MSF Dirtbike School by motowayz
Course Overview
The MSF DirtBike School taught by motowayz provides hands-on rider training with an emphasis on safety and skill development. During the school, motowayz riders learn basic techniques for safely riding off-highway motorcycles. The course is held in a safe, controlled and closed course setting enabling the riders to focus on learning and developing their new skills in a no pressure and “no-judgment zone”. A motorcycle operator permit and motorcycle with a current, registered license plate is not required.
This course is the certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Dirt Course which is taught by an MSF Certified Dirt RiderCoach who is part of is a national network of DirtBike School Coaches. Although the DirtBike School is one of the MSF’s newest training programs, portions of it have been in use since 1993 by federal and state agencies to train peace officers, military personnel, search and rescue personnel, volunteers and others on the safe operation of off-highway motorcycles.

Testimonials
“The instructor was very patient and thorough with our son the entire day and he learned a lot of valuable lessons and information. 5 out of 5 stars would recommend!!” Tara
-Tara (mom)
“Tom’s beginner class for riding in the dirt is a great class for anyone riding for the first time or with a little bit of experience. It’s a soup-to-nuts experience that includes knowing your motorcycle to being able to operating it safely in a variety of situations. Tom excels at showing you how to do each exercise by doing it himself first and is always there to help you along as you learn. I highly recommend this class for anyone interested in becoming proficient at being able to ride an off-road motorcycle.”
