"Q and Crusoe are amazing instructors. Honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Both of them teach in an easy to learn way as well."
- Aashish Kapoor, September 2023
"I had a great time and learned a lot! I went in with 0 motorcycle experience. The classroom time was packed with information and a good preparation for the next session on the range. There's almost no wasted time during the classroom time and time on the motorcycle. They really condensed everything they could. It's also pretty fun."
- Rodolphe Courtier, September 2018
"Incredible school and training. Big shoutouts to amazing instructors Wyatt, Steve, and Kevin. They are incredibly attentive, tolerant, and patient professionals. I felt so comfortable being guided through their lessons. The school also provides helmets and even shoes if needed."

"Excellent motorcycle training course! The instructors explained everything clearly, from basic riding skills to important safety rules. They were patient, detailed, and made learning easy and comfortable for beginners. I learned a lot and feel much more confident riding now. Highly recommended."

"Great place to learn how to ride. I came in with absolutely no experience and felt comfortable with all the basics of riding after the course. Instructors were very experienced and supportive. The lecture portion is online and interactive, which is great because you can go through it at whatever pace and repeat chapters as needed."
- Kate Morozova, March 2025
"It's been three years since I have ridden the motorcycle. It was really fun and enjoyed it the most. It also helped me realize the mistakes I was doing and to correct those. Thanks Isaac and Edberg for keeping it well balanced with fun and learning. Highly recommend it even if you are not a new rider."
- Suriya Shankar, July 2019
"This was the best class I have ever taken. The teachers were amazing, especially Craig. His guidance and teaching style was so approachable. So often teachers talk at you but not the case with this program. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!"
