Reviews of TEAM Arizona Motorcycle Rider Training Centers - East Valley
Jay Whitmire
TEAM Arizona was phenomenal. What a great facility, coach, and setting to learn from scratch how to ride. Coach Sean provided awesome feedback and coaching every step of the way. Encouraging all of us and helping us all improve our skills and learn how to self coach. Thank you. I'd highly recommend this program if you are a beginner like myself or want to improve your skills.
Brian Murray
I really had a great time learning how to safely operate several types of motorcycles while earning my endorsement for AZ. All of the coaches we met, but especially Merlo & Kevin Flynn, were so professional and skilled, while still humble and fun-loving! I highly recommend Team AZ for anyone looking to earn their endorsement, improve their skills, or learn how to be an informed co-rider. You will learn, and develop skills, while having a good time and meeting great people! Even our young female riders with no previous experience were able to safely learn & enjoy the 2 day class! If you're thinking about it, stop thinking... sign up, TODAY! Classes fill up FAST!

As a beginner rider I cannot recommend this place enough! James and Tony were my coaches this past weekend James was high energy and super informative and really answered any and all questions and went above and beyond. Tony was the range coach and showed us so many amazing skills and these two really were an amazing pair. My whole class passed both written and ridding. I would highly recommend doing a class that does the ridding first as it really just makes the class room part way easier having done the skills physically first. Also I was told by Ridenow that I would get a 349 dollar credit towards safety gear after passing this test and we did get that but Ridenow left out the part where you have to buy a bike from them to get that credit. So just a heads up has nothing to do with Team Arizona just wanted to mention that. One thing I loved is that both my coaches rode their bikes to work daily and had them parked at the range. just shows how they really are about the bike lifestyle and it just made me trust them even more! Please note the MSF course the fastest I went was 25mph and in second gear. So you will have to practice on your own to get street ready but.. this course is meant to take any skill level and give them a solid foundation to build on. I plan on taking many more courses and My interactions with James and Tony truly made me so happy to be on two wheels!
Cody Hughes
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! This place was great! James and Nick were my instructors, and they were remarkable. James kept it light and fun in the classroom, he was hilarious! Also shared some stories from his personal riding experience, to help us really understand the potential dangers that are really out there. I really appreciate how dedicated James is to riding, but riding safely. So thanks James, hope to see ya out there one day on Elliot!..When we hit the course we met our instructor Nick. Nick was just as equally awesome as James. He made us very comfortable on the course. At one point I got so flustered, and it was Nick who kinda calmed me down, and helped me get out of my head. So a big big thanks man! And also a huge thanks to Team Arizona for having these courses available. The knowledge from this course is phenomenal! Hasselhoff out!

Writing this review with a big grin on my face. A few weeks back I took the intro course with Chris and I forget the other guys name, but anyways that was a good primer to convince me that I wanted to ride.
Fast forward to this weekend I took the basic rider course with Eli and Bailey. They both taught very well and made me feel comfortable riding a motorcycle.
This leads up today to me riding my first motorcycle from the dealership to home and I felt I was adequately prepared to do so. So glad I came here and will be rolling in on my Vulcan in the future to take the confident rider course. Thanks Team AZ!!
Karen Heinle
I just finished the endorsement course and it was really fun and educational. I came in having zero experience riding and left with the knowledge and experience needed to get started riding safely. Sean and Eli were very helpful with their instructions and helped me feel more confident and safe on the bike. Definitely recommend this course whether you have experience or not. Thanks again!
Erin Van Curen
My husband and I took the TEAM Arizona Motorcycle class in Glendale and had an AMAZING time! This was my first time ever getting on a bike or riding and both Joe and Randy made the course fun as well instructing all us riders on how to maneuver the bike, ride, safety and the basic for being a rider. They both are great riders and I really had a great 2 days of learning and getting to feel super comfortable on my bike. They had great tips on improving when I needed more help and encouraging when I needed to try something a second time. They also let you know how well you did and what was key in being a good and safe rider. I will definitely be taking more courses and would recommend the class and these 2 guys to anyone looking to ride. Thanks for an awesome weekend!!
Michael Babiuch
Highly recommended for all rider experience levels! The Basic Riders Course breaks down the basic skills that are paramount in riding a motorcycle in a fun, safe and educational manner. I've been riding on and off for 25 years and I have absolutely no regrets in attending this course. James was excellent at teaching the classroom material. Robert and Nick taught the range course in a way that made 6 hrs go by in the blink of an eye. All bikes are in great condition and the course is clearly marked and easy to understand. Don't miss out the opportunity to better yourself as rider!
craig arnold
I had a great experience with my riding coaches Beth and Patrick. They did an excellent job of training and explaining things to us. I also would like to give a huge shout out to James our classroom instructor he explained things to us in great detail. He also did an excellent job interacting with everyone in the room especially with his own stories about riding. I would also like to thank Alexis very much for rescheduling me so fast after a family situation that I couldn’t take the test originally. I will recommend this business to anybody I know with confidence.

Completed the Can-AM course this weekend was absolutely awesome! Jim made the class extremely enjoyable and his attitude of let's have fun really took the stress off. Thanks TEAM Arizona you guys rock. I can't wait to purchase my new Ryker!
Boaz Patton
TEAM Arizona was awesome and I learned so much, even after years of riding! Coach James was the man, not only did he help you learn but was there to make sure everyone had fun! Him being by your side kept you from being intimidated by anything, also just saying, north side is the best side, And full of winners!
Patrick Roland
My daughter and I were able to attend Team Arizona's Advanced Rider Course, today. This course is awesome. I would recommend this course to any one wanting to up their motorcycle skills. Andrea and Craig were our coaches. Not only are they 2 wheel geniuses, they are 2 of the top coaches around. They are able to articulate the skill sets to multiple levels of rider comprehension. Looking forward to taking this course with my son, in the future.
Kaitlin Cameron
I took the Basic Rider Course with Sean Kelly as both the riding course instructor and classroom instructor. My experience in this course was almost entirely due to how patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging Sean was throughout the entire training.
As someone who has only rode on the back of a motorcycle, I was a bit nervous to change roles as the driver, but the pace of the course gradually introduces you to the bike, and the transition in terms of moving from one skill to the next felt comfortable.
The exercises on the road course prepare you for the driving test so none of the test exercises came as a surprise.
Overall, I had a great experience with Sean at Team Arizona and recommend anyone wanting to learn to ride a motorcycle, or even practice safe riding habits if you already have some bike basics, to take this class.
Thank you, Sean!!
Stephen Watson
Sean and Brian were excellent instructors. Sean ran a smooth and efficient course in the classroom allowing us breaks at a good rate and gave us an hour for lunch. Then out on the track Sean teamed up with Brian and they ran a safe roadway with great results. Everyone passed. Nobody got hurt. And only I laid a bike down... Which is kinda my thing and why I took the course. This course helped me a lot with acknowledging that I may indeed be crazier than I am skilled! Thanks Guys... And thanks for letting me use your bike!
Robby Rachel
What can I say, as a first time rider and owner of a 04 GsxR600💚 with no experience. I already feel like a better rider then I was 48hrs ago. A lot of knowledge is slammed on ya in 48hrs but my guy James is here to hold it down. I really like how he took info and situations in the book and related them to his real life experience(s) and things he saw. I definitely felt a "rider" connection with James. I can say there wasn't a question unanswered in our two day class. James, you really the man bro. But James, you know I gotta give ALL the glory to my guy Chris and the South side track aha. The thing I felt I really struggled with on day one were those low speed 90º turns. Each time I asked Chris about the counter balance or me even barely falling off. He gave me great advice. I mean it was simple and straightforward buhh he ain't give up on me. Even toady when I told him I was having trouble. He showed me a few gestures(shoulder movement/placement) to do on the bike and that really helped me more then he knows. I said it once and I'll say it again. Chris I really appreciate you more than you know my guy 💪🏾. I plan on coming back for the next rider course too👍🏾. 🌵🦂Big thank you, Team Arizona🦂🌵

Jan Niemi
Excellent class. Instructors Sean and Heath (or Keith sorry my man.. I’m bad with names 😉) provided world class instruction. Also had a great time and truly enjoyed myself. I feel a lot more confident now and Sean’s information on safe riding strategies is what I was looking for. 2 big thumbs up for these guys and the facility. Put my son through the course a couple of months ago and he inspired me to do it myself so that we can ride together.
Casey VanVleet
I’m not one to leave a ton of reviews, but I really wanted to write about my experience at TEAM Arizona Motorcycle Riding’s beginners course.
I have just a little experience riding. I had purchased a bike 8 years ago and tried to self teach myself. I was never confident in my ability to be defensive on major streets. I eventually moved and the bike just sat until we sold it. So recently I decided to take this class and I am SO glad that I did.
Sean and Ryan did an amazing job coaching our group through riding basics for. Beginning to end. The classroom time and coursework was focused and super helpful. I felt prepared to tackle the written test.
The road training was also awesome. They are so patient and understand that we’re all from different levels and walks of life. They don’t rush anyone past their comfort level, but also help you build confidence to work through the course. They never focused on what I did wrong, but provided constructive feedback that helped me the next time around.
I feel absolutely great leaving this course. I am excited to purchase a bike and practice so I can take some of the more advanced courses too!
Thank you so much to Sean and Ryan and the rest of TEAM Arizona Motorcycle Riding for putting together such a fantastic program!
Vlademir DeWys
Great place and people. I had no prior riding experience before my class. I left feeling very confident with my motorcycle license. Instructors (James & Alexis) were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their craft. I will certainly be back to take their more advanced courses. If you're thinking of starting to ride motorcycles, start here.
Joshua Briese
Thank you TEAM AZ Motorcycle Rider Training Centers! I had a little bit of experience riding from friends and family growing up and I quickly learned that I didn't learn what I needed to from my previous experiences. The basic rider course was absolutely amazing. Our instructor Sean was great, kind, and very knowledgable from his previous experiences and training. We also had a field coach, Brian, who was also amazing and super fun to work with. Both coaches were very informative and answer every question I had as well as all of my classmates. I feel very confident now entering the AZ roadways on a motorcycle. I highly recommend this course as a way to learn safety, basic maneuvering skills, and get your endorsement. A huge thank you to Sean and Brian!
Ashley Spaulding
As someone who always rode passenger, I decided it was time for me to get my own motorcycle to help with increasing gas prices. I chose to ride a scooter as that is what I planned on riding outside the course. The instructors were very thorough and helpful. They gave tips and tricks and helpful suggestions to not only build my confidence but to help me know what my weaknesses and strengths are so that I can work on them or utilize them better. I absolutely recommend taking the basic rider course if you want to start riding a motorcycle. I couldn’t have passed my test without them.
Katie Wilkins
I can't recommend them enough! If you want to ride a motorcycle, these guys will help you realize that goal. Sean and Brian are especially helpful in teaching you all the skills you need to know and encouraging you through the learning process. They made me feel more confident in 2 days than I thought was possible. Even if you know how to ride already, do yourself a favor and take one of the advanced courses here. They have courses for every skill level.
Sydni Overall
The riding coaches were AMAZING!! Very clear on instructing, willing to be patient and go through the courses more than once if need be, provided great feedback and coaching advice. The class instructor was just as phenomenal. Thank you guys for all the feedback and confidence provided.
Robbie 1
Took the BRC on 27 September 2022. I have never rode a motorcycle before. They have motorcycles for anyone of any size, they give you safety handbooks for you to take home and you get your MSF safety card upon completion of the BRC to take to the MVD/DMV to get your endorsement, simple as that.
The course was very informative and the instructors were very patient and encouraging. I didn't think I would pass my first time, but instructors Sean and Keith (they work in pairs) were simply the best, they made me feel safe while also building my confidence. When I had trouble with a subject, they introduced the topic or maneuver in a different way that I could understand. I end up passing the course with flying colors! If you take this course at this location, ASK FOR SEAN & KEITH. Cheers!
Paige Saye
Great experience Sean was an amazing teacher and was very thorough. I had no experience at all on a bike and after training with Sean and Bill I feel like I have a lot of knowledge. Thank you so much!
Frank Schumacher
I finally took the BRC course with Sean and James at the Gilbert location and all I can say is that they are both amazing in what they do in regards to teaching and instructing how to properly understand the fundamentals of riding a motorcycle. As an individual who has been riding for a long time, taking this course enhanced my skills to a level I couldn't even imagine. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to start their motorcycle riding career or to even those advanced riders looking to perfect their skills!! Thank you again Sean and James!!!
Top Tanti
AMAZING instructors and class! Wife and I attended the 2-day course over the weekend and had a blast! Instructors were very helpful and patient. I would highly recommend taking this class! Andrea, Patrick, and Keith (instructors) are top notch coaches!
Keenya Dansby
I've never riden a motorcycle or even been a passenger. The Basic Rider's Course gave me the confidence to begin riding on my on. Mr. Sean and Mr. Mark are awesome coaches, they're extremely knowledgeable, experienced but most of all very patient. I needed extra guidance from them so they took the time to help me and I greatly appreciate it. You need to take this course!
BertMartinez. Com
Sean and Ryan were outstanding instructors. They made the 2 days fun and easy, definitely recommend these guys!
Su Ling Heydrich Schneider
I just want to thank TEAM Arizona for providing such an awesome learning tool to anyone wanting to dive into the motorcycle world.
The Husband and I took the basic motorcycle riders course 11/28-11/29 at Buddy Stubbs HD. The course was easy to understand, not intimidating in any way. Logical, step-by-step solid progression presented in a way that teaches sound motorcycle skills practice and emphasis on safety first and foremost.
Our classroom instructor & range master Jon P. is THE GO TO GUY! I cannot say enough good things about him. He is a gem to your program. His ability to correctly read his students and adjust to each one to bring out their best abilities was spot on and in addition, he provided awesome encouragement to the whole group. Those who had zero experience were encouraged to believe that they had the ability to do this, it existed within them and all they had to do was follow instruction and they did! You can tell he loves what he does and he does it so well. Even his demonstrations are perfection but not overwhelming at the same time. Attainable for everyone willing to listen and try!
Thank you for a great experience! I will be recommending this course to anyone who wants to learn how to ride.
Tia Cummins
Sean and Beth were the best! Both were very laid back, didn’t huge you a hard time if you messed up, gave pointers when needed. They really are the best team. I appreciated they both explaining their extensive motorcycle history; gave me confidence coming from a limited motorcycle history. Highly recommend this program and these two instructors.
Dan Mendez
Wanted to give a special thanks to Sean for all the support and training given these past couple days !! It’s really felt like you guys actually cared about my safety and it means a lot ! Thank you Brian for all the help and guidance. I’ve rode a few times and really wish I would of taken this class before ever hoping on a motorcycle. I learned so many things that are going to help me stay alive ! Thank you so much. I Highly recommend ANYONE getting a bike to ask for these two gentlemen. You won’t be disappointed and you will feel much more confident riding safely. Thanks again ! See you on the next course, Safe travels gents.

