I took the beginners course with instructors Joe and Jessie this weekend. They were very helpful and supportive through out the class. They even taught me a way to help with counter steering that doesn't put to much pressure on my bad shoulder. They were always positive while they helped correct our mistakes or when we had problems with the bike we were riding. Thank you Idaho Star and their instructors for helping me reach my dream of driving a motorcycle.

I just finished this class and it was fantastic I'm so glad I took this class my instructors Mark and Jim were both very informative and nice to work with if I ever hear of someone looking to get a motorcycle I will definitely recommend this class. 10/10 would do it again for fun

I honestly can’t say enough awesome things about this program. I was one of the few who had never even been on a dirt bike before let alone a motorcycle. I don’t even know how to drive a manual car. So the panic, worry and nervousness I had was on the highest level. At some points I had to be reminded to breath. Lol. Seriously I was shaking nervous. Thankfully we had, I am quite sure, two of the best instructors. I was blessed with having them as my instructors or else I know I wouldn’t have gotten through that course in one piece. Shawn and Nick you guys are awesome and I can’t thank you enough for your patients and great instruction and of course for giving me the courage and confidence to ride. Hope to see you both in the intermediate course.

I had an excellent experience with my STAR course both online and in the field. Online, at first I thought that the course seemed a bit antiquated but quickly realized it didn't matter because of how many things I learned from it. When I went to the in-person portion, I had a great experience and received top-tier communication & feedback from the STAR instructors, Sunshine and Tom. The motorcycles rode well and I felt like I got a ton of good practice in. As a college student with a pretty limited amount of disposable income, before I took the course I was on the fence about dishing out the cash for it. However, I have absolutely no regrets and feel that I got my money's worth and then some from the class. I would recommend it to anybody who has any interest in riding motorcycles.

The bike I was riding had a bent rear brake lever, so the emergency braking lesson kind of sucked. I would definitely take the two day class if you can, 8am to 6:45 is a little much, although we did get done a little early.

I took an afternoon intro course with Jim and a handful of students. Jim was personable, thorough, and fun! He made learning very easy. The bikes were in great condition and I felt very safe. Thank you for the great experience! Looking forward to attending more classes!

I had training last Saturday and Sunday(May 29th-30th) at Meridian high school . I had two instructors. The younger one was very nice and patient with me. He gave me many suggestions with positive feedbacks. However, the older instructor was not patient with me at all and he literally yelled at me. As a beginner, I already had many details need to worry while riding, he put more stress on me. When I was asking him questions, he was mocking me at least couple times. At the end of the training the older instructor told me that I passed the riding test but he doesn’t think that I am ready for on the road. He said that I need practice more. I agreed with him. I passed all the subjects at the first time. There were couple students needed to redo the subjects. I asked one of the student who took twice to pass. He told me that instructor said he is ready to ride on the road but need more practice. I am very confused with why the older instructor let me pass the first time but told me that I am not ready on the road. He explained some parts I could do better. Of course, I could do a lot better that is why I am here to learn. All in all, I wish he could just tell me the problem and let me do it again. Not just saying that I am not ready fo the road which is very frustrating.

I took the beginners course some time ago and the riding portion was great! The instructors were extremely helpful and informative on what we all were doing wrong and right and able to correct everyone. I recommend everyone that asks about getting started riding to take their course even if they've ridden before.

James Thorusen

Took the Basic course this past weekend. It was a lot of fun and very informative! It was nice getting back on the bike after 7 years. Instructors were great and gave plenty of feed back on how to improve my riding. I'll be taking the Intermediate course soon!

I had extremely limited knowledge of motorcycles before the STARs beginner eCourse. In fact, I was a little terrified of motorcycles and of taking a class where surely, I'd look like a fool. First of all, the STAR course does NOT make you feel like a fool, quite the opposite. I can't say enough good things about the instructors (Jim and Mark), who made sure we were knowledgeable and confident with our motorcycles even before riding with our feet-up. The on-bike lessons start slowly and simply so a beginner student like me, never felt rushed or overwhelmed. By the end of day 2, I was astounded by how far my abilities had come. I'm an absolute believer in this program and will encourage anyone I meet, who's interested in motorcycles, to take it. Perhaps the biggest asset are the instructors, who are true motorcycle enthusiasts. Their joy in riding, and riding correctly, is infectious. I can't thank them and this program enough for giving me the pride I feel now at having completed the first class. If you're on the fence about taking a course, like I was, just do it... it's safe, fun, supportive, and exhilarating.

In response to previous review from the student who suffered a broken fibula, we are very sorry to hear that it was a significant injury. Unfortunately, learning to ride a motorcycle is not a risk-free activity, but we take all incidents seriously. We would appreciate the opportunity to extend our regrets about the incident as well as the opportunity to offer a retake of the course once healed, if that is the wish. Any time a student leaves a class without completing it, for any reason, we ask that they follow up with a phone call to our main office to discuss options. Instructors in the field do not necessarily have the resources during class to offer alternatives, but the office staff is more than happy to help. Unfortunately, we never received any further communication from the student once she left the course. As such, we had no way of knowing she suffered a broken ankle or was unhappy with the course or instructors. We regret not having the chance to discuss the issues and options before seeing a negative review. We strive to give excellent customer service and want to provide a great experience for all of our students. -Sunshine Beer, Idaho STAR Program Director

This program is an absolute must if you want to ride and never have, have ridden in the past or already do. The instructors are awesome. They're approachable, informative, and I never felt like they were negatively singling me or anyone else out. They truly want you to leave a better rider. At the end you'll be a more confident and safer rider. Do it for yourself and especially others.

William Davis

Cant recommend this enough. I took Basic 1 and was constantly learning things in a way that was fun while also drilling in good habits. Instructors ( S/O to Kirk and Brian) were approachable and made for a relaxed environment, which definitely helped those riders who were more nervous. The price is a steal considering what you get out of it, too! I plan on enrolling in their more advanced programs down the line

I appreciated the Idaho Star office reaching out to me to reschedule my course during a busy COVID time. My instructors (Scott and Rick) were both professional, informative, and helped me feel comfortable despite rainy conditions. I would consider taking an intermediate class with this program.

I crashed a little under a year ago and I will admit, I was considering selling my bike and never riding again. I decided I would take the experience course as I come from a family or very confident riders and I had been riding on and off for a few years. I had some extreme mental blocks to get past call it fear or some form of PTSD I don't know, I just know that the thought of getting on a bike was terrifying to me. The course in the morning taught by Will was awesome, I learned what I did wrong and we even were able to talk about it and what to do differently safely. Then it came to range time on the bike. I was having a LOT of trouble with turning the bike right ( the way I was turning when I crashed ) Mike and Will both where AMAZING at giving me suggestions and were very understanding with my situation. By the halfway point of the range time I was COMFORTABLY AND CONFIDENTLY doing tight figure 8 turns - something I would have never had the courage to try before Will and Mikes help. If you are an advanced rider I HIGHLY recommend taking the course to learn some technical pieces that will improve your enjoyment riding and your safety. If you are a brand new rider I can see this course as being the MOST valuable thing you could do.

It's a pleasure working with the Idaho STAR team! The Idaho STAR online eRider program streamlines motorcycle training; making it quicker for students to get their completion card and start riding on the open roads.

Absolute must for anyone riding a motorcycle on the street. I don't care how good you think you are, you will learn something from these classes.
