Had a a really good experience with these guys. I’ve never driven a stick shift before . And they walked you through all of it. If you ever get a bike or thinking about it , I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn! Read Less

I always thought I'd be happy just riding in back of the bike, realized it's more fun to be in front and in control. I took the MTA dirt bike course and was hooked. Had to get my endorsement. The class instructors made the experience fun, exciting and challenging. I received so much encouragement from my teachers. I'd highly recommend this school and instructors to anyone wanting to learn to ride. Read Less

These guys and gals were the best... hands down! Unless you can't follow simple directions this is the place for you! Knowledgeable staff with a great atmosphere! These guys are the best no questions asked! I'll never go anywhere else! Read Less

My son, who had never even been on a motorcycle, took the course. The team went well above and beyond all my expectations to help him understand everything he needs to know to be a good, safe rider. I would give 10 stars if I could! Read Less

Just successfully completed the Basic Motorcycle Safety course at the a Motorcycle Training Academy. It was a 5 star experience, the RiderCoaches were skilled and patient. Many of the students had never ridden a motorcycle let alone operated a motorcycle. Prep included an online eCourse so we could all begin on the same page in class. The actual two day course had plenty of riding practice, and students had plenty of options regarding motorcycles they could use for the course. Did I mention 'patience?' Actually, the RiderCoaches should be anointed sainthood. A testament to their skill and instruction, the group passed! Although there is no guarantee students pass, Motorcycle Training Academy is totally dedicated to helping each student gain the confidence and operator skills offering remedial training and review, to include 'range' time and instruction. I was impressed with Leslie Larson's commitment to get the enrollment correct, and her and the office staff's timely documentation I needed for my out-of-state licensing requirements. Kudos to the MTA for getting our class up-to-speed! Read Less

Great class, fun and educational, you can learn a lot in a relaxed setting. The coaches are top notch knowledgeable and take their time to explain everything. I really enjoyed it and totally recommend it to anyone that is new to riding along with anyone that needs to brush up on their skills. Read Less

The class was great and so were the instructors! I learned quite a bit this weekend. Now time to get a bike and learn more. Planning on taking other classes when I get a chance. Would highly recommend this class to anyone! Thanks guys! Read Less

I took the beginners riders course. The first day was very cold and snowy. We got through as much as the weather would allow safely. The next day was beautiful. The instructors are very helpful and genuinely care. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to ride. I did not give them 5 stars because before leaving after taking my written test I heard what appeared to be the owner I do not know her by name but she rudely interrupted the gentleman giving us our written test demanding he give her his time slips so that "he can get paid". She was in a hurry and had to pickup her kids from church?? Either way it was incredibly uncomfortable and unprofessional for her to treat or talk to an employee that way. Other than that it was a great experience. Read Less

I liked the one on one attention we each received during the riding practice sessions. The instructors gave great advice and tools to help me pass the riding exam. It was more challenging than I thought it was going to be, and had so much fun doing it! I have a new found respect for motorcycle riders and riding! Read Less

I am so glad I did my course with Motorcycle Training Academy. Justin did a fantastic job coaching us. I learned a lot from him and I am thankful that he kept telling me to smile and have fun riding. It helped me relax and I enjoyed riding. Thank you Kent and everyone else at the Academy but special shout out to Justin! Read Less

I resisted the idea of taking this class because I have been riding my whole life and it seemed like a waste of money to be told what you already know. So I passed the state's written exam and got myself a permit. Then I took the riding test and failed miserably. I had no idea what to expect and so I never practiced the maneuvers they test on. That's why I decided to take the class and I'm glad I did. ... The first thing I learned was that my very first riding teacher (my step-dad) got a few things wrong. I was horrified as the instructor demonstrated how to fitness the clutch to get fine control of power to the wheel. As a kid, I was yelled at for trying that move. "You'll burn the clutch up!" So I spent my whole life finessing the throttle. So maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm glad I spent the time and money on the course. The instructors were just fantastic and their feedback helped me improve my skills a whole lot. I passed the riding test with ease. See More Read Less

I struggled with this class at first because my bike had a sensitive clutch and I was in 2nd gear without my knowing. I was very frustrated but my instructor was patient and determined to help me graduate. I passed the class with flying colors all because of the love and support from my instructors and my boyfriend who also took the class. We highly recommend the basic rider course for anyone ready to burn some rubber. Read Less

My husband took the BRC1 class a few years ago before he had his own motorcycle as a refresher (it had been years since he rode) and also to get his endorsement without owning his own bike. He got a Harley a while later and I got tired of looking at the back of his helmet. When I started thinking about getting my own motorcycle my husband and all the members of the Pikes Peak HOG Chapter told me the BRC1 course was a must. When I got my motorcycle for Christmas I figured h...e would at least kind of teach me in our cul-de-sac or in a nearby parking lot a little--but he wouldn't let me on that thing until I had taken this class. So I took it the first chance I had (Jan 14-15)! The teachers were great and I learned a lot, including how to ride, of course. I went from never having ridden a motorcycle, to passing the test, within the time frame of the BRC1 class. I was impressed with the commitment all instructors had to each rider learning what we needed to know as well as passing the riding test. Garrett was super as were the instructors who helped out on the riding course. I learned a bit from each of them. I highly recommend this class and this school to anyone wanting to learn to ride and/or wanting to improve their skills. My husband and I plan to take more classes in the future. See More Read Less

Amazing experience! When I was there I didn't feel like just a customer, I felt like a person. Whether or not I passed the class didn't matter to them, they cared about me. If I fail they will do some one on one lessons with me or if I passed great! I loved the instructors they definitely knew what they were talking about which made me feel much safer with them. I didn't walk in and was being taught by someone who learned yesterday. My instructors had been riding many many years. All together it was an incredible experience and I will absolutely recommend this to a friend! Read Less

I might give a better review had I been able to ride today, but on the second day you have to do s turns and a uturn to start out on the second day of a weekend class and if you fail = they take you off the bike! So I sat out the whole SUN of a weekend class - to have to sign up again for another round. However, on their behalf - everyone else passed except me and I did fine on the written part of the test. What can I say - I am 57 and never driven a motor cycle before yesterday! Managed 5 hours yesterday - wasn't pretty all the time - but managed. Still alive to try another day and will master this, just like skiing, which took a darn long time, driving, riding a bike, and other things... It will take time!  Hope I can get some one on one training and soon. I figure bold enough to yelp - I might just get it! Read Less

I took the week day class on 10/17-10/18. I had a great experience with this class. I thought the class room prep was well organized and structured. The instructors on the range were very helpful and positive. I purchased and new motorcycle 3 days after the class. While I was some what nervous at first, I can tell that the instruction I received has helped me out significantly. Read Less
