"I took the January 24 course with Craig and Evie as the instructors. Great coaching, great drills, and great classroom explanations! Great meeting all the other students and learning from all the feedback. I would highly recommend the intermediate course and will be taking an advanced course in the future!!"

"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..."

"As a brand new rider with 0 experience I felt like I gained skills and knowledge for real world scenarios. The instructors were clear, patient, knowledgeable and did not hold back with the real risks of driving a motorcycle. I would strongly recommend ALL new or beginner riders to take this class. I can’t wait for my intermediate level!"
