"I had ZERO experience on a motorcycle and by the first day of behind the wheel class I was riding!! Great course! It’s a lot to take in but the instructors were very patient, friendly and knowledgeable! Dylan and Tony were awesome!! They had great chemistry and made the course fun!! Tony is super supportive and encouraging and Dylan can be hard on you but when he praises you, you know you did a good job! Love the enthusiasm of those two. Will definitely sign up for the intermediate class in the future."

"First time ever touching a motorcycle, came out of the course with a heap of knowledge and fundamentals. Always more to learn, but as a beginner course I couldn’t really ask for more. Instructors were great at their job. They were patient and did very well at spotting and correcting my mistakes, so that by the end of it I was comfortable riding the bike. Highly recommend."

"I had an absolute blast over the weekend! Great team of instructors each day that were informative and patient with all of us. Highly recommend. It was a trip watching people go from never being on one before to riding pretty darn good a few hours later. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider TAKE THE CLASSES I promise you, you’ll learn something new."