The basic rider course is an awesome course for beginners all the way through veteran riders. I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend our entire group passed with flying colors it was an awesome group. Couldn’t say enough good things about the instructors they did an awesome job.
James Cheney
I would 100% recommend before getting on a motorcycle for the street and getting an endorsement!
I had coach Sean in the classroom and Coaches Sean and Ryan on the 'range' for the practical skills. They were professional and knowledgeable and were able to work with folks of all skill levels, from never having been on a motorcycle, to those who picked things up fairly quickly.
I have some trail motorcycle riding experience from childhood, and I'm currently a mountain biker, so some of those skills translated, and I was amazed how much I learned from just a couple days of classroom and range time.
The training has made me much more thoughtful in my role as a rider on the street and the risks and fun that motorcycling on the road entails.
Do it! If you're on the fence, do it!
Thanks to TEAM AZ, hopefully I'll be back for more moto skills training once I get my own bike.

Sean and Beth were great and really patient. They took their time explaining everything and always calmly informed us if we made a mistake.
Coming from riding a scooter in Taiwan, I was only vaguely familiar with riding a true motorbike. After listening to their instructions both on and off the range I ended up passing with perfect marks. The nervousness was nonexistent with this two instructors and I highly recommend taking this course. I learned a lot!
Brandon Humphreys
Couldn't recommend this course more for anyone new to riding or looking to create a good foundation of skills to build off of. I, being a natural born winner, was part of the #Northside. Meaning my instructors were James and Nick, who both were phenomenal at their jobs and the passion they have for riding motorcycles really shown through. I had zero experience before this course and had a bit of anxiety going into this, especially after finding out we started on the range right away. This was all unjustified as James and Nick made sure we had everything at our disposal we needed to be successful in each of the exercises. The camaraderie and banter made the experience that much better, wish I would have done this sooner!
Carlos Garza
Great pair of coaches. Brian and Paul worked well together which helped make the learning environment more relaxed. It was easy to tell they thoroughly enjoyed and were passionate about what they doing. Even though it was a group session, you still felt like you were getting enough one on one time.
Shawn Wheeler
I took the confident rider course yesterday. Great course, great coaches. I live in Peoria, and it was worth the ride in the ran to Gilbert. Bill and Robert were great, they explained what I could change in my riding to make me better!
If you don’t think a course like this is for you? Think about this, anyone can ride in a line. Can you get out of the way when you need to and keep the bike up? Do you make three trips around the gas station to get enough room to pull in? Can you turn your bike around without stopping and backing it up?
And even if you are pretty good at close quarters riding, there is always room for improvement.
Thanks TEAM Az.
nickrecker1
I spent the last $380 I had on this class. And IT WAS WORTH EVERY DOLLAH. I used to "ride" with a scooter years ago and when I bought my first cruiser last week, I was so cool for about a minute with Judas Priest' Turbo Lover going in my earpods. Then I dumped it at the stop sign. So I went in to this course pretty nervous and worried about where my money just went and if riding was for me. Rest assured friend, TEAM with instructors like Sean and Beth are here for you. They worked with every member of our class, and taught the lessons needed to ensure that we have a foundation to grow on in our never ending riding adventure. It's pretty hard doing this from my phone I can't see the whole paragraph. The only thing I'd recommend is maybe a victory lap with everyone at a safe distance from each other. So in conclusion, totally worth the money. Just do it and help make the streets safer.
Elijah West
The most fun weekend ever, Both Joe and James are fenominal instructors. They were clear on instruction on the coarse and in the classroom and helping everyone in areas they needed help with. NORTH SIDE ! p.s pigeons arent real.
Trudy Thorsen
If your wanting to learn how to ride, this is the place you want to go to. My instructor was Jim and there is no words that would do justice for this man. He is so funny and made all of us feel comfortable and at ease. His knowledge and stories are amazing. Trust me this is the best place to learn.
Marko Jojic
Great riding school, James and Alexis were great coaches on the range and James did a great job making the class interesting. Definitely would recommend this course to any new riders, especially those with no prior experience on a bike.
Edward Brown
James and Matty were the best trainers I could have asked fro. It has been over 35 years since I have been on a bike and the experience was 5 stars. I highly recommend everyone even if you have road for many years to take this course you will learn something.
Art farmer
I’m a self taught motorist that hadn’t ridden in twenty five years, I thoroughly enjoyed this course.
I learnt things that I didn’t know.
These coaches know their stuff
Awesome people!
I want to ride as safely as possible, I will be coming back with my own bike to continue to learn.
Thank you Team Arizona!!
M Jackson
What a great way to learn to ride!
Inside classroom material was relevant, interesting and fun. Didn't feel like highschool.
The practical coaching on the bike was fun and safe. James kept it lite and productive. Curtis, well Curtis knows what he did.
Good combination of instructors.
#southside is where the magic happens.

For a first time rider this was a great experience. I have never been on a bike and I'm glad i took the course. Sean and Keith were awesome, very helpful. I was the only female in the class which was intimidating but they made me feel confident in myself.
Bird Athena
Everyone who wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle should come to This place. The instructors are fantastic, especially Brain and Ally. They are not only very professional but also very patient, detailed, and very polite in teaching each student. I strongly recommend this place to everyone who wants to become a rider.
Jonathan Sanderson
I have zero motorcycle or scooter experience at all. Going to this class was my first time riding a motorcycle. I have already bought a maxi scooter but wanted to learn a motorcycle in case I wanted to upgrade in the future. So took the in classroom with Eli and the outside class part with Joe. Joe was very patient with me being a novice rider. I passed the riding and written first try with only 2 days of experience and could not have done it without these two guys. Thanks to them both and would highly suggest these two teachers.
Steve Boyle
Returning to riding after many years off the bike. This was an excellent course presented by a fine instructor, Sean Kelly. The course provided lots of on the bike instruction combined key information in the classroom setting. Sean was very positive and encouraging to everyone in the group throughout the 2 day course.
James Hutton
Even though I did not pass my rider course the instruction I received was top notch along with the instructors. They are also giving me a free chance to retest within 30 days to acquire my motorcycle license. I highly recommend TEAM Arizona to anyone who is attempting to learn how to ride. Through them I wrote a motorcycle for the first time in my life. Let the adventure continue.
Ricardo Richey-Sotelo
I had an amazing experience here, it was great to have instructors who knew exactly when to joke and when to get serious. Joe and Jason where a great pair of instructors who help you gain confidence driving while teaching you the proper ways to fix yourself. I’d definitely come back to face confident rider course later on. #$outh$ide gang. North side beeps too much.
Sydney Trickel
Absolutely wonderful team to work with a beginner like me! Each day I pushed my limits and achieved a new level confidence I didn’t know was possible! Thank you Chris and Nick again for being incredibly patient and pretty cool instructors.
Jackie Hill
Way better than I expected! I will definatly recommend this course to anyone interesting in getting started riding motorcycles. Coaches were fun, informative, patient, and genuanly want to see you succeed. James, Nick, Gary and Joe, THANK YOU! #south side rules.
Rik Prince
I had a great time at the Gilbert facility! Joe and Earl (I think that was their names..) were very friendly and helpful. Gave good advice and let everyone go at their own pace. I am looking forward to attending more courses in the future. A+
Christopher Rihm
Loved it. Instructors and material were great. Loved the driving parts. It was physically hard and a little mentally demanding but worth the experience and training. Probably will go back for advanced training to get better after the BRC.
Rob S
1. I Had an amazing time. 🙌
2. Learned what I needed and so much more.
3. Instructors were on point and and very good teachers.
4. SouthSide!!!! Shot out to Nick and Gary! Gary especially calmed me down on the figure 8 test. Great instruction and insight from James in the lectures.
5. I will be back for advanced training.
Chasity Russell
I officially have my endorsement! Thank you for all your patience while teaching me!
Erik, Bob and Jon!!! You guys are awesome!!
Prescott Valley location
Manish
It was exceptional and engaging all the way with a FULL classroom, covered by good content and enhanced with valuable experience sharing by Sean…. followed by a variety of on-the-road driving managed by Sean and Ryan to help me with the fundamentals. Thanks Sean and Ryan for nuturing the love for motorbikes, sharing the wisdom … with empathy to help me be better on the road.
Sara Elise Overmyer
Really impressed by this course! Both fun and practical. The instructors did a great job and I left feeling more confident in my skills. I really think it is worth the time and money.
Larry Vaughn
North side rules!!! Riding coaches james and Joe were amazing made everything super easy to learn. I had a blast learning from them both. Would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn how to ride
Carla Boyle
I was apprehensive about this class. Often “beginning” level is a refresher course, and the true beginners are pushed to the sideline.
Coach Sean demonstrated professionalism and was able individually differentiate instruction.
My confidence grew, I felt I belonged, and I CAN RIDE A MOTORCYCLE!
Joanna Cox
I had a great time learning to ride, and when I didn't pass the Riding course, they worked with me so I would pass the 2nd time around a few days later. They even suggested some extra courses I can take to get my skills even better (some of which I can use my own bike for).
Jayh Edits
TEAM Arizona is Great! For me being 19y/o with a decent amount of experience, Sean and Keith really helped me become a better rider! Great Guys! Definitely worth going through the Class!
Bob Nisenson
Excellent rider training course. Very professional and the coaches made it a fun experience. I would highly recommend this course for new riders, and for experienced riders alike
Ben Moss
Great class with excellent instructors. Joe and Ally provided the feedback and knowledge necessary to be confident in my riding after completion of the BRC course.
Kacie Turley
All of the instructors were patient and respectful. Made my first time getting on a bike very enjoyable! Highly recommend!

Amazing time at Team Arizona in Gilbert. Had Jim and James as instructors. Both are eager and willing to share with you a wealth of knowledge, pay attention and you’ll learn a lot even if you think you know it all already.
My favorite part was the friction zone, learning how to creep your bike. Second favorite was their critique of speed/breaking distance, they stressed it more than anything and it is probably the #1 lesson that will save your life.
If you take the course I’d recommend these two fellas. Jim sounds like Casey Kasem (Shaggy from Scooby-Doo) and is a riot, he’s also a badass rider. Both guys are fun and have a sense of humor while simultaneously being all business. “Your safety is your responsibility, nobody else cares.” That is a quote that will stick with me forever, thanks for that James. Do yourself a favor and take the course, it will absolutely save your life (more than once). Thank you both.

