one in the group, so I'm not sure, you know?
