I took the ProRide training this spring. A rainy weekend to be sure but my jaw hurt from smiling so much. I commute to work on my bike and practise what they taught, highway, street and parking lot work. This morning a car ran a red light, not at the tail end of a red, like two cars had already gone through the intersection ran a red light. I was in the middle lane when the mustang beside me hammered on the brakes. I stopped extremely hard and fast. No skid, no nose dive and I'm pretty sure I even down shifted the 52 times they hammer into you. Take the course, these guys know what they are doing. They will give you the skills to survive on the road and enjoy riding. No joke, this is the real deal. Thanks guys!read more

I had the privilege of taking the ProRide course this past weekend and am beyond thrilled at the expert level of instruction I received. I progressed from 'complete newbie' to 'competent handler' in the span of two days! The instruction is second to none -- these guys run a tight ship to say the least. The instructors really know their stuff; they run a very smooth and efficient program and were able to provide more than enough personal attention to EVERY participant to ensure that we all passed the skills test with ease. It was an utter pleasure to be taught how to ride by these guys, and I am pretty sure that our interaction doesn't end with the end of the course. They seem to be a very sociable bunch who have built a solid riding community from their recruits. I am very happy indeed that I jumped in with both feet and took the time to take this course -- 150% recommended!read more

I completed their Survival Training this weekend. There was a foot of snow in the parking lot and HAIL on test day. These guys worked their tails off to clear the lot and provide a world class experience. The Proride team Love what they do and it shows in their training. Excellent knowledge, skills, anecdotes and humour to calm the nerves. Very impressed. Don’t go anywhere else.read more

This is probably one of the best courses I've ever taken in my life. I knew nothing when it comes to riding motorcycles safely, changing gears, turning, how to maneuver a motorcycle and speeding within the appropriate limits in highway. By the end of the course, I was able to do all of the above and feel comfortable doing it while having fun. There's something to be said about the way all the instructors do their job. Not only they have fun doing it but the make sure that everybody gets the attention and advice that everybody needs as individuals which is usually rare in group courses. Special thanks to John who was always there paying attention to everyone and always concluding with uplifting comments and positive/constructive feedback. He's the one who took the group I was in on the road and he was able to gage our strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the day, these are all a bunch of cool people that are helping others in learning how to ride safely. Job incredibly done! AROD.read more

Wow - that's all I can say. I have never sat on a motorcycle in my life and wanted to get into it since my wife rides. She was devastated to hear that in BC, it is not mandatory to take a course before your exam, and advised that I needed to take one. I remember seeing the ProRide group ride up and down my friend's street in their vests night after night, so I looked them up. All of the reviews were like mine, so I figured I would give it a shot. 100 people saying the same thing couldn't be wrong. I signed up for the course and showed up. From this point forward, I was blown away. Not only was I so appreciative of everything I was taught, but it was so awesome to have so many instructors, all with their own personalities. Each of them was patient, positive and downright hilarious. When I started the parking lot day, I figured there was no way I'd ever grasp all this, and 4 days later I was on the highway! I can't thank ProRide enough for teaching me the essentials, as well as the life saving skills that ALL motorcyclists should know. Another bonus was being able to try out a ton of different bike styles to see what I liked. Thanks again, ProRide - see you out there!read more

Just finished the 6 day Survival Rider Program - was amazing from start to finish. Huge thank you to all the instructors - John, Matt, Otto, Brian and Marcel for giving me the confidence I needed to pass the skills test and get out on the road and the foundation of skills to start my new motorcycling life the right way. Highly recommended!read more

This is one of the best courses to learn how to ride a motorcycle for anyone that wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle. I had no experience riding a motorcycle when I came into this class. I had the pleasure of meeting John, Brian, Matt, Hilton and Marcel. They were all a blast to learn from. They always made sure that you were confidence in everything you had to do. If your wanting to learn or even brush up on your skills because you haven't been on a bike for a long time this is the place to be. This is a great place to also meet great people. Made some good friends and they always have old graduates come back to say hi. That must mean something. read more

