"I had an amazing experience. I had very little to no experience with riding and so I felt a little anxious about how quick I would learn everything and be ready for the evaluation. Halfway through the 1st day I had already began to feel more comfortable and confident with the bike I was riding. Day 1 and 2 had different instructors but they were all great and I learned a lot. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to get their M1 to do this course!"

"Absolutely fantastic training for the newbie!! I was riding a motorcycle by the end of the day- it was fabulous! The teachers, both in the classroom and on the range, are all very experienced (10+years) riders. They stayed calm even when I didn't. The classroom instruction is thorough but not excessive; I would have loved a few more hours on the range since I was SO new. I will definitely be taking more classes with them!"

"Had an excellent experience in my classes. The instructors were knowledgeable and very helpful. It was obvious to me that that the people working here really care about riding and about the safety of their students. 11/10 experience highly recommend."

"The instructors on site are great. They are very thorough with the program and give you pointers individually. I am an absolute beginner and.within a few days of finishing the program, I am riding confidently."

"Instructors were fantastic, and you could really tell they put their heart into everything. The equipment they provided was also clean and the bikes on selection were a large variety allowing the rider to tailor what kind of bike they might want to ride when it’s all said and done. Highly recommended this spot!"

"The instructors, Wyatt and Steve were great! Before this class, I had not even sat on a motorcycle for more than 10 seconds (maybe). Their approach to teaching and coaching was very warm and welcoming and was exactly what a beginner needs to understand the basics, risks, safety, and what happens or doesn’t happen when performing riding techniques. I have already recommended this class to friends and family and hope they also get the top tier teachings I experienced."
