TESTIMONIALS
100% 5-STAR RATING ON GOOGLE REVIEWS
The answer is: YES and even more than that. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because even with a perfect rating, this academy is being undersold. Let me tell you about my experience.
Myself, my wife, and my two boys (12yr and 10yr) wanted to learn how to dirt bike. But we were really intimidated with all of the lingo, equipment, etc - we didn’t know where to start. We also know it can be a dangerous sport, so we wanted to learn good fundamental so we can be safe. Luckily, I did some Google searching and found The Dirt Bike Academy. We wanted a safe place to learn (no judgment, no egos) and attain core skills to be safe and effective on the trails before we attempted going out for the first time. Once I reached out to The Dirt Bike Academy, Brett immediately put my mind at ease - he helped me select a good weekend, helped walk me through what equipment I needed (they supply the dirt bikes), and reassured me that it was a comfortable learning experience.
Now that we are back from our 2-day beginner course I can say it was the best learning experience I’ve had in a really long time. The personalized coaching, progressive skill exercises, and positivity that come from the coaches (Brett and Jeff) are beyond compare. I had never been on a dirt bike before that first class day and now I am 100% confident that I can hit the trails and properly assess what I can tackle based on my current skill level. I am no longer intimidated and I feel confident I can ride efficiently and effectively. My wife and two boys also gained so much skill and confidence - which is mainly due to Brett and Jeff’s coaching style. Without a doubt “the coach makes or breaks the course” and Brett and Jeff are incredible coaches. My family and I have done a ton of “family experiences” and amazing trips over the last 10 years and this course is absolutely in our top 3 all time best experiences.
If you’re on the fence about doing this - I recommend you go for it. It all that you hope it will be - and more! My family and I are already discussing when we can do our next two day intermediate course with The Dirt Bike Academy. Trust me, this experience is incredible.
Thank you
“My 18 year old son and I attended on June 7th & 8th. We had a great time and learned so much from Jeff.
He is a great instructor, is very easy going and has a great sense of humor. I have years of experience riding a motorcycle professionally, however riding a dirt bike is just different. We bought our dirt bikes last fall and have been riding on our own without training. Jeff taught us how to ride the right way! I would recommend this course for anyone, no matter what your prior riding experience!!”
“Jeff is a phenomenal and highly knowledgeable instructor with DECADES of experience in teaching how to ride dirt bikes and adventure bikes.
The classes are small enough for focused attention on the students and is structured to meet the foundations of riding for good riding habits. There ARE differences to street riding so it is worth taking even if you have street riding experience. Will be coming back for level II!”
“My ADV bike course was a pleasure. Jeff gave me his undivided attention and made the instruction fun.
He explained and demonstrated each exercise with skill and precision, which made it easy for me to follow his instructions. The exercises require the coordination of many separate skills, which were challenging for me to do well. His frequent feedback moved me in the right direction and helped me be successful in accomplishing the goals. Jeff’s positive comments during the whole course helped me to finish it with a great deal of satisfaction at the increased level of confindence in my own ability. I recommend Jeff and ADV bike class for any serious minded riders who want to learn to be better, safer, and enjoy their adventures more.”
“Two days after my 69th Birthday, I attended a Premier of Wyoming BDR, hosted by Jeffrey Ufberg of The Dirt Bike Academy and Hanover Powersports. It was right then and there that I decided I wanted to learn how to properly ride my KLR 650, having purchased it in 2009, but never actually riding it with confidence off-road.
Today, I completed the MSF Adventure Bike Course, and am super excited to get off road ASAP! Fact is, I had no idea how different it was from the MSF Road Course I took a few months after purchasing my 2014 Victory Cross Country Tour of which I learned far better techniques for navigating the highways of America. But this course was far more in depth with all aspects of off road riding that by the end of it, I knew so much more than I did going in, and now can’t wait to ride America’s BDR Routes with others, including Jeffrey whom I know would be a great riding partner on such exciting adventures. For anyone riding Dirt, Dual Sport or Adventure style motorcycles, I HIGHLY recommend attending a class with Jeffrey! You will emerge a far better and safer rider!!!”
“I took the Adventure Bike riding class at the Dirt Bike Academy with Jeff. My experience was excellent in every way I can see. Jeff is a great conversationalist, and that certainly sets the background for the class.
He not only speaks, but also listens and comes up with suggestions: individualized approach is highly rated in my book. I believe we got excellent instruction. Before every exercise Jeff would make sure everyone was crystal clear what we are trying to achieve. Then, while we were at it he would suggest ways to improve individually – with multiple tricks, if necessary, to shape the muscle memory. I think that was his riding and teaching experience coming through. At the end of the class, looked like, everyone was tired but happy. I certainly learned a lot, feel more comfortable with what I can do with my bike, and am very excited for what is next. Excellent class!”
“Jeff provides the best possible training and location to advance anyone’s off road motorcycle skills.
I am comparing it to another brand name course I took previously that I found much less helpful. By moving us through each exercise with patience and encouragement I found myself riding much better and confidently as the day went on. And the venue is beautiful and forgiving which makes it all the better. I highly recommend the course and Jeff is a superb teacher.”
“I recently attended a one-day dirt bike training course run by Jeffery, and I am beyond impressed with the experience.
Not only did we learn a lot in just one day, but Jeffery’s engaging and personable approach made the training enjoyable and memorable for my whole family. Jeffery was not only knowledgeable about dirt bike riding techniques but also had a unique way of connecting with my kids, which kept their attention throughout the course. He demonstrated a perfect balance of patience, encouragement, and professionalism, which made everyone feel comfortable and eager to learn.”
“Fantastic! Jeff, provided thorough instructions on how to be a safe and effective dirt bike rider.
During the full day-training session Jeff was very supportive, respectful and created a STRESS- FREE learning environment. His positive coaching style during all the lessons allowed me to naturally build up my confidence. Where in the end, I felt confident to challenge myself in learning the more advanced technical moves. I am excited! I feel I am in a great place to continue on in my dirt bike journey.”
“The Dirt Bike Academy and owner Jeff are hands down the best around. He had my 11 year old son riding with a clutch on his first attempt.
Within a 4 hour lesson my son went from never being on a dirt bike to doing many different turning, braking and shifting drills – much more than I had hoped for. Jeff’s skills and teaching style was so impressive that I’ve taken lessons myself. I’ve been riding for over 30 years and have learned every time I’m with Jeff. Since that first lesson for my son both he and I have had many private lessons and are much better riders as a result.”
“I just did the Adventure Bike course. Jeff was an excellent teacher with a clear passion for his students learning.
While the course is designed for beginner riders to start grasping off road concepts, as a more advanced rider I still got a lot out of the experience. Jeff found ways to challenge me and helped pin point some area’s to improve. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to refine their riding.”
