Exceptional service and quality of instruction. We will highly recommend you. Thx much.

BK Lam
★★★★★

Saturday drills were excellent. Good balance of challenging but not overwhelming. Coaches were knowledgeable and very personable.

Dan Fiedler
★★★★★

Very good balance between off bike discussion, on bike practice, and breaks. It was a hot day on Saturday and I felt the pace was very good to keep everyone engaged and not too fatigued.

Darcy Schaffer
★★★★★

This was a very challenging course. I still have a lot to work on. I am still going down on my bike, off road to often. The course gave the confidence to try off roading in my motorcycle. I think it is more mental with me.

Jeremy Eirich
★★★★★

The ability to do the drills and then stop and talk about things was great. The instructors were top notch: knowledgeable and very personable.
