The Ride Like a Pro Advanced Motorcycle Skills Training Class helped give me the confidence and greater competence in handling slow and moderate speed maneuverability, making riding much more enjoyable, but also feeling much safer with the skills necessary to avoid or get out of dangerous situations in a more controlled manner.I came into this course with four years of street cruiser riding, some prior off-road dirt bike experience, and the basic motorcycle safety training course, and found myself somewhere in the middle of the group as far as experience and capabilities on the bike. Ive watched videos, and practiced on my own, but the in-person instruction and feedback that I got from Jeff Roehrig, the course instructor, (assisted by his wife Tina) really made a difference in improving and advancing my knowledge and skills, as well as confidence on the bike.I was somewhat nervous going into the training, not knowing what to expect, and afraid of dropping my bike, but Jeff walked us through each exercise, provided demonstrations, and addressed concerns about dropping the bike, and his professional and positive approach to the training made me feel much more comfortable and able to relax and enjoy the training, and as a result I was able to get a lot more out of it.Id highly recommend this course to anyone that wants to build on a good foundation of skills and experience, even if you have a lot of experience and training, in order to develop and maintain that muscle memory for better control and handling at slower speeds and riding enjoyment, but especially to be able to respond quickly and safely in dangerous situations when there is very little time to think about how to respond.

My wife signed me up for the class as a birthday present. The class was a great learning experience. Even after 40 years of riding street bikes, there is always something to get better at. I highly recommend the class for riders of all skill levels. Jeff is a great instructor and makes the class informative and fun. We had a great group of guys in the class that also added to the fun.

The course is excellent. Jeff and Tina are wonderful instructors. They give you the tools you need to succeed and the patience and understanding for you to learn how to use those tools. My first time through, I failed at completing some exercises. I wasnt willing to commit myself and trust Jeffs direction. After some practice at home (and a dropped bike), I was able to complete the U-turn. One those helpful tools is learning how to pick up your 900 lb motorcycle. I will be heading back to take this course again. This course is a must for someone who doesnt just want to ride, but wants to ride like a pro!

If you consider yourself a serious rider, this is a course you must take. It was humbling, but it also taught me so much. Learning to moderate the clutch and rear brake can take your skills to the next level.Jeff is an incredible teacher. He and his wife present this course extremely well. Patient, encouraging, and very knowledgable. I highly recommend taking this course. It challenged me, but i thoroughly enjoyed the course and definitely walked away a more skilled and better educated rider.

I needed help making u turns and to feel more confident with slow speed maneuvering. Especially with parking the bike on runs and at rallies . It was embarrassing to ask my passenger to get off of the bike so I could go park the bike.The ride like a pro class in Pittsburgh changed my life . The instructor was very informative and patient. I rode away feeling more confident. I learned a lot. This is a great place to learn. No one there was judging … a lot of support from fellow riders -classmates.

The level 2 class really increased and refined my skills. Jeff helped me with something I couldnt do consistently. Not intimidated by tight situations out on the streets which is a real blessing. Recently entered a motorcycle skills competition and placed 3rd in the novice class. Hats off to Tina and Jeff .

This course is very challenging and not for the faint of heart. I found it even more daunting being the only woman in the class. Tina’s consistent encouragement helped me keep both wheels on the ground.Jeff, the instructor, does a great job explaining the techniques and modeling them as well. It was difficult for me to simultaneously apply all the tactics and correctly navigate through the range. I struggled with accurately identifying the course layout… and not quickly knowing where to be to set my bike up for the next turn.I appreciated the one-on-one instruction Jeff provided after each exercise. Getting the immediate feedback enabled me to make accurate corrections which allowed me to continuously improve my skills throughout the day. I didn’t leave the course being able to ride like a pro. However, I learned the three foundational techniques needed to ride like a pro.Taking the class definitely enhanced my motorcycle skills… and that alone made this course a good value. Tina and Jeff make this course a good experience for all riders. Expectations and techniques are communicated effectively, riding assessments are given immediately and their service skills and professionalism are unmatched. I highly recommend taking this course if you want to improve your ability to handle your bike at a low rate of speed.Jeff and Tina, you make an awesome team! Continue utilizing each others strengths… and Ride Like a Pro Pittsburgh will reach levels of success beyond your imaginations.

As this was my first formal training in motorcycle riding after riding over 25 years, Jeff showed me the techniques needed to keep my big goldwing behaving how I want it to at slower speeds. Now its up to me to keep practicing and make it all muscle memory for those situations that are more than just hitting an orange cone. Thanks Jeff

I really enjoyed todays class. I have my work cut out for me practicing what I learned today. Jeff did a great job helping me see both big and small things I can incorporate into what Ive already been doing to make huge improvements. He was very patient and approached everyone where they found themselves skill wise. Everybody really seemed to have fun and come away with improved skills and confidence... I know I did!

This course was really fun. Jeff and Tina were great. You will have the opportunity to run through a bunch of drills a few times. The drills are tough and really force you to improve skills like throttle and clutch control, rear brake, and turning your head to look where you want to go. You will absolutely leave a better rider than when you showed up. Highly recommend to all riders no matter how long youve been riding.

I just took the course with Jeff this weekend. The exercises weren’t easy, and I certainly have a lot more practice to go before I’m a pro, but the class was great. Tina keeps all of the logistics flowing smoothly and Jeff is a very dedicated instructor. I felt like I learned new skills and came out as a better rider.

Took this class at the end of summer and could not have had a better experience! Jeffs teaching style is very welcoming and confidence inspiring. Ive been riding off and on for about 8 years and just bought a Road King two months prior to taking the class. Just a few hours with Jeff and Im no longer doubting my abilities in slow speed scenarios. My wife even commented on how that short class improved my riding. WELL WORTH the money and time regardless of how long youve been riding!

I took this Ride Like a Pro course after riding for 41 years (started riding at age 14). My main goal was to learn how to make a quick and safe U-turn on the motorcycle. In order to do this correctly, we first had to learn how to control the bike using the “friction zone” in combination with the rear brake, head and eyes. The instructor and owner of Ride Like a Pro Pittsburgh is Jeff Roehrig. Jeff has an excellent method for teaching how to get into the friction zone and use it to complete the course. He was patient and explained every step of the course along the way. I now have the skills and knowledge to take home with me and practice on a regular basis in order to fine tune these skills. I HIGHLY recommend this course and in particular our instructor, Jeff.

I just completed the Ride Like Pro course on July 11th, 2020. I made in through all of the required exercises, although I obviously can still use more exercise on all of them to become more proficient.The course was outstanding and I learned a ton of new skills, tips and tricks to help settle my nerves when making tight maneuvers with a ~650lb bike at slow speeds that I plan on continuing to sharpen. I learned how to properly use the the friction zone, head and eyes all while utilizing the rear brake to maintain my speed and stability.You will not regret taking this class. It is worth the time and money. You will immediately put what you learned to use and you will be amazed at how easy it really is. I still have a lot to learn, but now I know what to work on to make myself a better and more successful/cautious rider.The one piece of advice I would give to riders on the fence about taking this course would be not to worry about embarrassing yourself. Jeff and Tina have seen it all and they really want to make you a better, safer rider.
