"If you’re looking for an amazing experience to start your riding career, this is the place. The instructors are patient, friendly, knowledgeable and know how to relay that knowledge. Evi was a fantastic instructor in particular. Once the class was done they offer an intermediate class at a discount (it never expires) which I didn’t hesitate to sign up for. 👍"

"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!"
