Reviews of NOLA Riding Academy

Shelton Green

Thank you Nola Riding Academy, we had a great weekend in Gulfport with instructors Angel and Larry. They were very helpful to new and experienced riders. It amazed me that some in the class of 9 had never ridden before, they were able to teach them from scratch. Basically, if you can balance a bicycle you can ride a motorcycle. Thank you again, I look forward to the intermediate riders course when it's available!

Great experience completing the Basic Riders Course with Clint and Angel! After not having been on a bike in over 20 years, it was great to get back on and ride in a safe, fun, and exciting environment. They had a wide range of bikes to ride too (Kawasakis, Yamahas, Hondas, etc). They gave us opportunities to ride them all on the course to try them all out - a major help in figuring out my upcoming purchase. You def won’t be stuck riding boring bikes here!! If you’re looking at choices for where to take the MSF BRC, or have been thinking about doing it but haven't taken the jump, look no further than NOLA Riding, you’ll be glad you did.

By far the best riding program around, friendly and knowledgeable staff offering MSF basic rider training, one on one private training, and a complete outfitter for on Track training at one of Nola Motorsports Parks two motorcycle courses. Gear, Parts, Service, & Motorcycles also available.

I recently took the course with Angel, Nelly. And Clint. They were nothing short of absolutely amazing. They're highly knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging! I had a few mishaps during the training (but never dropped the bike. Lol) that I was able to correct through the emergency situation training I had received from the coaches. I cannot recommend taking this course with them enough! Oh, and if you want your certificate sealed to take to the DMV upon "graduation", do the E-Course beforehand. Otherwise, it will be mailed to you at a later date when you present it to the coaches. Anyway, they're awesome. Do it.

Very through. Very knowledgeable. If you're looking to ride, take your classes from them. (Ps. Riding in the fall/winter is better than the summer!)

HERMAN CLARK

The instructors, Larry and Angel, were knowledgeable, encouraging, professional, and most of all..very patient. They ensured that the students were comfortable with the machines they were on. If a student was struggling with a task, they went above and beyond to figure out how to reach said student which created confidence in the student, leading to success. No one was rushed or pushed pass their comfort level. I highly recommend NOLA Riding Academy.

Stunningly beautiful establishment, great staff, best time I've ever had. Hooked for life!

Clint Sanchez

I took the MSF basic riding course over the weekend at NOLA Riding Academy, and can't speak highly enough of the facilities and the teachers. I went into the class terrified of riding my new motorcycle, but left confident and armed with the tools and knowledge needed to practice in perfecting my riding skills. Shouts out to Clint, Angel, and Larry, the best riding coaches one could ask for!

AJahy

Absolutely outstanding! From the moment the class started I felt welcome and comfortable. Angel and Larry are the best instructors! They made me feel confident about riding. It was never a moment when they got frustrated or aggravated with anyone in the class. Our entire class passed and got our certificates because of their expertise! They both are very knowledgeable about everything and they genuinely want to see each student do well. They asked us constantly how we were feeling and made sure that everyone was confident in themselves. I am looking forward to the intermediate class because I know once they add that class I will gain even more knowledge from these 2 instructors!

My wife and I took the can am rider course this past weekend the instructor Clint is DEFINITELY the truth he made the class fun and interesting

Peggy Wallace

The MSF class was great for beginner riders. The 2 instructors, Angel and Larry, were excellent teachers who showed patience with those who had no riding experience. They kept students engaged at all times and clearly explained exercises and provided demonstrations before each segment. Highly recommend taking the class!

Second Line Biz

Been riding for years and finally took the MSF Basic Rider Course to satisfy my insurance carrier. The course was well run and a complete blast. Even an old dog like me picked up some very helpful tips that will stay with me for the rest of my riding days. Angel and Larry are terrific and did a fantastic job coaching even the most novice riders in our group to the point that they were ready for the road. Looking forward to taking the next class when I can find the time.

Darren Cornelius

The instructor was truly a professional, so glad I took the course. If your new to riding I highly encourage you to take the course.

Andrew Delos Reyes

We had a private race for a bachelor party and the staff was friendly and amazing. The tracks they made for us were great and they allowed us to practice and taught us some techniques so that we could have the best time when the competition really counted! Their gear is friendly for recording with GoPro equipment. Would highly recommend.

This "IS" the motorcycle riding academy to go to for your MSF certification. They have smaller bikes for smaller folks or folks that might be a little more uncomfortable on a bike. The coaches are ALL extremely supportive, knowledgeable, PATIENT, FAIR and super savvy. Owner Clint goes way out of his way to make sure you are happy and that you get what you need. My sombrero off to instructors Glenn, Larry and Angel. Phenomenal people that made my experience one of the finest in my entire life.

Mark Hash

The course is structured to get one comfortable handling a motorcycle for novices and to learn the basics of motorcycle safety. Angel and Larry are great. They are very patient and attentive. I highly recommend this course, even if one is a more experienced rider.

Juashua Villarejos

Glad I took this course. I learned a lot from the MSF book but Clint's stories and advice were just as important in learning how to ride and be safe once I got out on the road. The instructor (I think his name was George) was nice and helpful too when it came to riding portion of the course. I am happy with my experience and glad I took the course. When I am riding I constantly rely on the teachings I learned at this course to stay safe and be prepared for whatever gets thrown at me out on the road.

Mr. Austin is an incredible teacher, the whole experience was phenomenal from the classroom to the bikes everything was extremely fun and informative, he taught me how to operate a motorcycle coming from an absolute zero background with motorcycles or manual transmission anything! I highly recommend anyone that wants to learn to go here to learn 10/10!

Matthew Vicari

Went to Wide Open Wednesday and rented a Ninja 300. Clint Austin is super friendly and helpful. It was my first time riding on a track, and he helped me out a lot by giving me a lot of useful advice and even riding in front of me and showing me good lines to take. Wide Open Wednesday is a great place to start if you want to ride on a track!

The class is structured in a way that allows you to learn a lot in a short amount of time. It was a lot of fun, as well. The instructors were top notch.

David vanSchalkwijk

I had never driven a manual or ridden anything larger than a 50cc moped before when I took the MSF course with Clint. Clint watched everyone closely and was very patient with explaining concepts such as the clutch, friction zone and counterweighting to me; even though it took me more than a day to really get it he kept explaining it to me in different ways and even let me practice on the bike for more than an hour extra after the first day's class ended. Between repetitions of each exercise he would stop riders who were having trouble and give them tips on how to improve. By the end of the class I was able to pass the MSF test and Clint led us on a few laps around the track as well so that we could get a sense of highway speed and how to take turns at freeway speed as well. Definitely recommend NOLA Riding Academy to anyone who wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Nicholas Martin

NOLA Riding Academy should get 6 stars. Clint Austin runs a first class operation that trains motorcyclists and is keeping bike culture alive at NOLA motorsports park. He is an avid rider himself and his dedication to the sport is commendable. I fully recommend him and his instructors if you need your MSF course and motorcycle endorsement. And his track days are well organized and an excellent way to safetly explore the limits of your motorcycle.