Had Sean and James as my coaches, phenomenal dudes; very professional, friendly, and down to earth. If they don’t like ya, they don’t make it obvious lol. Had a great time and learned a lot. Definitely will be back for the more advanced courses :)
Aaron Rasch
Incredible experience, the range coach Joe was awesome and promised to be our best friend if we left a review so now we are best friends. If your looking for a place to start the riding journey this is it!
J Garcia
I Attended the Basic Rider course. And had a great session. Our Couch Joe Correa comes with years of experience,and it shows. He knew my strengths and weaknesses before I need to tell him. Gave me couching on my weaknesses and Good feedback on my strengths. Highly recommend 10/10 ign. Thx Joe
Preston Welker
Sean and Beth were absolutely outstanding!! I learned a lot in 2 days even though I already knew how to ride it improved my skills tremendously! Highly recommend!!
Sandra Calderon
Worth every dime. I learned things I didn't know by taking this motorcycle course. They are very patient especially with new riders. I recommend this to any new or old motorcycle rider. They also have advanced courses for the very experienced.
Jason Barron
Knowledge is power, Garented you will take something away from this class if not a handful of riding tips and techniques you probably didn't know. Great corse, I had fun.
Bill Widmer
Greg and the crew were amazing. Fantastic course. Learned a lot more than I expected and the insurance savings will pay for the course anyway. Highly recommend!
Austin Hobson
Sean and Keith are incredible. Patient, funny and willing to share their years of experience. I would highly recommend taking their many courses to improve your skills.
Alben John
Sean and Keith are awesome and very friendly! Class was really helpful and develops your skill on a bike gradually.
KAZZ MAN
Excellent instructors at this location, would recommend everyone to take this course before riding a motorcycle. They help you encourage you and make you feel confident riding.
Antonio Montana
Great experience with Basic Rider Course. Knowledgeable instructors and good pace. I never rode a motorcycle and was feeling very confident on day 2. Passed the riding and written test. Great experience.
Bikes are 125-250 cc cruisers, sport bikes, and dirt bikes. Easy to control for new riders and get your confidence up. Instructors are experienced and very patient with helping the new riders out with tips and suggestions. A lot of great information both on the course and in the classroom.
Kirsten Bates
Sean and Keith were very knowledgeable, friendly, and made me feel capable and comfortable as a new rider! I’d recommend Team AZ to anyone!
Crvsh Bvndo
There is no better place than this if you're looking to learn how to ride or perfect your skills. I promise no matter your skill level, there is something you can gain by attending a class here. Amazing instructors. Andrea Johnson was awesome!
Jaremy Creechley
Team Arizona was great. Sean and Jordan were patient and experienced coaches. Sean made the course material approachable. Thanks guys!
Niranjan Jagannath
A good place for beginner riders as they let us practice a lot of exercises at a palatable pace.
They offer a handful of courses for experienced riders too, which lets us practice useful skills in a controlled environment. Both the riding coaching and classroom coaching were informative and fun.
Nikolas Hoyt
Our coaches Sean & Andy were incredibly helpful in teaching us the fundamentals of riding. They included safety tips from their own experience being patrol officers as well as their own riding experience. Sean went out of his way multiple times to ensure the entire class was up to speed, and knowledgeable on necessary aspects of riding. Sean & Andy even challenged the more experienced riders to explore more/different techniques to gain the most out of the course.
I highly recommend this course at the East Valley Training Center for it's focus on safety, efficacy, and overall fun! Sean and Andy were both very memorable for their teaching ability, but also their humor. Now every time I am behind the wheel of my car I replay the safety tips taught by Sean and Andy - Presentation and speed were some of the biggest takeaways. They drilled that into us with fervor!
Seth Rawson
I was very nervous going into the training but as soon as we started the lessons I was put at ease. I had the instructors James and Beth and they were both very kind and had a sense of humor which was super nice. They taught A LOT about not only riding a motorcycle but also how to drive around motorcycles. It really opened my eyes on how important it is to be seen on the road. Super fun course and once again James and Beth were great I cant recommend it enough!
patty bearup
I took this course 15 years ago and received my endorsement but never did anything with it. I recently purchased a motorcycle for myself and tried refreshing my riding skills on my own in the parking lot near my home but was still super unsure of myself. So, I signed up to take the course again at Team Arizona. The instructors were so patient and helpful through the entire course. And I left feeling pretty confident. I recommend this facility to anyone interested in riding. Alexis, Scott and James were awesome!!
Lewis Geosolo
I have such a wonderful experience taking this course! I was a wreck! my knees, legs and neck where stiff of nervousness! The instructor’s are so kind and genuinely helpful in making me feel relax and learn to ride a motorcycle. If you are a beginner or never had any experience riding a motorcycle this is the place for you. I highly recommend this training facility and it’s instructors. I can assure you that It will be one of the most productive weekends you will have in your life. If you plan to ride a motorcycle please attend this class. If will be safer for you and the rest of the riding public.
Meredith MacKay
It was amazing. Honestly, I was hesitant to go and was really only there because learning to ride a motorcycle was my husbands bucket list item. I was nervous and didn’t think I’d ever actually be comfortable riding a motorcycle.
Sean and Beth were FABULOUS instructors. Sean was exactly the right personality to make me feel comfortable with the information in the classroom.
Beth and Sean were both excellent instructors out on the course and in the bike and before I knew it I was actually riding a motorcycle! Can’t recommend taking this course highly enough! Two very large thumbs up.
Ryan flores
This was really a great class. James was my classroom coach and he did a great job making sure we understood the information and he was pretty funny as well. Andy and Keith were my rider coaches and they really did a great job at showing us the proper skills and techniques when we were on the bikes. Very good experience, I would highly recommend team Arizona Gilbert location. South side rules!!
Michael McKenney
Paul and Curtis are exceptional coaches! I would highly suggest taking the confidence course with them. I did the class with a passenger and they made sure to provide a safe place for us to learn together. My wife was extremely scared to ride with me and this was the best place to do it. Team Arizona is #1 and very lucky to a Paul and Curtis. Highly recommended.
Sue Ney
I took the 3 wheel motorcycle class which Sean taught and it was a great class. I was the only person in the class who had never driven a motorcycle or a 3 wheel MC before so I was a bit nervous, but Sean was very personable and worked with all the students so we knew what we were each doing wrong. The class consisted of classroom work as we had to pass a written test, and Sean made the class very interesting. It was fast paced so didn’t get boring. Then there was the driving portion which was very fun. There was a brief driving test at the end. I would without hesitation recommend this class to anyone looking to get their 3W endorsement! Thanks Sean for being an exceptional teacher!
Bytwo Coffee
I had the privilege of taking the basic rider course at this location. The classroom instruction by James and on range instruction by Andy and Keith were really good. I truly appreciate their dedication. Our class had many folks who had never tried riding a motorcycle. By the end of the two day class not only did they comfortably do stuff like figure 8, swerving etc… they also passed their requirement and got the documents for the endorsement. I highly recommend attending this course if you are looking to get a motorcycle license soon.
Blake Letellier
I had a great experience with my rider course. Even coming in with years of prior dirt bike experience. I thought it would be a good idea to take this class so I can feel confident on the road and it absolutely helped me feel more prepared. Sean was a great teacher both in the classroom and on the course and Alexis was super clear and great at giving instructions! I’m glad I took this course and feel more confident now having done so.
Peter Woods
I had absolutely zero experience in riding motorcycles prior to taking the TEAM Arizona basic riders course. James and Jim were my main coaches; both were very knowledgeable, upbeat, and entertaining. They made for a relaxed learning environment and fun experience in learning to ride motorcycles. The course's two days went by very fast, and I learned lot. I have to thank both James and Jim for giving me the skills necessary to pass the knowledge/riding exams and getting my motorcycle endorsement. If you have little to no riding experience and are wanting to obtain your motorcycle endorsement on your license - look no further than TEAM Arizona.
Gaetano Greco
Absolutely fantastic instructors and experience. They were friendly and had a great sense of humor. I feel much better riding now that these professionals with a lot of knowledge and expierence have shown me what they know. Absolutely recommend this place If your a new rider or a veteran, this place will show you how to ride with confidence and safely.
Dan Nuccio
I just completed the basic ridercourse today and it was an awesome experience. My instructors were Sean and Robert and they were both awesome. The delivery of their coaching tips was great, instead of a "you need to be doing it like this" it was "try it like this". For me that made it feel more genuinely helpful rather than like you are being talked down to. I had some previous riding experience and they recognized that right away and gave me tips to improve and also challenged me a little bit. The classroom portion was a little bit slow in the beginning, but it eventually taught me things I likely wouldn't have considered otherwise. This was a great program for me to work towards getting my endorsement and I would definitely recommend it to anybody looking to do the same or even just to see if riding a motorcycle is something you'd like to do.
Aaron Memmott
Very highly recommend this course! I had zero riding experience and passed the written and skills tests with no problem at all. James and Ash are phenomenal coaches, gave great instruction and feedback and were very attentive to the needs of the class. Kept things lively and entertaining but also very helpful. Very much safety focused curriculum with the goal of forming good habits and strong fundamentals to keep yourself safe rather than relying on other drivers to pay attention and notice you. Awesome class #northside
Jason Jones
This class is LEGIT! Regardless of rider experience, TEAM Arizona has what you need for rider confidence and training. James, Brian, Andy, & Jim are the dream team! Professional and capable of making the info digestible. Special s/o to Coaches, your personal stories about riding is invaluable to relating to students. Keep doing what you do! I will definitely be back for more training.
Louwani Hick
I cannot be more pleased to have had my training at Team Arizona. My field instructors ( Ash & Patrick, and classroom instructor, I’m sorry I forgot your name” )
Were so informative, patient, and encouraging.
They not only teach you the necessary skills of motorcycle riding, but most importantly they instill in your brain that “this is no joke!” Riding is serious, one mistake can cause you severe injuries or worse, your life!!! And believe me when I say this. They never want to come across YOUR NAME I’m the obituaries.
I didn’t have much experience riding a motorcycle, but as of today (06/05/2022) I now have the necessary knowledge and skills to embark on riding, making my dream of riding a motorcycle a reality, with confidence, knowing I have structural training, to get out there and enjoy.
Thank you Team Arizona for making this possible.
Truly grateful.
Sharron Grzybowski
My husband and I took their 2-day Basic Rider Course. We were SO impressed with the class and staff.
Classroom - Sean K was our instructor for this portion. He was fantastic. He's a former motorcycle cop, so his real world experience was helpful in setting expectations for the new motorcyclists. He was professional, personable, and did a great job of trying to include everyone without forcing you to speak (I mean, who likes that?). We had 32 people in our class, which initially seemed like a lot but Sean handled us like a pro and the size of the class didn't get out of hand. Classroom is 3 hours each day (with a couple of breaks). Honestly, that three hours flew by with Sean.
Range time - Our instructors were Joe and Ally (and Seanna, who was in training). When you sign up, they ask for your height and if you have any experience and then when you get out there they do a good job of matching you with a bike that you can handle (honestly, this was my biggest fear - getting one of those GIGANTIC cruisers). I got a Honda Rebel, which suited me perfectly. The bike experience portion was laid out absolutely perfectly, you aren't expected to hop on and hit the throttle - you're taken slowly through the process, starting with just kind of wheeling back and forth to get a feel for it (which really helped me realize that the bike was the perfect fit for me). They made sure that everyone 'got' each exercise before moving on to the next one.
Both days were 5 hours on the range, with breaks. It was five LONG hours because you're working every bit of the time - either actually riding or intently listening to the next set of instructions. They made it fun, but I never for a minute felt it an unsafe kind of fun. We were exhausted at the end of both days (be sure to get a good night's sleep and drink lots of water, because there is a range test at the end of day two).
While the classroom size was 32, our range class size was much smaller - they broke us into three groups (12, 12, 8). I felt like we had a lot of individual attention (they even wrote our names on the front of the bikes so that they could address us by name, which was cool).
The bikes seemed well-maintained, no one seemed to have a problem with them, the staff even rides each before every class to make sure they're in perfect shape for us beginners!
My husband is a former paramedic and I used to work in the insurance industry - we both highly recommend you at least take this kind of course before you get on a motorcycle (many insurance company's offer a discount for successful completion). Team Arizona has more learning opportunities beyond the Basic Course, too. After day one of the class we decided we'd be pursuing the next class in a few months, after we get some experience under our belts.
Go online and book that class now! Thanks for reading my review.
richriemer1
I recently attended the Basic Rider Course with Tony and Sean at the Gilbert Facility. Excellent course! I have a lot of riding experience but went to the class with an open mind and hoping to learn. I did just that and I had a great time. My instructors were very passionate about what they do, they are encouraging and the way they go about the process helps builds confidence for new and old riders. It was a great experience and I will definitely be attending one of Team Arizona's more advanced classes in the future.
Angelo Fiore
Everyone I know who owns a bike told me to take the course. Glad I did! The guys at Gilbert Joe, ally, and seana were amazing and knew exactly what to say to help me understand what needed to be corrected :) don't be nervous! That's what tripped me up. I strongly recommend to take the course whether you have experience or not. (I was comfortable riding and had a bit of experience). Enjoy your course if you take it!!
Louis Groner
I took the beginner course cause I needed my endorsement as I already ride. If you’re in the same boat I would still recommend it however I’d say be patient. It’s mostly people that have never even sat on a bike before. James was great! Enthusiastic, encouraging, and helpful. Too everyone of all levels! He could use a haircut but don’t worry Tyler the assistant range coach has a mustache you’d have to pay to see!!!! Inside joke. He was amazing as well!!! I plan on going back with my bike to learn more as these guys are pretty badass on bikes and I found out quite quickly that I am not! Can’t wait to go back!
Side note. Everyone passed and got their endorsement.
John Lee
Highly recommend this place. I had an amazing experience. I did fail the rider portion of the class, but they gave me a voucher to retake the riding course exam again, and I passed it. Very professional and knowledgeable rider coaches. I will recommend this place to anyone. Curtis Olmsted was a great instructor, and for the retake Joe is the one that gave the class. Both great people.
Kimball Hansen
Great place to get your motorcycle endorsement and to learn good tips for improving your skills while riding. The instructors were very friendly and helpful. They were patient with all the students that showed a variety of skill level. The motorcycles they let us borrow were in very good condition and you can ride whichever one you want that fits. Definitely glad I went here.
Evan Bourret
Highly recommend Team AZ to anyone looking to get their motorcycle endorsement, obtain basic skills, or to even improve upon their existing skills. Even as an experienced rider, I can honestly say I took away a great deal from participating in the course. Sean was a great coach and very professional.
Liang Lu
Just passed course today!
My riding coach was Matty and Curtis, I have to say: they are the best coach partner!!!Matty has a good sense of humor, make me feel less stress. Curtis has a poke face, but he really watch what you doing and will give you best suggestion. Both of them give me a lot motivation, compliment, encouragement and thoughtfulness also lot of the motorcycle riding skill. If you hesitated about choosing which organization able to provide best motorcycle learning experience, I will say: Go TEAM Arizona Motorcycle!!! By the way althought I just passed course today, but I wanna ride a motorcycle so badly already!!!! Thanks again Coach Matty and Curtis!!!!
Clarisse Gardea
James and Joe were amazing riding coaches! They both gave lots of feedback and were succinct with the riding instructions.
James was also our classroom instructor and he was very knowledgeable and professional. Loved the experience. Northside!!
Austin Johnson
i’m 26 and this was the first time in my life I have ever ridden a motorcycle. I took the basic rider course with Bill S and Robert V.D, both were incredible coaches and helped me understand the core fundamentals of motorcycle riding and how to stay safe. They stayed calm and helpful through some of the more stressful exercises, encouraging the class to smile and have fun while we were learning. Both Robert and Bill did a great job of emphasizing the importance of life saving techniques, ensuring each class member could perform the techniques.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone that has an interest in riding motorcycles regardless of experience. I look forward to talking additional classes with Team Arizona.
Duane DePhillips
I highly recommend Team Arizona. The rider coaches are great, friendly and highly informative. I recommend Team Arizona and take the initiative for private lessons if needed. I am a safer rider since taking the necessary steps to achieve my motorcycle skills training.
Regan Voita
I took the Basic Rider Course with Bill and Robert and it was an awesome experience! It's a very friendly and encouraging environment to gain confidence on two wheels, and I learned a ton from the coaches. They were great instructors, and very passionate about riding. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learn the ropes of riding a motorcycle and get their endorsement.
Noah Dueker
As a complete noob and large/clumsy man, I was a little nervous about learning to ride. Thankfully, Coach James and Coach Ally were up to the task of teaching this gorilla how to ride! They were professional, entertaining, patient, encouraging and excellent at identifying poor technique and articulating the appropriate fix. I can't recommend this place enough. If you want to learn to ride, this is the place to go!
Tina Upstill
I took the BRC Class this last weekend and it was nothing less than amazing. The classroom instructor Robert was funny, he made sure you understood everything, went over everything and made the class a learning experience to remember. when we went out on the range, Curtis and Nick and Robert were amazing. They were patient, they knew what they were doing and they really made you feel comfortable, I would recommend this to any new beginner rider or anybody trying to get their endorsement. I'll definitely be going back for the next class on my own bike.
Rick L
Took the Basic Rider Course and had no prior experience. My instructors were Sean and Alexis and both had incredible skills on the course. Sean’s background as a motor cop made for some good insight and Alexis had ridiculous control of her bike every time and was super helpful in educating us all on what we needed to improve
Robert Robran
This was a great course! The staff was very professional and help me develop great foundation skills that I cant wait to practice on as soon as the new bike comes in. Robert and Nick where our ride instructors and did a excellent team that messed well with all the riders in our group.
Nick Henderson
Just completed the Basic Rider Course with James and Curtis over the weekend and have to say that it was absolutely one of the best well-structured courses I've ever taken, regardless of the fact that it's for people like myself who have literally never been on a motorcycle. Both instructors were more than helpful, professional, and cared that everyone in the class had everything that we needed in order to succeed. Day 1 in the classroom was packed full of knowledge while day 2 and 3 were full of sun, sweating, riding, and learning. Most of the course was done hands-on with the provided motorcycles, and the only time we were off them was when we were getting taught the next steps for the practice course we were about to take. Out of the 10hrs for the practical training I'm going to say probably ~7 of them were actually riding, and with a class of 9 people.
Excellent beginner course and highly recommend this place, just as it was recommended to me from a friend and long time rider.
Great work guys, stay safe out there!
Elizabeth A
All I can say is WOW!!! This was one of the most amazing training class. James Canning was an awesome instructor as me and my hubby went in for 3-wheel course. Not on was it fun and interactive on the course James made taking the exam a breeze with the classroom book work. Highly recommend for anyone and especially those curious but afraid I say go for it. But unsure James is your instructor.
marc figueroa
Great class full of information. James Canning did an excellent job as our instructor. Not only was he full of knowledge. He does a great job of keeping people positive while helping them learn from their mistakes. All while while keeping the mood light and fun which helped keep people from stressing out. I would highly recommend this place to any beginners hoping to learn the basics as well as more experienced riders looking to practice and take their riding skills to the next level and help keep them safe on the road.
Mel Ham
I had a very pleasant experience with TEAM Arizona in getting my motorcycle license! Kurt and Jon were excellent instructors and took the time to help us learn important riding skills and safety concepts. I would highly recommend TEAM Arizona for beginners and even advanced riders! They have many different course offerings and the instructors keep the class FUN! Thank you Team Arizona!
Fred Ryder
There are no words to said or enough STARS to be given for the two GREATEST instructors at Team Arizona ... JAMES and ALLY!!! NORTH SIDE!!! ;)
Their knowledge and teaching, from their personal experiences, is why I will be recommending this course to all my family and friends for years to come. Looking forward to continuing my training and raising my riding skill level at this facility.
Chuck Wood
What an awesome class. Ash and Patrick were our instructors. They were extremely patient with all the new riders. I would highly recommend anyone who has ever considered riding a motorcycle to take this class. Extremely helpful. I now have a Motorcycle license and the confidence I need to ride safely.
shaughn jamieson
Great coaches. I improved my riding skills and was able to notice each day of the training. Sean and Beth helped me become a better rider. I look forward to returning to attend an advanced course.
Travis Alexander
All instructors were great and you could see that they cared about the teaching others and for each other, There was a strong bond of friendship which made the whole experience better. My outside instructors were Earl and Gordon while James was our classroom instructor. They were all amazing but Earl was my favorite... Sorry James much like your ridding ability you were second place in teaching also. HAHAHAHA Lets Go South Side!!
Travis Fillmore
I have been wanting to get my motorcycle endorsement for a while. Found this place and took the class with my buddy. Class was really easy and fun. Instructors were pretty cool and casual. 2 day class a lot of hands on training which I like.
Dan Hill
Sean and Beth are amazing coaches. Their professionalism, expertise, and riding skills are amazing. The training they provided in baby steps had us becoming familiar with motorcycles and in no time zipping around the training course. Thank you for a fantastic learning experience.
Josh Martinez
Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn to ride and gain that knowledge & confidence to ride a motorcycle. Can't say enough about our instructors James and Curtis! Give those guys a raise man, they were awesome, out there in the 100° AZ heat having nothing but patience and constructive criticism for us learners. They were awesome teachers, blending fun and humor while also stressing the seriousness of each lesson and technique.
devin bates
Would highly recommend to anyone. Fun class and learned a lot. James and Shauna were the best at preparing us for future riding. Thanks for everything! Cheers!
Courtney Randolph
Had an awesome time at the introduction to motorcycling class. A lot of the other students made comments that they’re so glad something like this exists so we can see if riding motorcycles is for us before we dive into the longer course. The coaches Paul M and Merlo were super helpful and always gave feedback on the exercises. I’d never been on a motorcycle before and the class went at a perfect pace. I plan on coming back. Thanks!
Rinat Garaev
Team Arizona wonderful! Great experience. Coaches James and Robert are gorgeous!
jakobe burke
Amazing place to get knowledge if you’re a beginner rider. Highly recommend, Keith and Sean killed it and are super knowledgable along with friendly
Ken DeHart
Had an incredible CRC course on 7/29/22 with Bill and Robert. Can't say enough about the instructors and the school. Hadn't done much riding for over 20 years. Learned so much and find myself applying what I learned every time I go riding. I'll be back!
If your undecided, sign up for a class. you won't regret it.
raymond capizzano
Team Arizona is a professional place, There instructors/coaches
no what thee doing, They try to help you pass, I went to the Gilbert
location, The riding course they have is pretty big, In my opinion
the best Instructor/ coach is Tony, He was very professional and
knowledgeable! and it was a pleasure learning from him.
Thank you Team Arizona and Especially Tony.
Sarah Webster
Joe was a phenomenal instructor and made my time here enjoyable. He was professional when needed but also could have a good laugh when appropriate. 10/10 recommended
JGvideo
Excellent experience at a great price perfect for anyone who has little to no bike experience or even someone who rode in the past and wants to freshen up their skills to great basic fundamentals of riding in a safe controlled and professional environment, I can say I never had so much fun in a class or giving my money to team Arizona the experience was world class and absolutely amazing instructors James and ally made its phenomenal while being very helping with their guidance as if you were receiving your own 1 on 1 class. If I could give those organization and location specifically and Infinite amount of start I would!!! But the 5 will have to do to. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for any of their programs they offer. And class room instructed Robert was top notch as well! Ps make sure your part of the south side!
Brennen James
Just went about 2 weeks ago to do the endorsment course and i thought it was going to be a waste of time. BUT James and Brian were the trainers/ instructors and they were Extremely knowledgeable and helpful,not a waste of time or money. James was incredibly helpful and able to teach everyone something new that we haven't know even some veteran riders took the class and learned more than they thought they were going to.
Wulfgang Stone
Well structured and course with professional as well considerate instructors, James and Alexis were very thorough instructing with fine detail and demonstrations for different kind of learners
Amardeep Singh
Great place to get your motorcycle endorsement. My Instructor James & Robert were very friendly and helpful. They were patient with all the students that showed a variety of skill level.
Randy Rexford
I haven't ride in years but Paul the instructor at Gilbert said it would be easy to get back into it just take your time he was right. It all came back I would recommend this company to anyone.
Daniel Salas
James and Joe were amazing coaches. Both funny and very informative when they teached us!!
NORTH SIDE FTW!!!
Joseph Krzywoszyja
Andrea, Sean, and Patrick were all great instructors.the way the lesson plan is built you start in the yard at 6 am (nice and cool), then you go into class with the experience to more easily retain the information. Would definitely come back for higher level courses.
Horacio Cabadas
Amazing class. Sean and Jordan were super patient and excellent instruction. I would recommend the Gilbert location to everyone!
Aiden Schlauder
Great experience! Instructors are super friendly and the instructions are straight forward. Definitely coming back here.
Craig Bennett
If you want to learn to ride a motorcycle in a fantastic, safe, confidence building environment with great coaches TEAM Arizona is the place to go. Sean and Beth were our coaches and they were so great to work with. Highly recommend.
K V
Curtis is a phenomenal coach! Professional and very very wise. I cannot recommend this place enough for first time riders!
Andy is an excellent choice as well. Seriously great instructors here.
Anthony Veet
This was a very good class for a beginner rider. Our instructor Eli was thorough and very patient. I took a lot of good knowledge home with me after our two day course. I highly recommend going, even to someone that was self taught or taught by family or friends. The safety and knowledge is worth your time.
Jimmie Buchanan
James and Nick were a couple of the best instructors Ive ever learned from. They were both very skilled and easy to learn from. I was nervous but that changed quickly while working with them.
Northside rules
Lenin Arevalo
World class instructors!
They really give you the training that you need to get you started.
Curtis and james are amazing and they great to work with!
My friend and I both took the class and weee scared when we first started, But after a few days of riding and learning.
We left with 100% confidence about riding our motorcycle!
Thank you Team Arizona!
Jacob LaChapelle
Jim and James were very informative and entertaining, making it easier to learn they had to share. They made sure to stress the safety aspect as well as the fun. After multiple hours on their motorcycle I feel comfortable going out and getting my first motorcycle to start riding.
R Benz
Took this class this weekend and had class instructor David who kept it interesting and he was very knowledgeable. For the range portion I had instructor Curtis and Merlo who helped me feel comfortable. I was able to pass the course with 100% because they have the experience and knowledge to teach. I recommend this class and those instructors to everyone.
Colin Wood
James and Ash were great instructors. You can tell that they’re riders themselves and genuinely care about your safety. They’re not there just to give you an endorsement and show you the door… but if you’d prefer that route, just slip them a $20 and they won’t ask any questions.
Curtis Terrell
What an awesome experience Denise and I had with this two day course. Sean was awesome in every way you could tell he has passion for what he does. He really worked well with each one of us and the curriculum was made very easy to understand. He truly has a gift in doing what he does. Because of Seam we all excell across the board. I can truly say, job well done Sean
Christian Pasquale
Everything about my experience here was great. James and Ash are incredible at what they do, and do a great job making you feel safe and taken care of while you’re on the range, while also keeping it a ton of fun. Even in the classroom setting, James kept it very entertaining, and I left feeling like I’ve learned a ton. Very excited to keep practicing and improving my skills!
Stephanie Whittecar
I took my class this past weekend and every single one of the coaches are nothing short of phenomenal! If you've been on the fence about whether you can do it, scared you won't pass, have excuse after excuse, just do it!!! These guys all know what they're doing, they're super patient, and their knowledge is mind blowing!!! I would recommend to anyone just starting out, anyone needing to brush up on their skills, whatever your why is, JUST DO IT! Check out the AMSAF website for their scholarship and follow the instructions to save money!! Enjoy and be safe! Thank you Brian, Brad and James!! I truly appreciate you and will see you again when I come to take more classes!
DJ NavaTek
This is the best place for training; I have been riding for four years. These guys will help you improve your skills. Best place if you are a beginner, they are professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. They keep the training fun and lively; I look forward to continuing training with these guys. -Ask to be on the Southside, trust me.

