Basic Rider's Course
The MSF Basic Rider Course is a research-based and action-oriented core curriculum offered to riders of varying levels of experience. This course teaches fundamental skills and is not intended to produce the superb riding skills of an experienced rider; rather, it provides instruction in basic entry-level skills for a new rider to begin practicing and developing the mental and motor skills important for safe street operation.
The Basic Riders Course includes basic motorcycle operation, maximum effective braking techniques, turning skills, obstacle avoidance maneuvers, classroom instruction and ten hours of “on cycle” training. Rider coaches for the program are all friendly, knowledgeable and experienced motorcycle operators who are nationally certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) as well as the Florida Rider Training Program (FRTP). We strive to provide a positive / low stress learning environment.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Basic Rider Course consists of 15 hours of instruction including approximately 5 hours of online training and 10 hours of intense riding on the parking lot range. Classes are scheduled every weekend.
• Saturday 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
• Sunday 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
We provide all classroom materials, helmets and motorcycles. Early sign up ensures participation (class size limited to 10). A prerequisite for attendance in the Basic Rider Course is the completion of the MSF Basic eCourse. The MSF Basic eCourse is a highly interactive 5-hr. online program that provides riders of all skill levels with the basics of motorcycling. With integrated graphics, photos and video to illustrate the lessons, this included program allows you to control the pace of your learning. The eCourse must be completed within 30 days prior to the class start date. Please do not register for an eCourse prior to registering for the Basic Rider Course. A unique Enrollment link and instructions will be sent to you approximately 10 days prior to your face-to-face Basic Rider Course that will allow you to take the eCourse at no additional cost.
Upon successful completion of the Basic Rider Course, graduates are exempt from further testing at the Division of Driver Licenses Office and may be entitled to insurance premium discounts through participating insurance companies. Please note that the Basic eCourse alone is NOT accepted as a license waiver by any state’s department of motor vehicles, or as a license to ride a motorcycle or as a learner’s permit.
ADVANCED SKILLS COURSE
A motorcycle training class so unique that you can’t afford to miss it, your life may depend on it! ProRider advanced motorcycle skill courses include the same training exercises used by police motorcycle officers and motorcycle rodeo competitors. We will teach you to apply tried and true riding techniques that are guaranteed to improve your riding ability and riding confidence. Classes cover slow speed maneuvers, confined space turns, crash avoidance, and various braking challenges. ProRider courses are conducted by police motorcycle officers and civilians who have successfully completed the 80 hour challenging police motorcycle school. If you are an experienced rider, who desires to take your riding to the next level, increase your abilities, and have fun in the process… come ride with us in an upcoming class.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This is an 8 hour, challenging course that will allow riders to learn how to better handle their personal motorcycle on the road and at slow speeds. This program will incorporate the techniques learned and mastered by police motorcycle officers, and will improve the riding abilities of even the most seasoned rider. At the end of the course, participants will receive a successful completion certificate, as well as a refined skill set and newfound confidence.
In this course, riders will…
• “Bond” with their personal motorcycles and familiarize with the bikes’ full capabilities and limitations
• Learn and practice slow-speed techniques that are perfect for those pesky parking lots and tight turnarounds (…and when you want to impress your friends, or passenger).
• Practice braking, evasive maneuvers, and hazard avoidance exercises that may save your ride and hide from serious damage, injury or death.
Intended Audience:
This course is intended for experienced motorcycle riders, who have a firm grasp of the basic skills of operating a motorcycle, but desire to become a better, safer, and more confident rider. This is a challenging course, so riders must have physical stamina to withstand a full day on the range.
