I took this course in June, and it was a lot of fun! Prior to this class, I had only ever powerwalked on a motorcycle, so I had basically zero motorcycle skills. By the end of the first day, I was riding around in 2nd gear, doing figure 8s, and all kinds of stuff! The coach was super friendly and gave one-on-one feedback during the more difficult exercises. At the end of the second day, there is a "skills demonstration" portion that you need to pass in order to be eligible for your motorcycle endorsement. There are no scheduled breaks during the course, but we would usually take 5-10 mins every couple of exercises to hydrate and reapply sunscreen. I will say that if you're susceptible to heat exhaustion or have a low tolerance for sun exposure: don't take this class in the summer. You're outside for 6-7 hours each day. But regardless of the season, make sure you bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Thanks, Total Rider!

Phenomenal motorcycle course for beginners. Took the BRC course & learned how to ride a motorcycle for the first time in my life. Amanda Stark is a great instructor who I would highly recommend.

Signed up for a Total Rider beginner MSF course to get my class M license, and it was honestly one of my favorite experiences. The class itself cost around $265 and had several sections. I had to complete a 3 hour online course prior to the course to get familiar with motorcycles, road safety, etc. We then had an in-person class for ~3 hours where we had to pass a knowledge test (definitely study the online material beforehand!!), and had two riding sessions on Saturday and Sunday morning. Having never ridden a motorcycle before, I was fairly nervous about taking this course. But the instructors started from the very beginning, walking us through the bike controls, steering, leaning, etc. before we ever began riding. By the end of our second day my group was successfully riding and completing difficult obstacles. We learned how to quick stop, swerve, shift gears, etc. I also got super close with my group! Getting to spend 2 days with the same people brings you much closer. We formed a close bond and exchanged numbers to hangout/ride after the course ended. Jason was also a super fun and friendly instructor! He never judged us when we made a mistake but pointed it out and helped us correct it for the future. This course was incredible and I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to ride!
