I finished the basic course last week. Grew up on dirt bikes and thought I knew everything, boy was I wrong. I would highly suggest this course for any one new, or returning to riding.
Ditto..........

I've been riding and racing MX for 35 years, I took the class with my 3 sons (18, 20 &21), at the end of the class, they handed out two 100% riding skills, my 21 & 20 years took those awards.............my 18 yo beat out his old man by one point also...........

One Proud Dad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my three sons needed larger helmets after our class..............
