"I had James and Nathan as my instructors and they were very helpful, informative, and great teachers. They lightened the mood but were serious about safety at the same time. Great place, great people, and awesome experience all around."

"James and Nathan are awesome. They made the course so fun but professional. They always made sure we understood everything and showed us the best and safest ways. I've been around motorcycles since I was 6 years old (currently 34) and didn't think I would learn much from a 2-day class, I was totally wrong, I learned so much and will not mind taking the course again or a more advanced one."
