Background: Aaron Stevenson*, Cornerspeed Director and Chief Instructor
Aaron is a life long motorcyclist who started riding at the age of 7. He has held an expert racing license since 1992. He has raced Vintage (Open-Superbike class) as well as Modern Supersport, Superstock, Superbike and Endurance. To his credit, he has one national championship and finished second-over-all several times in the WERA National Vintage classes. Known mostly for racing vintage superbikes, many fellow racers on modern bikes, when practicing or competing against Aaron on his Vintage superbike, found out first hand that "It's not what you ride but how you ride it".

As an instructor, Aaron is able to take complex theory and break it down into easy to understand information that students can apply to their own riding. His classroom teaching style is relaxed and fun but he's very serious about the knowledge students gain and how they apply it.

Aaron has worked as an AMA Pro Racing official (Superbike) and as a licensed FIM official (Sporting Steward and Clerk of Course). For 2005 and 2006, he was appointed as the National Steward (FMNR) for the U.S. round of the F.I.M. MotoGP World Championship held at Laguna Seca Raceway.

Sarah's Background: I started out on 2 wheels at the age of 18 after a year long battle with cancer. A friendship of 14 years with the #1 sidecar passenger champion of 2005 brought my husband and me in to this sport. I love being involved in a sport that brings together my love of motorcycles and the exotic nature of three-wheeled racing. Iʼm ecstatic that after my second season I will be a part of Scorpion Sports Team!

Mike's Background: I started riding at 16 and began road racing motorcycles at 24. I've had a fascination with Formula 1 Sidecars since the first time I saw them race at Laugna Seca back in the mid 90's. Sarah and I were offered the chance to come learn how to passenger at a Sidecar Test and Tune day out at Reno/Fernley Raceway, and that's when I learned my true purpose in life is to crawl all over the back of a vehicle traveling around a racecourse at 150 miles per hour.
Let me break down what being a Formula 1 Sidecar passenger is like;
Imagine you've got the task of wrestling a porkchop away from a very violent 300 pound NFL linebacker, but the whole time you're both standing in a Tilt-A-Whirl car at the Carnival. And the carnie has cranked the dial way past 11 on the control panel.
You're about half way there.

Background: Been stunt riding for 5 years and riding is my life. It's funny, but the people in this sport are some of the greatest people I have ever met. Even though you always hear about the huge egos, most will give you the shirt off their back or their couch to crash on! My goal is to make stunting mainstream and take it away from it's original roots of being a bunch of hooligans out terrorizing the general public. In my opinion, for this sport to go as far as it can, it needs to be off the streets!