I recently moved to BC from ON and needed to start the entire license process from scratch here. I have taken an equivalent course to Pro Rides Survival Rider course in Toronto and I cannot tell you how much better Pro Rides was. The teachers were awesome in every way. The course was very flexible around my tough schedule and I felt that it prepared me properly for the tests. It really was a very positive experience. You wont beat it.read more

The instructors were thorough and fun. Not a moment wasted. Their training is a necessity for safe riding. I've driven a car without accident for over 20 years, so I think I'm a good driver, but I learnt a ton from these guys about how to move on the street. Can't recommend them highly enough!read more

Proride staff teaches riders how to be safe. They do not teach how to “pass” the exam, however if one applies the principles taught in class the exam is no issue. The course starts at a fundamental level and progressively builds upon each lesson. The class bikes are great to learn with, school location is fantastic, road rides are awesome; simply put Pro Ride rocks! Five stars!read more

I thought I knew how to ride a motorcycle before taking the survival rider course. Sure, I knew how to stop, go, and turn. But I learned so much in the classroom and the parking lot stage (lane position, emergency braking, maneuvers, parking, and the list goes on) that I definitely recommend this to any rider. Whether it be someone who is just learning to ride or has been riding for years. There is so much to take from it as well as great instructors for each portion. No, seriously. Great instructors!read more

I'm 60 and ready to get rolling again after a long time on just 4 wheels. This training provided everything I needed and WAY MORE. Everyone is highly competent, super friendly, and skilled at helping each person regardless of their learning style or limitations. They go the extra mile for people having difficulties, and also recognize your developed skills and help you build them even further. This is NOT A "CANNED" program although the content is basically the same each time, the difference is in how they work with each individual and their limitations or existing skills. They have been doing this for about 17 years and the value added from this experience is noticeable! read more

Perfect for people who want to learn to ride a motorcycle! Students get constant help and feedback while learning to ride, which makes the learning process much easier and more enjoyable. Proride teaches you how to ride, and how to take on a risky activity in the safest ways possible. Would highly recommend the course. read more

I have just finished the course at Pro-Ride, and have nothing but great things to say. Brian gave informative, interesting classroom instruction laced with lots of humor. There were many points and ideas I hadn't even considered. The parking lot riding/testing with Brian and Matt was also extremely valuable, humorous and professional. Safety is the number one concern with these folks and it shows. I went from having never sat on a bike to riding confidently. I passed my Skills Test in the lot! The road rides on Mon/Tue with Marcel and Matthew were also fantastic. There are so many safety pointers and critiques they give you on your riding. I will be telling all my friends that are interested in getting a bike to enroll with Pro-Ride. If you want to survive out there...Pro-Ride will help. Thanks guys....keep it up! PS: I will be buying a bike next week!!! read more

After spending a considerable amount of time researching motorcycle training schools I decided on ProRide. I had high expectations and all of them were exceeded and the course provides great value for the money, well worth it. The instructors were extremely knowledgable and cared about your own experience as a student and a rider. I liked the progressive way the info/skills were delivered so I felt more and more confident on the bike as the days progressed. I highly recommend them and will continue to go on group rides with these hooligans :)read more

Very thorough and detailed instruction, they work very hard to make sure you know what to expect in both real life riding scenarios and the ICBC Road Test.

So fortunate to have trained with ProRide! Brian is a natural instructor, passionate about bikes and rider safety, he beautifully passed on his knowledge and kept me entertained at the same time, making the on slot of information manageable. Jen is fantastic! Her laid back approach is calming and reassuring. She was my road instructor and her ability to clearly communicate while on the road put me at ease and her skills were impressive.

Absolutely fantastic instructors and overall experience. Came highly recommended from multiple friends, and so glad I took the course.

