"Great experience overall. The instructor Wyatt deserves a raise! His passion for riding & teaching isn't too common, and to have his guidance and expertise made me feel much more confident. Hats off the Wyatt & the team."

"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."

"All three instructors I had really knocked it out of the park. The training hours felt like time and money very well-spent. I gained concrete skills on the bike and got really good feedback on my technique as I learned. Instructors were direct yet patient and did well managing a variety of skill levels. There were two instructors each day and they did great managing a fairly large group. It never felt like too many people or like I didn't have the chance to ask questions..."

"Very good overall! I like how the instructors took time to single out riders that needed help in specific areas during a practice. Only thing I would want more of is space between the riders, a larger practice area (but wit increased scale the instructors would have to yell louder which i dont want them to strain their voices, or use a mega phone or loudspeaker."
