Xplor-Int Dirt Bike, ATV and Adventure Motorcycle School Nottingham, PA 19362

Fantastic experience: I recently attended the one day ADV Rider course. There were 5 students that winter day, and conditions were what I would consider perfect for the lessons presented--cool weather and slightly sketchy traction. Just what one is likely to find on an adventure ride. Anyway, there was a variety of experience levels present, but everyone came away having learned, or improved upon, new skills. The course is considered basic, and it did stress the basics, but by mastering these techniques one becomes more proficient and comfortable on the motorcycle. Speaking for myself, the instructor was very patient and took all the time I needed to answer my questions and make sure I understood what he was explaining. He would describe the lesson and then demonstrate it on his motorcycle so we would see just what he wanted us to work on. As the day went on, I found I was gaining confidence by applying the lessons we had been building on so that by the end of the day, when we did a ride around the farm and on some wooded trails, I was much more relaxed and putting into practice the techniques I had learned. Being a fairly new, older rider, I was a bit nervous that I would be in over my head even though the course is described as basic. That concern was quickly put to rest by the crawl-walk-run approach used. I now feel that, by continuing to work on these basic skills I now have, I can take further training. So to sum up, even though I got just about what I had hoped for by taking this course, it did leave me with a strong desire to continue training, knowing that I have the fundamentals now that will serve as the base to build from. And even if I don't take any further classes, I am much better prepared for the type of riding I like to do. But to come away from any educational endeavor with a desire to go back for more shows that the course and instructor have succeeded. Thanks!

Negative experience: I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at the Nottingham location. I booked the 6-11 year old CRE beginner dirtbike class for my daughter. I informed them she had NO experience with dirtbikes. I expected her to be in a class with other children in that age group. Reality was quite different. When we arrived my daughter and I were both placed in a group with 5 other people. 3 experienced adults, 1 experienced older teen and 2 inexperienced 14-ish year old boys. When the class began the instructor began reading from a MSF instructor handbook. He was rushing, rapid-fire through what he was reading. Then he began to give instructions on how to start the dirtbike and continued in the same manner, rushing as if he was late for a date and just wanted to get through the material so he could leave. When my daughter got upset because she did not understand anything, his manner with her was impatient and brisk. We asked him to go through it again with the same results. After the 3rd time he said it was clear she did not want to do this and he could not go over it again and he was not going to hold up the rest of the class just for her. My daughter was so embarrassed and upset she just left the class. It was very clear to me this "instructor" had very little experience teaching children and no desire, really, to do so. When I questioned how he could expect children to understand with him going os fast he became condescending and stated that 6 year olds and adults got the exact same class and it was set up exactly like this. And he could not be held responsible for what happened since my daughter clearly did not want to be here. There was also the issue of the 14 year old boys and their irresponsible behaviour that the instructor just ignored instead of stopping the class to correct it. The boys were constantly riding too close to others, cutting people off and not paying attention. The instructor would say a brief statement about it not following close but never addressed the boys specifically and the behaviour was allowed to continue. I feel like this company was only concerned with taking people's money rather than on any learning.

Fantastic experience: One word. Amazing!!

Fantastic experience: I am shocked that there are not more reviews for Xplor-Int! The Intro to Adventure Riding Training Course easily exceeded my expectations. I now feel that I have a strong understanding of the fundamentals and a tool box of training exercises that correlate directly to real world situations. not to mention the amazing Adventure Tour through the Green Ridge State Forest! I strongly recommend this course.

Negative experience: Was visiting Maryland from for the weekend.Been calling this place Friday all day,all day Saturday and partial Sunday.sent messages sent email.no response and all..does this place still exist!!

Positive experience: Can you just rent a bike or use your own to just ride for fun
