"Amazing experience! Evie and Erin were incredibly patient and worked with me individually on skills that I struggled with and didn't make me feel bad for messing up. Joey brought the energy and encouragement and was fun to work with. There were many opportunities to practice the skills so the test at the end wasn't intimidating. I recommend this class for all noobs and for anyone who wants to learn how to ride the right way."
