"My daughter took the course and love it! Although she didn’t pass she learned so much and can’t wait to go back. Braydon & Dutchie brought their A-Game! My daughter will absolutely be going back, as will the rest of the family as they grow and learn. Thank you Learn To Ride!"

"I have had experience with multiple instructors and the owner of Learn to Ride VC and all of my experiences with them were extremely pleasant. The instructors are very professional while still being assertive and teaching important, life saving skills. I highly suggest them to anybody looking to learn to ride from the very beginning, improve their skills or just trying to get their license. All who work with Learn to Ride VC will leave being a more knowledgeable and safe rider!"

"I highly recommend this motorcycle safety course for anyone who needs a refresher or anyone who is new to riding. I never rode a motorcycle a day in my life until I took this course and I’m so thankful for the amazing instructors I had that helped me during my class and still use what they taught me in my riding today. Definitely coming back and taking their intermediate riding course to keep developing my skills!"

I completed the course a couple of weeks later and the range instructors were Zig and Brayden..."

"It’s worth the price. I have never been on a motorcycle and was kinda nervous but I always wanted to be on a bike since I was a kid. I finally jumped the gun and took a spot on the course. The instructors: Jose and Garrett(I think) really do care and teach you how to ride and really helped build my confidence on it. I learned how to shift, turn, the dangers of riding, statistics, etc. My favorite thing I learned is how to use “SPAT”leaning the bike to turn(yes, they provide the bikes based on your height..."