Yes, the name says it all... giving us newbies the essential lessons in understanding BEFORE we need it... rather than LEARNING LATER after a mistake. The entire course is detailed, and the urgency in the lessons... urgency since we are dealing with life and (the outcome of a mistake)... is so relevant. IMO you cannot learn from a friend. Learn from those that see so many of us new riders that they can see the issues at first glance. Keep your friend your friend. Thanks ProRide!read more

If you're brand new to motorcycles, you'd be a fool to not consider taking the Survival Riding course. The guys are extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Even after I had finished the program, Brian had still provided support with an ICBC licensing issue I had - something he had absolutely no obligation to do. Kudos to the ProRide guys. Thanks to them, I went from no experience whatsoever on a motorcycle, to full license in about 6 weeks (Yep, passed the ICBC road test on the first try). Now I'm riding my dream bike and still consciously using the defensive techniques they teach. Thanks guys!read more

Originally I chose ProRide because there was no other alternative to acquire my MSA certificate. I didn't regret my choice and after two days on the parking lot with Matt, Otto and Raymond I was ready to ride on the road. On our final day we rode out to Horseshoe bay through the low road and back via the highway in the pouring rain. I had a great time with ProRide and even got comfortable on a 500cc sportbike by the end of the course. I look forward to riding with you again and I'll be sure to recommend the course to my friends!

Can't praise ProRide guys highly enough. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and super friendly. They will provide you with the knowledge and strategies to make you a better and safer rider.

Being able to get on a bike and ride around with an instructor helping you out was invaluable, and the road rides you get to do at the end of the course really sealed the deal. If you're thinking about getting your motorcycle license I cannot recommend these guys enough. You will not regret it, and you'll be better off for it. read more

Before I started the Proride course I was a bit hesitated about money to spend for that. However, after completion the course I would say that it worth every single penny. The guys are not just good, the most important that they do care about you and are interested in your success. Also they taught a lot of things that maybe eventually would let you survive in tough road situations. One month later after their course I passed ICBC road test with the first attempt, and the examiner's feedback was - You did a great job, man! So, I do advise to invest you time and money - in really worth it. Btw, not to forget - it also was a real fun ))read more

The team at ProRide are top notch riding experts who teach a balance of riding skills and safety strategies. I was an experienced rider but its been a while since I have been on a bike; over 10 years. I had thought I could get back in the saddle with a rental but a friend recommended ProRide for a refresh. After the refresher program I realized there were some gaps and that I had developed a couple of subtle bad habits. Not only does the saying "you can always improve" ring true, most importantly I learned new safe riding strategies that could be life saving and provide additional confidence for me and my family.read more

Fun, informative and takes the scare out of the process. Having these guys show up on test day is fantastic. Having a pre-test road test; bang on! They have a great selections of bikes, great instructors (John seems to have the edge on the rest) and flexible scheduling. This has to be the best in the west.read more

My experience with PRORIDE has been absolutely fantastic. If you want to learn to ride, come see these guys! They are knowledgeable, patient and very friendly. The PRORIDE instructors know their stuff and teach the foundations of riding and how to be a responsible rider. Take their course, you won’t be disappointed. My motorcycling journey has been a long and difficult one but Brian, John, Otto and Matt (and everyone else there) have been so supportive and encouraging I’d give them 6 stars if I could! They go above and beyond to make sure all their students are equipped with the right tools to ride safely. I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve also taken their motorcycle skills upgrade course and I HIGHLY recommend it for riders of all experiences. The course was challenging and at times uncomfortable but I definitely came out of it a better rider. Thank you guys so much! I really couldn’t have done this without you.read more

Efficient, clear, consistent direction from all instructors? Check. Ample opportunities to ask all the questions you have? Check. Good dose of humour? Check. Do I now have a solid foundation to continue my education and practice to become a safe rider? Double check. Worth the investment? Absolutely. It was an excellent weekend. Thank you!read more

Came in looking to meet chicks and learn which bike was the best babe magnet. Already a superior rider to everyone there. Instead they started rambling about safety and other laws and stuff. Also no bikes on site with my usual shotgun holster like my Fat Boy... made it harder to ride as I'm used to ride, shoot, reload. They also forget to teach you how to use your middle finger and there's no chapter on gang symbols for when you're cruising with your squad. 10/10 otherwise, well worth the money.read more

