I appreciate the way the whole course has been put together. Be it classroom sessions or the on the range. I have learnt a lot from these fantastic people over two days. Thank you guys!"

"I really enjoyed my CMSP beginners course in San Bruno. The instructors give good advice, are enthusiastic, and are encouraging. I still have a ton to learn but I feel more confident that I have a good start after taking the course. Thanks Patrick, Q, and Kieran! You guys did a great job."

"Instructors: Isaac and Christorpher were incrediblely attentive to detail and immediately gave advices to proper riding. Their expertise is absolutely phenomenal. I would highly recommend anyone who is interested to immediately sign up for the course. The lecture and riding lessons gave me the opportunity to understand my weaknesses and how to fix it. Shout-out to the instructors! You guys rock!!!"

"I came in here with 0 riding skills and signed up for the basic level course. With our small group of students, the instructor Zach payed careful attention to each students skill level and making sure we all performed to the best of our ability by explaining what it expected of us. Before certain drills, he would run them down by himself so we understood how to perform, then we got a chance to practice with the bike off, then on. If some students were performing better, he gave them other pointers to look out for while riding, and if we were in need of more help, he provided examples to help us understand how to ride safer..."

"Dillon, Crusoe, and Q are instructors of the highest quality. Great knowledge and really fun teaching style. The bikes and safety gear are good enough for learning - you’ll feel more than confident by the time you take the test. Great value too."
- Owen Davies, April 2024
"Highly recommended. Can’t say enough about this crew. These are the experts. Training courses of multiple skill levels available. Riding needs to be taken seriously and riders need to be prepared for the unexpected to make every ride as safe as possible. PTM has a great team packed with knowledge and experience that can help make every ride that such safer. Classes like this should be mandatory before taking to the roads, no matter where you are..."