I took the Basic Rider Course here. After learning how to ride a motorcycle in another country on my own, this course helped me recognize and correct some bad habits as well as got me back into something I love! Sean and Curtis were fantastic coaches and I am super happy that people like them are helping train safer drivers to make safer roads. If you are considering getting your motorcycle license, this is the way to go.
Keke
Sean and Keith were my coaches and they built my confidence so much. I was scared I wouldn’t be able to maneuver a bike but they taught me how to do it safely and have fun. Highly recommend you get this class if you want to learn how to ride it’s so worth it. Dream come true
Dan Cooper
Always wanted to get the motorcycle endorsement. Just reading through the testing requirement from the MVD had me nervous, I wasn't sure I could actually do this. My rider coaches, James and Chris , did an amazing job putting me at ease. Professional and encouraging. I can't wait to go back for the advanced classes.
Trenton Rothenberg
The BRC course at TEAM Arizona was awesome. Coach James and Coach Ally were awesome, and I had a great experience learning how to ride. Would definitely come back for more of the advanced courses.
Kathryn Schneider
This was a fantastic class and the coaches were very knowledgeable. I had the pleasure of having Ally and James. They were the BEST teachers and made this class enjoyable, fun and easy to learn. I would definitly recommend them for anyone wanting to learn or refresh their skills.
Kyle Sun
Fun beginner rider course. I didn't quite succeed the skill test, but that was from my own lack of experience and skill. The instructors were all friendly and knew what they were talking about. Chris especially was very encouraging all the way through and always made sure I was learning and having a good time. Will definitely be back to get my certification.
Jayleen Cole
Absolutely loved taking the BRC course. My instructors were James and Ash and I think they did a fantastic job of teaching our class the fundamentals of riding a motorcycle. I’m definitely going to look into taking more classes through team Arizona! Thank you very much James and Ash!
Lucy Mirando
This course is a GREAT idea for anyone looking to obtain a license. I learned waaaaaaay more than I ever would have on my own. Curtis and Tony were excellent coaches with very welcoming, positive attitudes. They were extremely knowledgeable, supportive, and most importantly - they have your back! So happy I made the decision to come here. Thank you guys so much!
Mattie jo Sedig
I just completed the basic riders course at buddy stubb's Harley davidson the coaches Brian, Seann, & Bill, where great. Each very knowledgeable and helpfull. I had a great time and learned alot. I recommend anyone wanting to learn to ride to take this course. I hope to see them sometime in another class.
RON H
Where to begin. I participated in this weekends BRC class 3/26-3/27 with Joe and Keith as my range coaches and John for classroom. Keith is a stand up guy, very personable and easy to talk to. He is very attentive and coaches extremely well. Joe was awesome and very funny, I’m pretty sure he’s my spirit animal. Both Joe and Keith kept the class fun and entertaining and really helped build confidence in the entire class. When mistakes were made they didn’t make you feel bad but built you up for the next pass. It was and awesome atmosphere to learn in. John, even though he was a north sider, taught the classroom portion well. As we all know classrooms can be boring and after a few hours in the sun last thing you want to do is sit in a boring class. Thankfully this was not the case. John kept the class fun and interesting and used real world examples. All in all you guys have a great team over there in Gilbert and I will recommend the BRC to friends and family.
PS
That black Suzuki is a solid bike. It held up well during class even though I looked like a bear on a tricycle.
Zaryun DePriest
Great coaches especially Alexis. She’s a great rider and was very helpful. As well as coach Sean they both were very knowledgeable and from never being on a bike I fell knowledgeable and ready to ride.
Daryn Russo
James and Ash were the best! Went through a really tough mental block my second day in the first exercise and they had my back the whole way through. They’re both awesome people and fun to have as instructors. Helped us all feel comfortable and great at correcting/teaching. Passed with flying colors, almost perfect score on driving test and only one incorrect answer on written. Highly recommend!!!
Andrew
Overall great experience. I had never been on a motorcycle until I entered the basic rider course. Joe and Curtis were both awesome instructors. Thinking about taking the next level course after I get some miles on my new bike!
There is something here for everyone, experienced or new.
Michelle Gomez
This was a BLAST!! I went in nervous and scared but Coach Bill was awesome! He was thorough, professional, knowledgeable and FUN!!! I have never been on a bike and never shifted gears instead of in a car so I thought for sure I would be a total failure. I wasn’t :). I highly recommend this place, this coach!!
Donna Shepherd
My instructor was Sean, retired law enforcement. Very personable, very detailed thorough instructions from the start. I really liked this guy, I learned
Many things about riding that I did not know. His expertise at teaching is phenomenal, definitely his forte.
In closing, I'm very glad that I took this
Course, and with his advice of practicing in near by neighborhoods before proceeding, Advice is taken seriously.
Thank you Team Arizona Motor and thank you Sean you're an exceptional man.

