  • COURSE OVERVIEW

    The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginning and returning riders age 15½ and older. It includes a 5-hour eCourse + 11 hours of hands-on range riding over two days. Training covers motorcycle controls, basic riding skills, emergency braking, swerving, hazard awareness and responsible riding.
  • CALIFORNIA LICENSING NOTICE

    A California DMV License Waiver Certificate (also known as a DL389) will not be issued upon completion of the MSF Basic RiderCourse. The State of California requires a DL389 in order to apply for a motorcycle permit for applicants under age 21. Successful completion of this course does not exempt a student from the DMV motorcycle skills test. Additional practice sessions are offered for students who would like to practice before attempting the DMV motorcycle skills test.
  • Student Requirements

    Students must:

    • Be at least 15½ years old by the first range session.

    • Complete the 5-hour eCourse before the first range session.
    • Be able to balance and ride a bicycle.
    • Be physically able to participate safely in the riding exercises.
    • If under age 18, have a parent or legal guardian present at the first range session.

    A motorcycle permit is not required.

    • $300 — Re-enrollment after a no-show or late arrival following completion of the first range session.
    • $300 — Re-enrollment after voluntarily withdrawing or being counseled out after the first range session.

    The reduced $300 re-enrollment rate requires enrollment in another available class within 60 days of the original class date.

    Re-enrollment fees are based on the circumstances above and are not guaranteed to match the student's original enrollment price.

     

  • Course Completion

    Successful course completion is not guaranteed. Students who do not pass the skills evaluation on their first attempt may be offered a second evaluation attempt at the discretion of the RiderCoach.

    Students who would benefit from additional practice may be offered the opportunity to repeat both range riding sessions within 30 days at no additional charge, based on RiderCoach assessment and availability.

    The purpose of additional training is to provide students who are developing their riding skills with more time and practice before completing a second skills evaluation attempt. Additional training or evaluation attempts are not guaranteed and are offered at RiderCoach discretion based on the student's demonstrated riding ability and ability to participate safely.

    READ CAREFULLY. This is a legally binding agreement that affects your rights. Review the entire agreement and complete all required fields before signing. Participants under age 18 must have a parent or legal guardian sign in person at the training facility.

  • Scheduled Range Dates*
  • For purposes of this agreement, the individual named below is the “Participant,” the training location selected above is the “Event Location,” and the Participant’s attendance at or participation in the course is the “Event” or “Powersports Activities.”

    In consideration for the Participant being permitted to enter the Event Location, as well as attend or participate in the Event in any manner whatsoever (including but not limited to the observation of the Event, my use of or proximity to powersports vehicles, or other vehicles and equipment in use at the Event Location, and my presence at the Event Location including but not limited to any and all Restricted Areas (defined as any area requiring special authorization, credentials or permission to enter, or any area to which admission by the general public is restricted or prohibited, including, without limitation, the training range area)) (herein collectively referred to as the “Event” or “Powersports Activities”), I, the undersigned individual, on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin, hereby agree, acknowledge and warrant the following:

    (1)      THE EVENT AND POWERSPORTS ACTIVITIES ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS AND INVOLVE RISKS OF SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. These dangers and risks can arise from a range of foreseen or unforeseen causes, including, without limitation, crashes, vehicle or equipment failures, range and riding surface conditions, adverse weather conditions, participant error, and both negligent or non-negligent acts and omissions of Released Parties (as defined herein), myself or other Event participants. These dangers and risks expressly include but are not limited to negligent rescue operations and/or negligent procedures of one or more of the Released Parties.

    (2)      Without in any way modifying or limiting the scope of this General Release and Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk, Indemnity Agreement and Covenant Not to Sue, I shall, immediately upon entering any Restricted Area, and continuously thereafter, inspect such Restricted Area for any safety concerns. If, at any time, I am in or about a Restricted Area that I believe to be unsafe or unsatisfactory for any reason, or if I am requested to engage in an activity that I believe to be unsafe or outside my capability for any reason, I shall immediately advise the on-site Event managers or other official representatives of such and leave the Restricted Area and/or refuse to participate further in the Event. I acknowledge that I may not have the opportunity to inspect any Restricted Area prior to the start of the Event.

    (3)      Powersports Activities are physically and mentally demanding, and require personal discipline, stamina, coordination, judgment, concentration and mental alertness. I am in good general health, and have no known physical or mental limitations that could impair my performance in the Event. I have not consumed any form of alcohol or drugs (either prescription or non-prescription) that could impair my performance in the Event.

    (4)      This Agreement extends to any and all acts of negligence by one or more of the Released Parties, including negligent rescue operations or Event security, and is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the laws of the State, Province or Territory in which the Event is conducted. I have been advised of and agree to waive, on behalf of myself, my personal representatives, heirs and next of kin, all rights and benefits conferred by any statute or other law that would otherwise limit the scope of this Agreement or the undertakings and releases contained herein. If I have brought a powersports vehicle, helmet or other safety equipment to use in the Event, I agree that this Agreement extends to all Losses and Claims (as defined herein) that may occur, arise out of, or relate in any way to such vehicle or equipment.

    (5)      If any portion of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, it is agreed that the balance and remainder of this Agreement shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect, and shall be construed as though the unenforceable or invalid portion had never been contained herein.

    (6)      I have had the opportunity to read this entire Agreement and ask any questions about it. I fully understand its terms and meaning. I enter into this Agreement voluntarily, of my own free will, and without any duress.

    I HAVE READ THE ENTIRETY OF THIS GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY, ASSUMPTION OF RISK, INDEMNITY AGREEMENT, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM GIVING UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MY RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IF I AM INJURED DURING THE EVENT.
