Most groups require atleast one novice day for a reason, skip novice and I'm not going into a corner beside you on your first day period. 3 group progression for a reason use them. Novice teaches you more than just lines it teaches the very very important stuff you do not learn by being fast on the street. It teaches safety, hand signals, what NOT to do and how to properly crash! Yes, there is a right and wrong way to crash. And I want to be damn sure the guy behind me who thinks he's Casey Stoner knows what I fucking mean when I raise my throttle hand in the air. Don't skip Novice that's the worst advice ever.
