"Chris is an amazing teacher and really customizes his instruction to your specific needs. I learned so much in the first class, and I will be continuing my education with them so that I can be the best rider possible. Would highly recommend to anyone at any skill set!"

"I came to the class very nervous and very worried because I'm an anxiety prone person when it comes to something that I know there's a test for afterwards. The instructors, Steve and Wyatt, were able to calm my nerves with their ability to clearly state and show through live demonstrations what was needed to be done. By the end of the course, I felt very confident that I learned enough to be able to ride a motorcycle in practice sessions without much fear of getting into an accident..."

"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."

"Great instructors who brought patience, humor and first class professionalism to the serious topics covered through this well thought out program. The bikes are adequate for the job and the location is ideal with great views and no distractions. The toilets are quite a walk and during our visit could have done with a few lightbulbs being replaced. The 6 to 1 instructor to pupil ratio is ideal in providing quality learning."

"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!!"

"George and Isaac did an awesome job! Not only did they give an amazing presentation but they made sure we had tons of fun! We learned so much in such a little time but they made sure we understood concepts such as SPAT and SIPDE. I feel really comfortable with approaching turns and safety maneuvers. The classroom instructors were awesome too! Very engaging and knowledgeable!"

"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."