Drew Smith
The classroom portion was extremely informative and the instructor was attentive, knowledgeable and very dedicated. The riding portion on the first and second day was great. I haven’t had that much fun in years.
I recently purchased my own bike after taking this class and I can definitely say that the safety and emergency drills they put us through have been invaluable. I’ve used their emergency avoidance and stopping procedures a few times and their everyday riding techniques make the rides go much smoother.
I highly recommend TEAM Arizona for your motorcycle training team!
Jacob hesselgrave
Awesome experience Chris, Nick, and Brian were very helpful and awesome instructors would recommend this course to others!
travis myers
Awesome experience! James and Beth were incredible instructors. If you are a beginner rider this course is a no brainer. Absolutely worth the price of admission. Thanks TEAM Arizona!
James Altes
I signed up for their BRC to obtain my endorsement and "hopefully" walk (or rather, ride!) away with confidence in the training I'd received. I am especially ambitious to become a skilled rider, so it was imperative to me that I begin with a good foundation. I studied extensively before taking this course, so I was very well read into basic skills and slow speed skills by the time I arrived. I honestly expected to have far more trouble... Thanks to my couches Sean, Ashley, and Keith I know I've been set on the right path. let it be a testament to their program, as I am a clumsy little computer geek and had not once mounted a motorized bike in my 38 years. Not only were these endearing gentlemen professional and helpful, but they're patient and encouraging. I'd be delighted to ride with them sometime.
If you're considering obtaining your endorsement, I implore you to take a basic riding course. It is well worthy of the fee as you have a staff of fine coaches who provide ample resources to kickstart your adventures safely and enjoyably. The fee also covers your bike, equipment, and even your assessment. This is all to help you begin building critical foundational skills even some experienced riders lack.
I can appreciate the anxiety many new riders may share with me. Since there are so many bikes on the range, you will have limited repetitions for each exercise. If you're ADHD and uncoordinated like me, it can be frustrating to seemingly perform each exercise a handful of times whilst several precious hours are wasted sitting on your butt in a classroom studying a book. Don't sweat it! These guys know what they're doing. If you're supplying the effort to succeed in this course, you "will" be ready for your assessment. Relax, trust the couches and have fun, brother.
happy ridin'.
Anthony Becraft
Took the Basic Rider Course and loved it. I've been riding for twenty years on the east coast, but decided to take the class to ease DMV hassle and lower my insurance premiums. Learned a lot, even with my experience. Curtis (our instructor) was extremely knowledgeable and kept the course fun. Definitely recommend.
Robert Fenske
I recently took the Basic Rider course with no previous experience on a motorcycle. The instructors were very encouraging and knowledgeable out on the driving range. Be prepared to feel exhausted after a long day on the course! Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in motorcycles.
Eric Pearson
I have returned to riding a motorcycle after being away for over 10 years. I went back and forth on taking the Basic Rider Course, but decided to go ahead and enroll. I am SO GLAD that I did. The class was a great experience and I was able to awaken some dormant skills as well as learn many new skills. I am a much more confident rider and that is definitely worth the investment in time and money. The Rider Coaches were excellent and adapted their instruction to each rider's skill level. There were about a dozen other riders taking the course but it always felt like a very individual course based on what I needed to work on. I highly recommend this course to people who have never been on a motorcycle all the way to experienced rider who may have been away for some years. I'd also bet there are many current riders who maybe haven't taken a rider skills course who would benefit greatly from this class. Excellent experience! Rider Coaches Bill and Eli were fantastic. Knowledgeable, calm, patient, confidence inspiring and dedicated to improving each rider based on where they were at that moment.
Matthew Houston
I recently attended the beginner riding course and had a blast! I was a little nervous going in because I didn’t have much experience on a motorcycle (just scooters), but the instructors (Mike, Tony, and Sean) were very competent and encouraging and made it fun. I started with very minimal riding ability and was shocked at how much I progressed and how comfortable I felt on the bike by the end of the course. Highly recommended for anyone who has ever wanted to ride or wants to refresh their skills. The class is a perfect way to learn how to ride.
B Lecher
Would definitely recommend the basic course for anyone looking to start riding or has been riding for years! Curtis was a great instructor! Even though our class was in the rain it was a great experience. Looking forward to signing up for that offroad course when it comes out.
Henry Williams
As a motorcyclist since 1985 and having owned over 30 motorcycles in that timeframe, you think you can't learn anything new. Wrong!!!! Thanks for your online videos and your free advice!
Tiffany Duran
Very safe, lots of fun, and quality education. Never drove a motorcycle in my life, but only two days and felt so comfortable and excited to ride!! The coaches were great too.
Dane Eldredge
I'm so glad I signed up for the basic riding course. Tons of fun, expert instructors, 10/10 recommended.
Sherridan Hackmann
I had a great experience at Team Arizona - East Valley. My two Rider Coaches, Earl and Mike, were the two best coaches I could've asked for. They're personable, relatable, and know their stuff. They inspire confidence and are prime examples of how to be a safe motorcycle rider. Team Arizona certainly knows how to pick knowledgeable riders with tons of experience to teach their courses. I'm extremely happy with my experience and plan on coming back for a Confident RiderCourse and eventually an Advanced RiderCourse with them. Thanks for the great experience!
Alex
Thanks Team Arizona, especially Tony and Shaun. Paul and Beth too. You all really helped me get down the basics and gain so much confidence.
Mia Christine James
This was one of the best decisions I could have ever made for myself as a new rider. All of the rider coaches where so knowledgeable and helpful with everything. So professional and kind. I was extremely lucky to have been told about this class. TAKE IT!!
Tatyana Fish
I came here to get my endorsement for riding and did the basic chores. It was a great experience and James and Ash have a great knowledge of riding a motorcycle. If you ever dream of learning to ride I highly recommend them! ❤ Now to go from the classroom to the streets! Braaaaapppp! 🤣 …
Brandon T
I took the Basic Rider Course and I have to say I’m blown away by how much I learned. Brian gave us the information in a clear and concise manner in class and on the course Brian and Jim were better teachers than I could’ve expected or asked for. I will be back for more training
Jessica Mell
Awesome people (Shout out to Sean and Ryan)!! Learned so much in 2 days. Honestly best experience and made me want to continue with this passion.
Shayna
Having only been a passenger on a motroycle, when I decided to finally learn how to ride, I'm so grateful to have found Team AZ! I took the basic rider course with Bryan and he was an amazing coach! He was knowledgeable and was able to teach the fundamentals in the classroom, and apply them in the field in a way that made sense for all of us. I'd also like to add our class was full of cool people and it was super fun to learn how to ride with a smaller group. If I could rate 10/10, I would!
Larry Trauthwein
Good school instructors were on point. Took the reclass and Toni was awesome very instructive. He deserves a raise was very patient.
Kezia Odango
Coaches Sean and Kelly really know what they’re doing 👍🏼 I absolutely enjoyed the class, it was a blast! 🤩 …
Tracy Speciale
It's been about 15 years since I rode last. My hubby bought me my first bike 2 weeks ago and signed me up for the class. I'll be honest I was super nervous but that was quickly squashed when I met my instructor Andrea. From there on it was fun and a great learning experience! Andrea cheered us on, was professional, friendly and gave us great tips. I actually cried when I passed both tests! I would definitely recommend TEAM Arizona!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Bryan F
Sean and Keith are amazing instructors. Very thorough and knowledgeable.
Bad Mac Bass and Bass
Great classes. Great instructors. Very happy with the confident Rider course. I recommend
I learned and was able to practice.
Michelle Houston
I had an amazing experience taking the Intro to Riding course with Coach Craig. He helped to ease my nerves about riding a motorcycle and increase my confidence. He broke down riding into manageable steps and by the end of the course, I was excited to ride. After this course, I immediately signed up for the next beginner course with TEAM Arizona, so I could get even better and get my motorcycle license. I cannot recommend TEAM Arizona more! They are professional, provide amazing information and prepare you to be a safe and capable rider.
brandon Hanson
Sean and Beth were the BEST!! Was super skeptical about spending the almost $400 😅 but the knowledge I gained was priceless. Sean having prior police experience really gave me insight into how motorcycle accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them. These guys are awesome recommend them extensively! …
Kevin Gibbens
Seriously great training. Going to have my kids take the basic rider course for sure.
Barry Pine
Very good instruction explains every aspect of your riding on the motorcycle classroom discussion was spot on.Even though I had a lot years on motorcycles I still picked up quite a few things I had forgotten about. Andrea the head instructor was very nice and knew what she wanted from students. Tony was a excellent coach I did a couple of little things wrong he pointed them out to me and I corrected them would recommend any one wanting to learn how to ride to go and see them. I'm going to be taking some advance riding courses in the future . Thanks for the great time I had!!!!
Barry Pine
Tee
Great class to practice safe maneuvers with expert instructors. Learning with your own bike was very useful
irishcurtis1
Today, I completed the Advanced Riding Techniques class, presented by Jim and Bill. Having over 30 years of riding experience DID NOT keep me from learning some interesting and valuable new skills. I have now owned 4 different motorcycles with Antilock Brakes from 3 different manufacturers and today was the first time I experienced ABS activation in the front brake, in a safe and controlled manner. What an eye-opener!!! We spent A LOT of time on body positioning to assist with cornering; it didn't take long to recognize my old habits and improve upon them using the new techniques. Thanks to Bill for helping me to recognize when I was applying the new stuff properly. DO NOT come into this class thinking you are too old or too good; you WILL benefit!!
Erica Moite
Super amazing, very detailed class! Instructors are patient, knowledgeable and experienced. I recommend this class to everyone who is wanting or thinking about learning to ride. Thank you Team Arizona!
Jeremy Benwy
Both James and Jim made what would have been extremely difficult be so easy.i had a great time and learned a lot thank you for being apart of my learning process😊I passed everything Sept 21st 2022💪 …
Brian Lecher
Instructors are patient with beginners and challenged the experienced riders. I've been riding for 40 years, and was amazed of how much I learned and took away from the basic coarse. Highly recommend for any riders no matter their experience level!!
E Brown
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Our Trainer Matt was awesome, very patient and so funny. He made the whole process seems easy. I had so much fun. Oh did I tell you....I'm a Motorcycle Momma now. 😁😀😁. 👁️🗨️ out lol …
Kenneth Finklea
Tony was amazing! I had to retake the test and he was very patient because I was very nervous and in my head. Thank you guys and thank you to my first instructors as well!
Spencer Holman
Doesn't matter if you've been riding for a lot of years or if you've never ridden before, this class is great. I've been riding for about 17 years, and until I did this course I can honestly say that I never practiced certain maneuvers, especially slow speed precise turning. It was a great chance to get those skills sharpened and have an opportunity to check the ego at the door and just practice/ learn to be a better rider. If you're on the fence about doing the Rider Course just go for it. Even though it was 113 outside and I have been riding for half my life, I still had a blast doing it. Better insurance rates are an added bonus, but the best thing was breaking up the complacency mindset I had gotten into over the years.
Colin Rule
I came with zero experience on a motorcycle (haven’t even sat on one). I left with very high knowledge on safety and riding skills. Sean was an AMAZING coach, he’s an overall AMAZING guy to talk to and he’s very knowledgeable.
Sandra Quick
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone. 3 of my friends and myself took the intro class tonight. It was very informative, thorough, professional, and fun!
We weren't sure what to expect, but were pleased with what we got. We will all be taking the next course to get our license!
Can't wait to start the next course!
You won't be disappointed! Thank you
TEAM ARIZONA! See you soon!
Alvaro Sierra
I attended the class at Buddy Stubbs HD this past weekend. Instructors were Frank Caruso and LIsa Riggiero. Both Instructors were very informative and very knowledgeable. The class was fun and worth every penny invested. Most of us in class had zero experience on a motorcycle and we all learned and gained motorcycle knowledge all thanks to the instructors. Everyone who tested the Road course and Written all passed confidently cause the lessons we trained helped us gain that confidence. I highly recommend the Basic Motorcycle Riders Class to anyone in the market to buy a bike or just want the thrill to learn how to ride a Motorcycle.
Andrew Trainer
Awesome instructor's well worth the time they teach you so much. I definitely recommend it
Yocaol Yocaol
It was fun working with all the instructors. All of them we're helpful and easy to understand. James, Merlo, and Eli explained everything well and made things as simple and efficient as possible.
Ryan Gilio
I had Curtis as my class instructor and Chris as my ride instructor. Curtis is super knowledgeable and a great teacher, he really cares about the course. Chris was friendly and a great ride instructor. I recommend taking the safety course here
Sebrina Martin
Sean is a great instructor! He is professional and fun! Made it so easy to learn and was very patient when needed! Definitely recommend this course!!
jeremy wiitala
Great course, learned a lot. Went in as a total novice. Great instructors and a lot of fun.
B King
Highly recommend TEAM Arizona - both my husband and I took their Basic course, and I took a private lesson to build on my skills. The coaches are great, they explain things well, are patient with you, and provide good feedback. We plan on taking their advanced level courses in the near future. If your thinking about getting your motorcycle license, or just want to refresh or advance your skills - this is the place to go!
Katie Wenger
Worth every penny. I loved it. I learned things that I did not know I need to know. Great coaches. Had a great time...this is the bike I used to learn the various skills to ride safe.
Joseph Kamper
I took the basic rider course back in July and can't say enough how beneficial it was. I enrolled in the course to obtain my motorcycle endorsement for my drivers license but gained much more. It not only gives you in depth training on how to properly operate a motorcycle technically, but also teaches you how do so in a way that keeps you safe while riding. All the coaches were helpful, patient, friendly, and gave in depth answers to any and all of my questions. I look forward to taking the next level courses they offer in the near future, and recommend anyone interested in learning to ride take this course before they start!
Natalie Baziotis
The Confidence Course lead by Joe in Gilbert was great! He was very patient and clear with his instructions. He also gave my several great tips to help me ride! Would recommend this course to build confidence and enhance basic skills.
Stephen Strobel
James and Brian where amazing teachers. Learn so much about the friction zone and turning. I would recommend this class to anyone even if you don't have a bike, its a lot of fun. Oh and NORTHSIDE is where the winners are.
Jon Gercaliu
I can't say enough about the great staff at the Gilbert location & how much fun my experience was! My class instructor was Gordon who was charismatic, funny, positive, knowledgeable, & made the classroom portion fun by engaging in group discussions & answering all questions with a lot of personal experience. My course instructor was Bill who was also very charismatic, funny, positive, knowledgeable, patient, & did an amazing job giving clear easy to follow instructions. I felt like Bill was invested & genuinely cared about the group, he shared so much knowledge gained from personal experience & even sacrificed his personal time during breaks & lunch to continue answering individual questions. The staff had great camaraderie which resulted in a lot of laughs for the group, you could tell these guys truly care about each other. I am naturally a skeptical person so it is very comforting knowing everything I learned last weekend came from knowledgeable experienced riders. I went into the class with a "I can't wait to get this over with" mentality however I truly had so much fun to the point where I cannot wait to gain more experience & sign up for more advanced courses in the future. Thank you guys for welcoming me into the riding community & making my first experience so much fun!
Tami M
I took the Basic Rider Course and a little over a year later I took the three day course to receive my endorsement. Absolutely loved it! The riding instructor was patient knowledgeable and genuinely concerned about all of us learning correctly so we stay safe! Would highly recommend Team Arizona to anyone considering getting on a bike. I think it has helped me even as a passenger on my husbands bike!
Saleem Shareef
Best Instructors and best training center ever!!
I highly recommend this facility to anyone interested in learning to ride. I enrolled with 0 experience, and left with a good experience and an endorsement. The instructors there are excellent, professional and really know how to teach. Shout out to Jim Barnett, an awesome instructor! He truly has the gift of a teacher, and shared great tips to help me pass. Can't say enough of good things about this training facility. Everyone from the answering the telephone to the facility, 5 stars for everything! Thank you sincerely!
Jill P
I took the Basic Riding course in 2016. It was a great course and after some individual time with Coach Jim, I got my license! I’m 55 and never once felt out of my element. Everyone was kind and patient. I have put on 15K miles since. I have also taken every skills practice course over these couple years and I have so much more confidence in my riding abilities. Hoping to take the next course in my training with TEAM. Great experience with all the coaches I have worked with. Don’t put it off any longer, go get that license or get better at what you already know!!
Jillian Sloan
I took the Basic Rider Course about a year ago. It was my first time on a bike with the handle bars in my hands and the instructors made me feel calm and in control through the entire duration of the class. All of the instructors had years, if not decades, of experience and shared first-hand accounts of when their training had helped them get out of a scary situation at least once, so that was reassuring. The classes are very well organized and at the end of it, I felt confident about taking my test to get my license. Oh yeah, I passed and I'm looking forward to returning to TEAM Arizona for the Advanced Rider Course.
Cameron Yarbrough
The whole Team Arizona group really does an amazing job! The teachers and equipment are the perfect combo to make sure you leave with the skills to successfully enjoy a lifetime of riding! Big thanks to Curtis and staff for making the basic riding course engaging and fun for someone that has over 30 years of riding experience! Slow is smooth and smooth is fast!
Food Ink
5 stars all the way! This was a fantastic experience!! We had Kaysen and Ashley as our instructors. They were very thorough explaining everything and by the end of the course teach you the BASIC skills necessary to get on a ride a motorcycle. They have very useful drills and practices that will absolutely come in handy on the road!! I thought this class was going to be boring but it was quite the opposite!! The only negative reviews from this place are people that don’t know how to read instructions for the PROPER GEAR to bring with them!! I feel more comfortable on a motorcycle after this course and am ready to hit the road!!
Christopher Jimenez
Amazing place! John was super patient and a great instructor! We did the intro class on Valentine's day and what a perfect date for the wife and I ☺️
Ken Bunch
Having recently completed the Confident Rider Course I can say without hesitation that all motorcycle riders - regardless of experience - will want to (read SHOULD) take the Confident Rider Course; which is the follow on to the Basic Rider Course.
The instructors (Rider Coaches) are awesome at explaining each drill and then demonstrating it before we all went out and tried it. The only bummer on each drill for me was when it ended! I just wanted to keep going and fine tuning my newly learned technique at each pass!
There were 10 of us in the class with a variety of bikes from big touring bikes to smaller displacement street bikes and every drill was very doable for all bikes there. I have been riding for many years and always want to improve, so I read books and watch YouTube videos and then I would go try and practice on the streets. This is not the best idea and progress was slow. But just during this half-day class I learned so many more valuable riding techniques that I wish I had taken this class much sooner! Plus, practicing in a controlled environment and not public roads takes a huge amount of stress out my life.
You may have no problem flying down the highway but get very tense when things slow down - like easing into the parking lot and weaving around other bikes at your favorite "hideaway". Take this class and you will maneuver your bike with relaxed confidence. You will learn to truly control your bike, so it no longer controls you. And you will not you freak out when something unexpected happens either. You will just react, solve the problem while keeping both wheels on the pavement.
I will be taking the Advanced Riding Course soon and fully expect to learn even more!
That Family Tho
James and Jon were outstanding have ridden for several years and we had people with absolutely no experience and the flow was great. I learned some bad habits I had adopted and they helped to feel confident in low speed maneuvers. Will be sending everyone I know to train with these two gentlemen. Thank you sirs I will be returning for further advanced training in the mean future
Josh Pearce
These guys put on a really great class. I have previous dirt bike riding experience, but wanted to get my motorcycle license. I decided to go through the basic rider course with these folks, and it was terrific! The instructors were great, and I feel much more comfortable on my bike than ever before.
Roger Holgate
Wow! Had such a fun couple of days this weekend taking my Basic Ridercourse with these guys. I rarely write positive reviews, but the guys n girls here at TEAM Arizona truly deserve a huge pat on the back. The instructors were some of the best / friendly people you'll ever meet. I went from a novice rider, who had only ever ridden quads - to being confident to ride my own bike, in 15 hours of written & riding based training over 2 days. I now feel a lot safer about taking my bike out on the streets of Arizona. Thank you so much TEAM Arizona. I will most certainly be back to hone my skills in the future.
Add. Went back a year later on a new bike to take the next course, then also took some skills classes from these guys. What I have learned from them provides a valuable foundation to my riding skills on the road and the dirt on my BMW GS.
Chadason McGraw
The best redemption I could ahve asked for.
My first attempt at this MSF course, out near a Harly Davidson dealer, was not good. I had poor coaches, a bike that I did not fit in, and I took away less knowledge than I came in with. After failing the first attempt I decided to give them a second chance. The amazing manager of TEAM Arizona convinced me to come to this location and take a private lesson to work on what my weakness was. After getting some great coaching I was able to ride a motorcycle for the first time. I loved it, and took the class again.
This second class was amazing. It was fun, it was filled with knowledge, and it had the best coaches. My whole class, who made it to the exam, passed the exam. We were the endorsed and sent our way to learn more.
I will be attending more classes and I will be getting more skills. I will also highly recommend this class here at TEAM Arizona MSF Gilbert location.
Lamont Dupree
Had an awesome experience as a first time rider at this location. James and his team were excellent, all while training a new coach. Will be back for more courses! (Northside!)
tyler matuszewski
This class is AMAZING and they teach you so much about how to ride and how to ride safely. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who is thinking about getting their endorsement. I was able to learn from Andrea and Kevin at the Scottsdale location. These two instructors are extremely professional and they have patience with every rider. Thanks TEAM AZ!
パンの耳ライオン
This is a great place to learn the fundamentals about riding! The instructors we had were Andy and kaysen and were both great! My wife wanted a bit of extra time to get things down so took a 2 hour private course with an instructor named Bill Seltzer and he went out of his way to make sure my wife had the help she needed to be successful! Even went about an hour and a half over the two hours and she wasn't rushed, and was even told not to worry about it, and instead to leave a positive review to tell others! In short, my wife walked away with her motorcycle license. I would highly recommend this place for sure! Thanks guys! Thanks Bill!
DigitalChoclat
I didn't think that you could learn how to ride a motorcycle in such a short time. The instructors were amazing and well organized. I had a class of about 12 people and somehow they managed to give each of us special feedback and take time to learn our individual strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the course we were all a bunch of confident riders, the hesitation and nervousness most of us had in the beginning was gone. They encouraged us to speed up and trust the bike. My group had three instructors, Erick, Paul, and Kim. They were amazing and you will be super lucky to get them. They kept the course fun while also stressing safety. If a 5'0ft tall little lady like myself could pass, so can you!
Eric Eisenberg
TEAM Arizona was a great learning experience with an emphasis on safety. The knowledge portion was well-paced and informative. The riding portion was done with great equipment and in a well controlled environment!
Spring De
The trainers here are truly fantastic. They are patient, encouraging are able to provide feedback. When you make a mistake they explain what happened and how to correct it to ensure you are learning. Andrew and Keeyson (forgive me if I spelt that wrong) we’re great. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to learn to ride or to help build confidence. I know I am utilizing them to gain more confidence with some extra training and have encourage my daughter and son to sign up soon for these classes. There were a few incidents on the track with their new riders, they responded well, sought medical care as needed and never made appeared to make anyone feel bad about making mistakes or needing help. Fantastic team!!
Charles Silver
Bill, Tealdo, Morton and Ron were fantastic - all first class riders and instructors. Patient, non-judgmental, and able to answer questions in a way that builds confidence. They are also no-nonsense when it comes to your safety and other's.
What a great experience I had. I've taken Advanced Rider Techniques, Total Control 1 and 2, and Sunday was my first Track Day after taking their class. They demystified the entire experience, set us up for success, and the individualized coaching was fantastic. Not too much information is thrown at you, one bite at a time, we all dramatically improved our riding. From Vision, to Body Position, to Entry speed, Turning points, Apex and the Exit - we covered the most important things to be safer, faster, more stable, in control, and PREDICTABLE!
I absolutely, 100%, without reservation, recommend their classes for anyone who wants to be a better rider...oh yeah, and YOU WILL HAVE FUN in the process!
Thanks TEAM Arizona!
Mike Lee
I took the Basic Rider Course in July. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about handling my motorcycle and, more importantly, about how to stay safe. I enjoyed the course. The instructors were very patient and encouraging. Lots of tips: Slow speed maneuvering, U-Turns, hard stops, swerving to avoid hazards, setting up for cornering and completing a corner. Keeping your eyes up, looking where you want to go. After a few weeks of riding, applying this new knowledge, I was much more confident.
I then took two Skills Practice Series courses. Low Speed Maneuvering and Hazard Avoidance. The instructors continuously pointed out where I could improve and what a difference. Next I will do braking.
I recommend TEAM Arizona to anyone.

