Now what? As a new rider getting back into the sport of motorcycling it is essential to have a solid foundation of skills to work with. The beginning level (BRC, IRT) courses provide that solid foundation you can build on. Continuing with other courses helps you progress and build skill. Choosing more training is what makes you an Experienced Rider. If you stop with just basic training you won't be able to become more than a basic level rider no matter how long you ride your motorcycle.

If you currently ride a motorcycle:

PSSOR Intermediate Dirtbike Training	Lets face it, rain and debris are the norms on roads in our area.

During spring, fall or winter...when it's raining and muddy!	$160-$185	Being able to relax off road when you slipping and sliding is handy for that slick spot on the street like oil, sand or gravel.

Advanced Street Skills	In the Northwest the majority of fatal motorcycle crashes are single-vehicle (motorcycle only) and usually happen in a curve on rural roads. This means that too many riders do not have that "buffer" in their skill level to control their motorcycle.	After you've taken the ERC. The A.S.S. only happens a couple times a year!	$295	A race track provides a closed course where we can ride at street speeds with plenty of "buffer" for honing cornering skills.	You will ride your own motorcycle.
Lee Parks' Total Control Training	Learning more advanced riding techniques adds to your tool bag of skills. Experience by itself doesn't make you a better rider, new skills are essential to improving and staying safe.	After you've taken the ERC and when you are ready to learn more of what your motorcycle can do and how to control it with less effort.	$295	An increased skill level creates more of a "buffer" in regular street riding. You may get additional insurance discounts.	You will ride your own motorcycle.

Now what? If you currently ride a motorcycle but have never taken a training course you are missing out on foundation skills and you are at more risk for crashing your motorcycle. You can't teach yourself what you don't know, and our instructors are training beyond industry standards to provide the feedback you need to improve your skill level.

If you choose not to start or continue training you will remain at a beginner level year after year after year. Experience by itself does not make you a safer rider, but training will increase your skill level.
