Rider Skills Lab (Level 1 and Level 2) - NEW for 2025

Who Should Take This Class:

  • Licensed Riders who are looking to add skills to their toolbox and boost their confidence with good Risk Offset.
  • We are of the opinion that you should always wear proper riding gear, but it is equally important to improve your skills, so you don’t have to put that gear to the test.
  • Level 1: Newer Riders or those returning after a long break from riding.
  • Levels 2: More experienced Riders looking for a challenge.

What I Will Experience:

These classes are new from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation for 2025. They are designed to be flexible and allow our Coaches to tailor the experience to group and individual needs. Do you have a skill you really want to work on? Did you see something, and you weren’t sure how you would respond? Are you wanting to elevate your riding ability? Let our certified Rider Coaches know at the start of class, so that we can help you get the most out of your experience!

  • 1/2 day. (exercises are flexible and will be adjusted to group and individual ability)
  • Level 1: approximately 4 hours (8am - 12pm)
  • Level 2: approximately 4 hours (1pm – 5pm)
