The ARC is designed to complement and build on the skills learned and practiced in other rider courses. Special emphasis is given to self-assessment, risk management, rider behavior, riding strategies and overall skill development, particularly in braking, cornering and swerving techniques.
During the course the student will discuss various topics in a fast-paced classroom segment with several fun interactive activities which will help improve perception and hazard awareness.
During the in-person riding the student will enhance both basic operating skills and crash avoidance skills. The course will emphasize how to improve braking and cornering finesse. Throughout the course the instructors will evaluate and coach each rider’s performance.
During the initial riding activities, each rider’s ability to operate a motorcycle will be evaluated by the instructors. Riders who cannot demonstrate minimum riding proficiency will not be allowed to continue and will need to consider enrolling in the Basic Rider Course or Basic Rider Course 2 (Intermediate). Riders who are not allowed to continue will not be eligible for a refund and may have to pay an additional fee to be enrolled in an alternate course.
