Saturday Sept 21 - Zero to Hero | Kamloops, BC
One-day motorcycle clinic for complete beginners.
Learn to ride on OUR MOTORCYCLES – EVEN if you HAVE NEVER RIDDEN BEFORE!
Learning to ride a motorcycle off-road makes sense. There is no question that learning to ride in the dirt, away from roads and traffic, is the safest way to learn the basics. Motorcycle riders with dirt bike experience are statistically much less likely to have a street accident. Whether your dream is to tear-up the trails or road-trip a Harley, low speed, off-road riding makes beginner mistakes fun rather than fatal.
Many people have had terrible first experiences on motorcycles – from being instructed by an impatient family member to having crashed a heavy street bike into the ditch. Traction eRag’s Zero to Hero has been designed to overcome fear and regain confidence on two wheels. Learn safely in a large, flat training area with patient, experienced instructors.
Starting from the absolute basics, we create a safe, low-pressure environment for learning to ride a motorcycle. This class excludes more experienced riders, so you will not feel left behind. If you are a more experienced rider, you may want to consider Summer School.
Zero to Hero offers you the seat time and repetition required to build muscle memory. The class progresses at your speed, with individual attention learning fundamental skill sets using games and drills designed to get you feeling comfortable on a motorcycle.
