"Outstanding class, instructors knew the material but also provided me insightful tips that really made a difference in real time. I appreciated the feedback and truthfully it was not an easy class to complete and requires stamina. Elvie and Erin were so supportive and so was Tony, highly valued their comments and feedback. Relax elbows, ride smoothly and don’t get overly confident. I would recommend all three levels of riding before getting out on the road..."

"I am a motorcycle rider of 38 years. My son is a newer rider and I took the Basic Training course with him so he could get his license. The instructors are on point and thorough. They went through all the basic skills needed to get started. I really appreciate the training because it never hurts brushing up skills either. I will be returning to this program for more advanced training for myself. Our instructors were Isaac, Jacob and Craig over the two days..."

"I rode a motorcycle a long time ago. I stopped riding in 1992 and about 7 years ago I let my license go . I found it to be very informative. The instructor was wonderful. I'm going to take their advanced class."

"Although I’ve been riding for many years, this motorcycle safety course opened my eyes to so many important skills and situations I hadn’t experienced before. The instructors-, Isaac, Zach and the legendary Tony (BOOP)-were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student become a safer rider. I highly recommend this course to anyone, no matter their experience level, and I’m already planning to take the intermediate class as well."

"I had a great experience taking the course over the weekend. It was my first time riding and Evie was so calm and confident I knew I could trust her coaching. The course itself sets you up well as a good rider and will probably take the intermediate and advanced courses in the future."

"Hey hey! The training was AMAZING! I really liked how the guys teach, how they explain everything in detail, and create a friendly atmosphere! They genuinely do everything to help the student develop skills at the level of muscle memory. I never thought it was possible to gain such a wealth of knowledge and experience in just two days. It was amazing! Even though my English isn’t perfect and I don’t understand everything yet, you can easily ask again, and they will explain everything you need..."

"Great training, great set up, the instructors were really professional and knowledgeable always ready to help with any questions, the motorcycles for the training where nice and easy to ride, trouble free, I already recommended 2 people that are interested in taking the class"