I could not be happier with my experience! I loved every minute of it, even when I messed up the coaches were patient and supportive of my learning. All of them were so friendly and professional it made learning to ride a really amazing birthday present. Thanks to Leonard, Kaysen, Paul and Drew for the fantastic class!
Richie Schatz
This place is legit. Just passed my basic rider course and now I'm endorsed. The instructors were great. Knew everything, and made the weekend go by quick. I recommend this place to everyone.
Chris Woodard
This is a premier facility for motorcycle training that encompasses many classes from introductory and beginner rider classes to advanced classes for various skill levels. If you want to earn your motorcycle endorsement and have the opportunity for advanced training and learning new riding skills then Team Arizona is the place to learn from.
fabian gonzalez
Paulwas a great teacher. Very helpful and made the class enjoyable and stress free. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into motorcycles I learned a lot.
Ryan Lorenz
James was an excellent teacher in the classroom and out on the riding course. I had never rode a motorcycle before the course and now I feel as though I have a strong foundation going forward.
Michael Hutchinson
James and Nick were teriffic. I'm an OLD rider, and they were great with me, along with the young riders in my class. I recommend this program, and certainly James and Nick, without reservation.
Phil Alibrandi
Outstanding trainers and training content. Good balance of classroom and range work. Learned a lot and am confident to continue learning basic motorcycle riding skills.
Michael Gilbert
This was a great course and I would recommend it to everyone who is currently riding or new riders. The instructors are very good and take the time to explain exactly what you need and help you develop your skills as a rider. It's worth the price for the class and I'm really glad I took the course. I definitely feel more confident as a rider and learned a ton of info. If you haven't done it yet..you should. Totally worth it.....
Chris Havill
Great way to learn how to ride and get your endorsement. Fantastic instructors, large variety of bikes to choose from as well. I was surprised at how new they were! Fair warning, after you pick that's your bike until the class is done, no switching. (im guessing if you really needed to switch they'd let you, but you can't try a bunch for the sake of trying)
One note, BRING GLOVES. the gloves they provide are like wool mittens. you will not have a good grip, or good feel for the controls. buy a pair of cheap motorcycle or mechanics gloves, anything that's not too thick and aids grip, and riding will be much easier. After that it's 90% confidence.
DEATHSPIN180 GAMING
The instructors were excellent in explaining what to do. They really teach from the very basics, and if you are an experienced ride they help brush up your skills on the motorcycle. These guys are literally the best out there! Highly recommended if you want to go get your motorcycle endorsement!
Zoe Quinn Jett
Overall worth the money. Had some trouble at first but the coaches were really good about getting my skills to where they needed to be. Would recommend if you're wanting to learn to ride a motorcycle.
Sofi Rush
My experience was 11/10 it surpassed my expectations. The reason why I was able to pass my test, and enjoy my time was because of my instructors: Tony and Paul. I had zero experience and i wasn’t confident but both of them were always nice and very patient with me. They never made me feel like making a mistake was wrong, but instead they made me feel like I was able to do it.
Jacob Stevens
I recently took the Confident Rider course from Team Arizona at there Gilbert location, and I highly recommend it. The teachers were knowledgeable, and the overall experience was exceptional. I have been riding for almost 5 years, both on road and off road, so I was concerned that the exercises would be too easy and boring, but that definitely was not the case. It doesn't matter if you've been riding for months or 50+ years (as someone in our group had been), the technical, slow speed maneuvers practiced in the course will still challenge you in a safe and controlled environment. If you are even kind of thinking about it, just do it. It will make you a better rider.
The other key benefit you will get is a discount on your insurance for most providers. I use Geico, and got a $165 off my annual premium. Since the course only costed $139, that means that it will already pay for itself in just one year of saving, not to mention the savings from hopefully a lifetime of riding ahead. These classes should really be viewed as investments!
James Fraze
Like: Instructors were awesome, they had their own course, everything was clean and maintained, I was able to use their motorcycle to train on, and I got my endorsement.
I took the basic rider course a few weeks ago and have to say how pleased I am with the information I received. A friend recommended them, and wife demanded I take a class. I was humbled with how much I didn't know and how well it was taught. I recommend this class and their training be mandatory to anyone who wants to come home to their family after a ride. The information I learned was extremely helpful and valuable. I'm going back for more of the advanced training too for my recent sport bike purchase. I thought I knew quite a bit about how to ride a motorcycle because for several years every summer I rode dirt bikes on summer break. This class was an eye opener, and a I can't recommend it enough.
The Fairy Love Sniper
Leanard is an amazing instructor! He taught both classes and waa the range instructor for me. Yes i took the class twice, but my knowledge is doubled. Because of what i learned i was able to drive my new bike home and then to work. Loved my experience here. Highly recomnded this course, hope you get Leanard!!!!
Tim Morgan
I attended an Intro into Motorcycling class there within the last month. Our instructor, John, was super patient, extremely helpful, and a wealth of knowledge. I had developed an itch to learn how to ride a motorcycle, and this class has only barely whetted my appetite. I'm definitely looking forward to the Basic Ridercourse to get my motorcycle endorsement. And beyond that, the other classes available can only help me get better. Super friendly folks.
Victor Garcia
Had an amazing time learning to ride from all the instructors involved ! But James knocked it out of the park with teaching the class 👏 High Energy …
CJ L
I recently took the Total Control level 1 course, and was very glad I did. The instructors helped me reach new levels of confidence in advanced riding techniques - and I've been riding for almost 30 years!
I believe you never stop learning to ride better, safer and smarter - and it's the dedicated folks at Team Arizona that can help steer you in the right direction!
Follow up: I'm signed up for the Team AZ Track Clinic at Horsethief Mile in October - looking very forward to the next level in my pursuit of riding excellence!
Matthew Hammond
Excellent! That's the best word to describe the experience. Joe and Keith took me from no riding experience to a confident beginner. I appreciate the fun atmosphere, great teaching and the concern showed for all of us. Great experience!!!
Charles H
This class was very beneficial. I felt better and had more control over my motorcycle after attending the course. You get an amazing amount of practice and support from the driving coaches. I plan to take the next level course after I reach 1000 miles of riding experience. That should be around January 2020.
Rip Pie
I was initially really nervous about taking this class; one because I was the only girl in the class and because I am a little petite girl. But once class got started all my worries were quickly erased! The instructor was wonderful,thorough, and patient. I was so excited to get out on that course and start the motorcycle! Once on the motorcycle both instructors made sure any questions, worries, and concerns were address and answered. They spend the necessary with each individual and give important feedback. Once I get a motorcycle I am definitely going in to take the course to get practice one on one time with my motorcycle. I have recommended this class to any and all who show an interest in riding and I love bragging about the fact that I took the class and received my license.
Cerberus
I have taken two courses with TEAM Arizona last year and loved each one. I started off by taking the Intro course in January as a gift from a family member that knew I was interested in getting my motorcycle endorsement. The instructor and facility were amazing. I returned a few months later to take the Basic Riders Course that allowed me to get my endorsement without worrying about taking a test at the MVD, very helpful!! As soon as I can carve out time to go back I would love to take some of the advanced riding courses.
katy trainer
Decided to take this class after wanting to buy a bike to commute to school with. From the very beginning the instructors were incredibly nice and one of them even helped me find bikes within my price range and gave advice on which bikes to buy. Out on the course they were so patient and nice, they answered any question you asked and made sure you felt comfortable at all times. After completing the entire course it was clear they cared very much about your success and your safety!
Ryan Grady
James and Sean were great instructors, honestly had a really fun weekend!
brian lin
Sean and Ryan made an easy to learn and fun experience.10/10 course
Kayla Tresise
I took the beginner rider course, and got my motorcycle endorsement after completing the class! Such an amazing course for people that have never been on a motorcycle, or know the first thing about riding! They broke it down, made it simple to learn, and it was awesome to not only watch myself excel at riding, but to watch other new beginner riders grow confidence with their riding skills. Would recommend this course to everyone, whether they are a beginner rider, or experienced, and looking to fine tune and learn more things about riding. My husband didn't want me to ride, but after seeing the skills I learned in this course, he was glad and relieved that I took the time to take the course and learn more about riding.
Jeff Ellmaurer
Completed the basic rider Ed course this weekend (July 4th, 2020). I had NO prior experience riding and these guys/gals were fantastic! The cost/value ratio was great - felt like I easily got my money’s worth and the instructors genuinely cared about seeing me succeed while ensuring I was competent on the road. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
321Octavia
I just took the beginner class with Team Arizona and I was really not looking forward to it, but Joe and Keith made the experience so fun and gave us great feedback and how to successfully complete the course and set us up for success in our new Rider journey.
Bryan Thelen
There are not enough superlatives to describe how well Alexis and Brian coached the BRC I just attended. They are both passionate about riding and spreading the joy of riding to others in a safe and controlled manner.
Cary Walpole
Sean and Beth are amazing! In 2 days these instructions had us riding amazing! Thank you so much! I highly recommend this class !
Braiden Byrd
Amazing staff. Their hands on approach to learning makes it fun and easy. Easily worth the money if you are looking for a fun and safe way to learn to ride. My instructors were Andrea and Dave, they offered amazing instruction and were extremely helpful.
Oksana Zvir
Thank you so much for the class it was very nice and understandable and I understood everything very great instructor explains everything very well and easy to learn I appreciate it very much Earl Thompson !!!! Overall give it 6 out of 5 stars
Nicholas Rider
Great classes for all levels - from stalling at stop lights to track days. If you aren't sure of your riding level, give them a call, and i highly recommend the one-on-one session. Bill was excellent at throttling the difficulty of the course so that I was always pushing myself. They'll let you take breaks when you need them, and you will need them, but you can push yourself till you're wonderfully sore if you want to. These guys are super responsive and professional. I called them about the training in the morning and got a call later that night verifying the time. These coaches are top notch. They walk the fine line of "This should be fun" and "Take this seriously". I felt the course and the test were much more applicable to real life situations than the MVD one. I wish I would started with these guys 10 years ago. I fully plan on taking the whole series.
Kaitlin Higgins
I took the Basic Rider Course this October 2015. I had been wanting to get my license for a while and was referred this class by several people. It did not disappoint. My instructor, Jim Barnett, was awesome and he really made me feel comfortable while I learned the basic skills of motorcycle riding. I can't wait to take the Advanced Rider Course in the future. I definitely recommend the Basic Rider Course if you are thinking about getting a license. Totally worth it!! Thanks TEAM ARIZONA!!!
Kristina Smith
I took the Intro class with Craig & highly recommend this to anyone interested in riding! When I first sat on the bike I thought there was no way I could ride it but by the end of the class, thanks to Craig, I didn’t want to get off of it! He is an amazing coach who understood my fears and got me through them. Great class & great coach!
Chandler Chambers
The instructors are very friendly and charismatic and make sure to give you tips and one on one if you need it, I will definitely come back and try to do all the courses I can
Ron McCumber
I had the pleasure of taking my first course with Team Arizona on 7/13 and 7/14 in North Phoenix. Larry and Matt are amazing instructors. They took the time to explain each part of the training giving positive feedback. This was also a lot of fun, and Motorcycles are Awesome.
carvethecanyon
The classes are a great to take whether you've never rode a motorcycle or wanting to learn new skills. The instructors were great and encourage your and give you feedback on how to improve. Overall great experience! Would reccommend this place to anyone interested in motorcycle riding.
Joe DeSalme
I just took the MSF Basic Rider Course this past weekend at the Gilbert headquarters. If you're new to motorcycling and/or looking to get your M endorsement, look no further.
These are a great group of people and exceptional ride instructors.
I had never been on a motorcycle before and by the end of the second day I was confident on basic maneuvers and handling on a motorcycle.
There are numerous on the bike exercises that you incrementally build upon over two days of instruction.
Rider coaches give excellent feedback after every exercise to help ensure you ride the best you can.
The course is invaluable.
Phoebe Rouse
Just got my endorsement today!!! Tyler and Larry were amazing teachers! Knowledgeable and fun!
The other students were great too! An all around wonderful experience! If you want to get your motorcycle endorsement, I highly recommend Team Arizona!!!
Azta Vira
I needed to suddenly learn how to ride a motorcycle on account of my car dying, and still needing to make the 10 mile drive to work. I was able to slip into a class in Gilbert, and over the course of the three short days, I went from 0 knowledge to feeling reasonably safe driving home to Tucson. The pacing of the course was fantastic, neither overwhelming nor too slow to the point of being boring.
The instructors have a real and palpable love of riding and it shows. I would strongly consider returning to TEAM Arizona for more advanced courses.
Theo Ho
I attended the introductory course to get a feel for what riding a scooter would be like. The instructors were amiable and articulate, and they provided continuous feedback that helped me become a better rider. I am looking forward to taking the basic rider course!
Donald Duck
Very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced staff. I learned allot, and I will be back for more classes. The classes were well worth my ride from San Francisco. I would like if they could use cones in their instructions for a better visual approach for day and nights. Thank you. RLTW
Benjamin Meicke
Always thought riding a motorcycle would be cool, and I finally decided to do a BRC class with Team Arizona. I had never stepped foot on a motorcycle before, and I honestly learned a ton at this course. My whole class passed, and we all walked away with our endorsements. It's absolutely worth the money, and a necessity if you want to ensure you develop safe riding techniques for the future. I will definitely be back for more advanced course in the future!
Gail McSweeney
My boyfriend recommended Team AZ when I showed an interest to riding. Amazing place to train. My experience before Team AZ 1 ride on the back of my boyfriends DRZ. I took the Intro class on a Friday and then the basic that same Saturday and Sunday, I did this to have more bike time to build my confidence. I was pretty sure I wanted to ride but not positive I was going to keep riding due to fear but I wanted to give it a try. The step by step instruction was great they work with you and give you a lot of repetitive lessons so it stays with you long after the weekend on the course with their eye's watching. It's like they go onto the road's with you! "Head up" "Look into your turn" "Breathe" "Squeeze your legs" and so much more! They also teach you about watching for signs of cars going to move without signaling, how to safely stop, u turns, and even going over debris. It was a fun weekend with a nice variety of people there and the groups were small enough for a great learning environment. I have now been riding for 4 months and I love it! From freeways to rides around the neighborhood on my "Little Miss Ninja 500". Also my boyfriend was very pleased with my training as he watched me ride the first few times. He has been riding for many years but to break it all down to teach me would of taken longer then the 2.5 days I spent on the course with Team Az! I will be returning for more training soon!!
Ride on and reach for your dreams!
daylan jackson
I recently attended the Basic Rider Course. Coming in with no Motorcycle experience, I felt that the instructors were great at explaining and being patient. I know that I still have more to learn, but I feel confident in what was taught. I would recommend TEAM Arizona to anyone looking for a motorcycle, or anyone who wants to improve their technique.
Charles Malgrat
I purchased my first motorcycle on May 16th, 2012 and managed to get myself proficient enough on it on my own within the first couple of weeks. However, everyone I talked to said I needed to take a rider course. I ended up taking the "Confident Rider Course" with TEAM Arizona in Gilbert on June 9th, 2012 and couldn't be happier. I was already familiar with my bike, starting/stopping, etc. so I was real happy to find a course for those who have some familiarity with motorcycles and want to get their license. My instructors were Sarah and Steve and they were awesome. Each maneuver was talked through and demonstrated so there was no confusion and both instructors offered advice to each rider during each exercise which was a big help rather than just giving us pointers at the end. This really helped me solidify my skills and helped me become a much more confident rider. I now have my motorcycle endorsement and saved a couple of bucks off of my insurance. All in all, probably the best $100 I've ever spent. Thanks to TEAM AZ.
Zachary Young
Honestly would recommend it to anyone not just those actually wanting to get a license. The classroom coach was Kaysen and the range coaches were Sean and James and they were all amazing.
Jonathan Mackey
The professionalism of everyone who works at TEAM is unbelievable! I had a customer service issue and I worked with Craig. He followed up when he said he would and resolved my situation with ease. If you are in need of a motorcycle training class STOP and look no further. The staff and instructors are passionate about the work they do and they will treat you right! I am thankful of the respect and kindness they gave me. It is good to know that there are amazing people like the staff at TEAM!
Leif Dyrsten
I took the Basic Rider Course from Team Arizona so that I could dip by toe into motorcycling with some professional training. And professionals they were! The organization of the class is well-aligned to the season so that you can reduce the amount of time under the sun and still maximize riding time. I was amazed at how I could go from no experience to riding around a small course in a day. Bill was a highly skilled instructor and knows what to reinforce to make you a better rider and we all felt safe in his hands. The classroom segments from Ryan were educational, and engaging.The group could go off on small tangents about motorcycle safety & skill and Ryan would answer in a way that reinforced MSF curriculum. My only criticisms are with this curriculum. The slideshow could use updating to include more visual examples of concepts introduced in the book, preferably animated or video ones which can show ideas that are difficult to explain with words alone. However, I understand that MSF curriculum must be followed for compliance, and Team Arizona did a great job with what they had. If you are riding or considering riding, and you have never had professional training, get signed up for a class. I had quite a few people in my cohort that had been riding for decades and learned a ton at this "basic" class.
Dylan Winburn
STRONGLY RECOMMEND the classes at TEAM Arizona, especially if you’ve never ridden before. Took the MSC class over a weekend, and felt confident the first time I rode my own bike. Great course material, great instructors.
Kim Kayser
My husband, Robert Swank and I recently took two of your riding courses, the Introduction to Riding in Scottsdale AZ and the Basic Rider course in Peoria AZ. We were so pleased with both courses and feel much more prepared to go out and ride safely and confidently. I would highly recommend Team Arizona to anyone wishing to learn to ride or to hone their skills.
Kim Swank.
Ramzes Hernandez
the staff were friendly and great at explaining about motorcycle riding.
william flynn
Absolutely amazing experience, I had Chris as as my rider coach and he displayed so much patience with me I am super grateful for everyone at team Arizona and would definitely come back.
Reed Robinson
As an experienced (3+ years on the street) rider, I didn't think I'd get much from the class. I mainly took it just to get my license; however, I was pleasantly surprised. A rider of any experience can learn new tricks, even if you think you're perfect, there is value in this course
Krista Zavatta
I've taken The Basic Ridercourse, Advanced Riding Techniques, and multiple Skills Under the Lights courses with TEAM (all in the Gilbert location). They are AMAZING! I started off never having been the driver of a motorcycle and I'm now confident in my ability to control my bike as well as watch out for the people around me. The best part is going through many levels of training (my husband who has been riding 15+ years was able to come to Skills and learn a few things also). We've sent multiple friends/family members to TEAM and will continue to do so!
Brittnie Denison
Had a great time with my trainers James and Sean they were really nice and help me alot with this course. I will recommend taking a course to anyone.
Michael Kang
Informative and enthusiastic instructors (Sean, Sean and Alexis). If you're new and thinking about riding a motorcycle, sign up for their class. Well worth it.
Rey Svoboda
Whether you've been on a bike or not TEAM AZ is the place to get a great intro to motorcycles. There's even advanced courses for those who think they got the skills already. I was somewhat intimidated since I had never really riden at all but staff and coaches are just great. The coaches do a really good job of letting you know what skills you need to work on and it feels almost like one on one even in a class of 20. I got my pernit back in May of this year and have been saving to buy a bike so I can get on the road. I definitely will be back to make sure to keep my skills up and keep on riding!
R B (RB3)
I have to say that my Basic Rider Course experience at Team Arizona blew me away. Going into the course I was a bit skeptical of the value and impact it would have on my confidence to ride as a new rider. Upon arriving to class and getting into the material with our rider coach, those concerns quickly disappeared. We were immediately put at ease and excited for the days. We learned a ton of practical real world skills and maneuvers to keep us safe and have fun on the bikes. The course has been distilled down to the skills you need to stay alive and enjoy the road every day. There wasn't a ton of theory that doesn't apply to real life, but rather useful information on everything from cornering to stopping effectively, to panic maneuvers. Now being a few weeks out of the class and riding in the real world both in the US and Mexico, I can honestly say I use what i learned every day. I can't recommend this course high enough and the group at Team Arizona. Do it!
Scott Dyer
Great instructors had a super fun and educational experience. Will recommend to anyone looking to get motorcycle endorsement
Andrew D
I just completed my BRC and got my motorcycle license endorsement. This guys are great, huge shout out to Gordon and Ryan.
I never before rode a bike in my life, but thanks to this course I built my skill and level of confidence as well lots of things to be aware of when riding bike.
Highly recommend Team Arizona!
Isaac Weimer
Great BRC class with Sean and James, will definitely be going back for more classes in the future
Lydia Dominguez-Bashor
Had a one on one riding class today with James and
He was flipping AWESOME!!!
I'm so glad I paid the extra money, instead of giving up, after failing the 1st riding course class.
Nick Alati
Great Training, instructors were personal, they were ablle to articulate the riding tasks. Jason (in the photo) was just a great person to work with. 32 years riding, gave it up about 14 years ago an needed the License enforcement But I must admit I learned a lot
Thanks Team Arizona
orlando fernandez
I just finished the course today coach Ryan and Howard were great thank you.
Corndog_805
I took the basic rider course. I've been riding since I was 8 and never had a motorcycle endorsement (35 now) I figured I'd be only a technical requirement to get my license. BUT I was surprised that I actually learned so much from just the basic 3 day rider course. I took my class begging of September in gilbert at rhe training center and it was HOT but the instructors are cool and let u rest n hydrate and keep u safe. I got my new Bike on October for my Birthday, and I am riding with more knowledge and confidence than I ever have. I recommend this class to everyone. Regardless if you are experienced or a new bee, even passengers would benefit and learn from this.
I will return for the advanced rider course in the near future. That's how much I was impressed with this class. A++ JOB TEAM AZ.
Cornelio Mesa AZ.

