"Just finished my Course today, Friday 07/12! Zack and Olivia are the best! Amazing teachers, amazing instructors. Never been on a motorcycle ever (though I have been on a bicycle) but I felt confident and comfortable on the field. Had to drive all the way to Woodland from Sac, but 25/10 recommend this spot!"