I had a lot of worries before i started, But from the first day my worries began to disappear, I felt how much experience they had. They had a very solid curriculum, and all the explanations were very simple and easy to understand, and all their demonstrations were gradually exaggerated so that i could see well. They were always kind and kind to us and taught us well with patience. plus i was surprised after pass. I thought, I was fully guaranteed the money I paid, but the traffic class steps were waiting for me. The other day I rode a traffic class with my instructor , and experienced what was a safe and fun ride. the course isn't done yet. I'm happy wait for the next ride. I am especially grateful to John. Thanks again instructor Matt,Brian,Len,Joel,Otto,Erica and John......,read more

I have been riding for over 30 years on and off and steadily for the last 17 years. After purchasing a 900 pound Ultra Limited Harley, I wanted to take a skills refresher course to improve my skills. The 4 hour parking lot course and exercises modeled after the Oregon State police program was excellent along with our main instructor John. At 150.00 per rider for 4 hours of excellent skills training in a large parking lot, this course is definitely more than worth it. At the end of the 4 hours, my hog felt at least 200 pounds lighter and slow speed U turns, right turns, figure 8's are now a breeze. I strongly recommend ProRIDE to any one who currently rides, regardless of how many years you have under your belt. Michael Woytowich. Richmond, BC.read more

I would strongly recommend ProRIDE to anyone thinking of taking up riding. I was a little nervous going into it, but came out feeling ecstatic about riding and confident in my ability. I actually took ProRIDE's Survival Rider Training course back in 2016, and it was my first ever experience riding a motorcycle. I remember being very pleased with the course and instructors and feeling relatively confident by the end of it. For no reason other than circumstances, I didn't touch another bike again until recently when I was finally able to get a bike of my own, but having only ridden during the one course, and it being such a long time since, I wasn't sure that I would still remember how to. That being said, my concerns quickly disappeared after I sat on the bike and my muscle memory got me going; it was super easy to get back into and felt very natural. This made me even more certain that the decision to learn from ProRIDE was a great one. Thanks again ProRIDE, and I apologise for such a late review!read more

If you are a new rider I highly recommend this course without reservation. Worth every penny and then some. If I had kids I put them through. If my girlfriend gets an interest I would make her do this course too. Matt, Otto, John and Brian are awesome. Incredible knowledge, experience and humour-looking at you Matt. If you are unsure if you think riding is for you, take this course. This weekend these guys worked with all comfort and experience levels.read more

An all around very comprehensive training. The class is taught around acquiring practical and easy to apply riding fundamentals. The different aspects of safe riding skills are introduced in their most elementary form and then incrementally built up over the duration of the class to form a solid base for an all encompassing survival riding philosophy that should last a lifetime. The sincere drive from all instructors to prepare the students for safe street riding is present throughout the length of the 5 day class. Thanks John, Brian, Otto and Matt for a fantastic experience...read more

I finished my Survival Rider weekend training last night (the first class of the year), and the whole experience was great! As a middle-aged guy who has lost a bit of his more risk-prone side, I was somewhat nervous to jump on a bike for the first time ever. ProRIDE made this so much easier and enjoyable. The instructors were all approachable, friendly, and really patient in answering questions. You can tell they want everyone to succeed in learning to ride and enjoy motorcycling. John, Brian, Matt (alright meow!), Joel, and the other instructors were really engaging and they kept us laughing through the initial frustration of learning to ride. I am shocked at how much I enjoyed the city ride last night and how confident I felt riding a bike with the group through North Vancouver. I highly recommend ProRIDE to anyone that is considering learning to ride!read more

Easily the best instructors and crew in the industry! ProRIDE is a must if you're wanting to learn how to ride properly and safe. They're fun, organized and professional, and really drive home the essentials of riding safely and developing good riding habits. They have all the essential equipment and really work hard to make sure everyone gets all the attention and instruction they need. This was easily the best investment I made in my riding future.

I decided to get licensed to ride a street bike and a friend recommended ProRide as THE place learn how to ride safely and proficiently on a motorcycle. I loved the 2 nights of theoretical training in the class with John and Brian BUT the best part was the practical training on the bikes, in the closed off parking lot at CapU. I grew up riding bikes but the class had a mix of all skill levels and I have to applaud the trainers for being so professional and how they made it fun for everyone. I highly recommend this group for training and today I did my pre-icbc-road-test-training and “passed” with flying colours! Thanks again everyone!!! Drive safely!!!read more