Instructors were awesome, James and Beth were super cool. Learned a lot, had a lot of fun. #SouthSideSucks #GangWars #NorthSideRules
ali fadhil
The intro motorcycle class was above and beyond my expectations. Learned a lot and had a ton of fun that day , both instructors were so professional and patient as well as they paid extra attention to each student at the range. Thanks a lot Team Arizona
Kevin Lee
Learned a lot and gave tips of real life scenarios when to use certain exercises and pointed out areas to fix before you hurt yourself. Overall, very professional and worth picking them to get the motorcycle endorsement. Also, I never touched a Motorcycle before the class and did perfectly fine and passed.
William Gonzalez
The instructors are a blast and made learning to ride very enjoyable. Their upbeat attitude and quick wit easily alleviated any stress that was felt. I definitely recommend taking any course that they offer here. I know ill be back. If you go, you'll become a cheetah
Melissa Upshaw
My team? Gordon, Eric, and Ryan. They were a perfect balance! Eric - calm, patient, steady, kind. Ryan - encouraging, positive, knowledgeable and friendly. Gordon - relaxed, open, easily understood.
I was amazed by this team. I went from never riding - to a level of comfort in 2 days - I never would have believed was possible...and enjoyed every second of the experience - ESPECIALLY the ones that were personally trying.
I cant give a higher rating than 5 - or I would.
Rod C
Sean and Keith learned me well! Even I learned how to ride!
Pat O'Hara
Awesome school and even better staff! My family and I have been using Team Arizona for years and would recommend to anyone learning to ride and / or learning to improve their riding skills and awareness!
Best school hands down!
darren joy
I loved the riding course.....James was a great coach.....he treated me great and was explaining everything perfectly....Curtis was also great....will be taking the advance course this summer....thank you so much....yaaa yaaa
Christopher Reynolds
I had a great time getting my endorsement at Team Arizona Gilbert. The coaches were very personable and attentive. Even with such a large group I felt like I was given all the tools I needed to succeed. Andrea is awesome!
matthew williams
Just attended the course and all I can say is holy cow the wealth of knowledge these instructors have is amazing plus they make it a fun and enjoyable learning environment. Jim Barnett is amazing and I bought his book he published also looking forward to reading it when it arrives and taking more advanced courses at the Glendale location in the future. Thanks again Jim and Jerry cya soon.
Matt Williams
Hans Lettner
Matty is the best teacher ever! I have never had so much fun in a group and learned so much from a class. He is an amazing coach and a really good guy! If you take the BRC or ARC class request him. Just make sure you know him before you bro him. Thanks Team AZ and Matty for making my motorcycle experience a good one.
Sebastian Klingbyll
Instructors are amazing here, they make it feel easy and fun for a newbie
Christopher Bordenet
Great experience. Instructors were really helpful. I have been riding dirt bikes my whole life and a little bit of street bike. I learned alot and the best part didn't have to go to the mvd to get my endorsement.
Roberto Gudiño
Great team, got to be on an awesome group, got to pick from some cool bikes and got the best instructor ever
Jan Benson
All in all, the price was good, the class's were beneficial and well with it. I went from never riding a motorcycle, (it only took three weeks from my first class) to having a motor cycle endorsement and having my own bike! And attending the confident riders class.
my first class was at 5225 Buena School Blvd, Sierra Vista Arizona 85635 on Sunday 18 March 2012 at 7:30am it was a four hour introductory class. Loved it.
It was beneficial to understanding the basic application of riding, it's a good way of knowing whether or not this is something you want to pursue.
It also prepares you in more than one way for the next class you take, which is the test. Taking this four hour class really helped me pass my motorcycle endorsement the first time around.
I received my motorcycle endorsement on the 6th April 2012 with T.E.A.M. Arizona Tucson Now at 7501 East on 22 nd street Tucson AZ 85710 it was a full two day class starting Thursday 5 th April and finished Friday 6 th April 2012.
I took a confident riders course with T.E.A.M. Arizona in Sierra again at 5225 Buena School Blvd, Sierra Vista Arizona 85635 on Saturday 12 May 2012 at 7:30am. This was my third class with them.
I rode my Harley-Davidson 2009 sportster . I received my card that will give me a discount with my insurance. How cool is that?
So, do I recommend taking any of the class's I would have to say yes. It's peace of mind, being safe is my number one objective! The first five months of riding is the most critical time, as that's the time most accidents are more than likely to happen.
Furthermore, I am looking forward to taking my advanced Class, there are two of them.
Machine PING
I wanted to get my endorsement after years of riding without one. I thought that this would be some lame drivers ed state mandated POS time and money suck. I was really wrong. I wish I would have done this years ago.
The facility and practice ranges were great. The instructors were amazing.
If you have been putting off getting legal...
If you have never had professional training...
If you just want to get better at riding...
I will be going back!
Thanks Nick, Greg and TEAM Gilbert!
Also, thank you little black honda motorcycle... Lisa, I will never forget you and the time we spent together. ;)
Jacob G
Basic riders course really prepares you for riding out in the real world. Nothing beats practice, and there is a fair amount of that included. Provided you have the funds, this will definitely improve your abilities. If you enjoy a sense of humor, try to get Greg M as you instructor.
Jessica Tehan
have taken 3 courses with Team AZ and have loved each of them! All the instructors are great and have tons of experience.
Tony Neumeyer
What a great experience! I can't recommend strongly enough to some one considering learning to ride a motorcycle, to not only get professional training, but get it from Team AZ. Friendly, helpful, patient and just damn good at what they do. Thanks guys!
Jim Bard
Great learning experience with great instructors and other staff always ready to help out. Even if you've been riding for many years they have of a course that will teach you so many things you don't know and reinforce things that you do know.
L 4
Took the Basic Rider Course here. Great instructors, easy to understand, easy to talk to, and they're more than willing to walk you through everything.
I'll be going back for more advanced courses soon!

