Real Stories. Real People.
Great experience for kids. My 6- and 9-year-olds loved the thrill of riding a dirt bike. The staff were very friendly, and the instructors were kind, patient, knowledgeable and attentive to the kids. The small bikes were easy to learn, so after 30 minutes of teaching they were off into the forest trails and came back with huge smiles on their faces. We will definitely be coming back again.
