Learn to Ride

LEARN TO RIDE WITH BARNES POWERSPORTS

Learn to Ride is the perfect riding skills program for all ages.
 
Every lesson is led by 3 of our Blackfoot Certified Off-road Training Professionals, with groups kept to under 12 kids at a time, so we have a 1:4 ratio between coaches and riders.
 
For your convenience, we have 2 Oset minibikes, 4 Kawasaki KLX110’s and 4 KLX140’s available for the kids to learn on, as well as full riding gear supplied by Fox, so riders are protected. You are also welcome to bring your own bike and riding gear.