I took the 2 day course this past weekend, and I went from not even knowing how to turn on a motorcycle to making u-turns, swerving, braking on short notice. Jim is a great guy and a crazy good teacher. I highly recommend taking this course.
Matt keiter
Went there this weekend had the instructor named Curtis. He has a great sense of humor and very professional love the class and great experience very joyful thank you guys again at TEAM Arizona and thank you Curtis
Joey LaDelfa
It should be illegal for people not to take this class! Learned more than I could of asked for. Curtis and Chris were amazing. Any question they were happy to answer with a precise explanation. If you are getting a bike, take this class before, you will not regret it.

My wife and I attended the Basic Course last year. Our son just attended. We all had a good time, and learned a lot. I will take the CRC course next month.
Lionel Pope
I must say i learned more in that 15 hours then in any other time in my life.. Curt is a great teacher makes the class enjoyable and very much interactive. The riding coach Sara is fun and always laughing. oh yeah and she's eye candy.When coming out that class you'll be a much better rider and want to hit the raod instantly. Thank you Curt and Sara for turning me into a real motorcyclist. Lionel

I'm kinda biased but this is the only riding school in Arizona that I would send a loved ones to. Absolutely the best instructors and equipment. You simply will not find a better motorcycle school. Period.
RJ Probst
Two full days of interesting, insightful classroom and hands on handlebars in the seat of 250cc bikes of various types. Riding techniques demonstrated, explained, and practiced in a controlled, safe parking lot environment.
Ahmed H
James and Shaun!! Without them I wouldn't have the skills I need for the road thanks guys keep up the great work!
Willie Pearson
Trainer James Canning gave excellent training and class instruction. He made learning to ride fun.
John Dodd
Very explicit, highly knowledgeable, friendly, class participation, and perfect grounds for on bike training.
I'm hoping you will recognize Andrea for outstanding contribution as a highly competent instructor.
Kaysen Butterfield
I went to TEAM AZ training in Gilbert Jan 2013 to get my endorsement. As a total beginner I walked away with all of the skills I needed to know to start riding my own motorcycle. I look forward to doing more advanced training when i master the skills I'm working on now. TEAM AZ IS GREAT!
George Putnam
Taking a refresher course for my motorcycle. Instructors are real good at explaining and helping you to understand why the rules and techniques for riding.
Veronica Ezell
Amazing experience! The instructors are patient and really do work with all levels of experience. I went in with zero experience and a lot of fear, but left with an endorsement and a new way of life. Thank you for preparing me the way you did!
Celica Blackhoop
I could not think of a better way to learn to ride. With zero- no experience, the instructors were fun, supportive and informative!10/10 would recommend to all experience levels!
Jenny Harris
This place is awesome. They teach you to ride make sure you have a true understanding before you go out on the road. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone
Diane Kerr
I took my first rider training in 2008 and have taken two skill building and confidence building courses since then. I soon learned more of the best of Team Arizona was to follow. I salute Team Arizona for your dedication to the safety of the motorcycle community thru your ongoing motorcycle safety seminars conducted at Superstition Harley Davidson. Thanks. Jimmy Kerr ps I will continue to train with Team Arizona.
perla morales
Great coaches. Really knowledgeable and really helpful. Great experience.
Colin Klechak
Great class for beginners. I took both intro classes, the first to learn to ride and the second to get my license. Highly recommended! Informational, patience and overall great teachers!
bdgotclout
great place to learn if never ridden before. merlo and ash were very cool guys helped everyone. highly recommend. Also they are both very funny!
Stacy Hughes
Great experience. Ladies don't ride the Rebel the Suzuki are easier to handle. I rode the rebel in the class and failed the skills test. Retook the skills test on a Suzuki and past.
Alex Klimov
Really worth it. I have done couple of courses so far and learned something new on each of them. Though sometimes the group is too big and there is a huge level difference between some riders. That makes it a little bit uncomfortable and you don't enjoy it as much.
Ed Copeman
I signed up for the "Advanced Rider Course" several years ago in Gilbert, showing up with my '08 Kawasaki Versys to find two others on the course, one on a Beemer, but I can't remember what the other fellow rode. At that point I had been riding 40 to 50 years, raced dirt (enduros) as well as run a "top-fuel" Triumph drag-bike in the mid-60s.
We started w/ classroom lectures, then outside to do "figure 8s", circles, and braking-lessons. The instructor rode around in a circle w/ his "knee-puck" constantly dragging, just to show us it COULD be done, then we were instructed to ride on the 'balls' of our feet, NOT flat-footed on the 'pegs.
When my left foot 'dragged' on the ground (startling the heck out of me!), the lesson sank in, and I've ridden on the 'balls' of my feet ever since. The instruction in the classroom led directly into the outside riding-instruction, so by the time the 'day' was over I feel I was a far better technical rider even though I NEVER 'dragged' a knee (but I DID drag foot-peg feelers several times in the following months).
HIGHLY recommended if you're an experienced rider!
Fredrick Christy
The most recent TEAM AZ class was the CRC on April 1, 2012, yes it was April fools. I would have been foolish not to take it. It was better than the last 3 CRC's (it was called Experienced Riders Course then). But let me say, the first TEAM AZ course I attended was Oct. 1995 and since then the courses and instructors have gotten better and I'll keep going back as long as I'm on 2 wheels.
Travis McCormick
If you are an inexperienced rider or even experienced rider you should take a course here. I recently completed the basic course for my endorsement and it was a blast. Very supportive and caring people who work here
Blazan Haydutis
Had a wonderful time, Curtis was amazing and really helped everything click. Everyone should come here instead of going through the MVD first.
Donald Fronheiser

Team Arizona Is an incredible experience and well worth the money I have never written a review in my entire life online but I definitely owe it to My Rider coaches Curtis and Chris I had Never been on a motorcycle in my entire life and in three days I learned so much valuable information and I am so much more Confident in riding a Motorcycle now Thank you so much for the incredible experience and teaching me so much I would definitely pay and take this class over again before getting on a motorcycle And putting my life at risk and others at risk not knowing what I’m doing Most definitely take this class you will not be disappointed thank you Chris and Curtis!

Luap Iccutram
I can't say enough great things about TEAM AZ - good people, thorough instruction, and a comprehensive learning environment. They've guided me from an absolute novice into a Moto enthusiast.

Best money ever spent. Totally worth it. You can you learn enough when you’re on the road with a bunch of 2 ton hunks of steel.
Not only will it make you a better motorcycle rider, but it will make you a better driver, period!!!
Brian Billings
Good facility with good instructors. Can't say how important this is to being a good, safe rider. There are people here who are serious about being good instructors and passing along their knowledge.
