"Great way to learn how to ride. The course left me with much more confidence being on a bike then coming in. Learned about how to ride and the risk that come with it. Would gladly come again to take the more advanced classes."

"Both instructors, Christine and Earl, were great. They were in sync throughout the day. They were very knowledgeable and knew how to effectively deliver constructive feedback."

"Evie, Dillon and another female (I don’t remember her name) were excellent instructors. Evie was professional and treated everyone with respect. When we made a mistake she focused on the positive and what we did correctly and provided instructions on what to do differently next time. The class went by fast. We learned a lot and it was great value for the price. I plan to take the intermediate class after I purchase my motorcycle."

"Such a great experience. Wyatt is a great instructor and totally demystified the basics of riding a motorcycle. Great beginner bikes to learn on and the space is just what you need to start/build a little confidence. Will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to ride. The course gave me that itch to want to keep evolving my skills."

"If you’ve ever wanted to ride a motorcycle, I highly recommend these phenomenal instructors! They’re so easy to work with and so kind. Stephanie at helping me out with scheduling, Chris was awesome with getting me the info I needed quickly, and Zack the instructor was so patient. I went from being terrified to ride, to zipping around and having a blast. My cheeks hurt from smiling"

"My instructors Steve and Erin for the first day were amazing. They were great at getting me acquainted with the bike, feeling comfortable, and boosting my confidence. They were exactly what I needed for my first day riding. My instructors Dylan and Crusoe for the 2nd day were equally amazing. They took everything we learned from the first day and expanded on it. They were extremely knowledgeable and could exactly pin point my errors so I could work on them in real time..."
