ProRider Is America's Premier Advanced Motorcycle Training School That Specializes In Teaching The Motor Officer Techniques!
Our motorcycle training classes are so unique that you can't afford to miss them, your life may depend on it! ProRider Inland Northwest's advanced motorcycle training classes teach the same training exercises used by police motor officers and motorcycle rodeo competitors.
We will teach you to apply tried and true riding techniques that are proven to improve your riding ability and riding confidence. Classes cover low speed maneuvers, confined space turns, crash avoidance, and various braking challenges.
ProRider courses are conducted by police motor officers and civilians who have successfully completed police motor school.
If you're an experienced rider who desires to take your riding skills to the next level, increase your abilities, and have fun in the process... come ride with us in an upcoming class.
In our classes, riders will:
• "Bond" with their personal motorcycles and familiarize with the bike's full capabilities and limitations.
• Learn and practice low-speed techniques that are perfect for those pesky parking lots and tight turnarounds (...and when you want to impress your friends, or passenger).
• Practice braking, evasive maneuvers, and hazard avoidance exercises that may save your ride and your hide from serious damage, injury, or death.

Erik Bogdanowicz
Owner/Instructor
I have been riding motorcycles for almost 40 years, mainly cruiser style motorcycles. The police motor officer training that I received to become a ProRider instructor has made me a better, safer rider. I am excited to share that training through the ProRider courses that I am offering to riders in the Inland Northwest.
ProRider's Mission
ProRider aims to provide a challenging, fun and safe learning environment that will allow participants to enhance their riding experience by developing rock solid confidence on the road and gaining ultimate control of their ride.
A Little About ProRider
Thank you for visiting my ProRider website and taking a few minutes to learn more about ProRider. Throughout the website, you can read up on the classes that we offer and the people that make things happen, but in this section I want to provide you with the background on how ProRider "came to be."
After realizing the value gained by police officers who complete motor school, we began looking at the motorcycle training options available to civilians and were disappointed to learn that there weren't many. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation, Idaho Star, and the Harley Riding Academy do a great job of providing basic training to beginners and intermediate/refresher training to experienced riders. However, there was no training available that was comparable to the advanced skills taught in police courses. There is nothing secretive about these skills, nothing that is going to compromise officer safety if learned by the public, they simply aren't incorporated into any civilian classes.
Upon realizing that there was huge opportunity to bring advanced skills to civilian riders, we began talking to a number of police motorcycle officers and other instructors and obtaining feedback and ideas. There was overwhelming support for the idea of creating a civilian riding course that is truly modeled from police motorcycle exercises and techniques; and not just the low-speed work but the crash avoidance, proper threshold braking, and street skills as well.
With the collaboration and input from other motor officer instructors we developed three challenging, fun, and rewarding course options for experienced riders that want to take their riding abilities to a new level: Advanced Riders Course, Precision and Control Course, and the Defensive Riding Course. Classes kicked off in Fall of 2013, and has since expanded nationwide.
Each Training Site is independently licensed and operated, but meets a rigorous approval process and conforms to the high standards established by ProRider. While each Training Site and every instructor brings their own personal flare and touch to the learning process, every affiliate of ProRider is committed to providing an exceptional training experience and giving riders the tools and confidence they need to develop their maximum riding potential.
Come ride with us in an upcoming ProRider class!
Don't believe us, believe them
Once again, I attended another ProRider class. All I can say is, it doesn’t get any better than this for advancing your skills. BJ is one hell of an instructor. I HIGHLY recommend this class to anyone who rides. Thanks BJ and family for the excellent training."
Kevin McCann
Took this class in Gettysburg, great class, lots of life saving techniques learned. Well worth the time and money. Coop, Brian, and Dave were top notch instructors"
Dennis D
(MSF Instructor)
Can't say enough good things about the class and the instructors.The instructors are fantastic and into making sure that you gain skills and knowledge to improve your ride. This course is great for all levels of riders. Talking up to my friends since I got back home, and that was only today. Thanks ProRider!"

There are many things that money can't buy. Love, happiness, manners.... etc. However, money CAN buy skills training for handling your motorcycle. ProRider Pittsburgh is the absolute best way to gain those crucial handling skills that you may not have even known you needed. I have taken this class 3 times in 2 years, and I plan to make this class an annual event. BJ McMullan and his talented group of professional Police Officer and EMS Responder instructors never fail to instill skill and inspire me to push further on my nearly 1000lb motorcycle than I ever thought I could. If you think you can, you can. No matter what you ride, the best investment you can make is learning how to ride with the pro's!"
Jason Martino
Thanks for a great session yesterday. After watching some ProRider videos online, I thought that there was no way I could ever do these drills like that. My bike was too low, too long and too heavy, and I just wasn't that good of a rider despite 15 years’ experience. I gave it a shot though, and boy was I wrong! Using the techniques, you and the other instructors taught us, I was able to do things on my bike that I never thought possible. I still can't believe that I was able to do the Double 360 and the Iron Cross, I feel safer and more confident on the bike now, and I also picked up a lot of great riding tips that will keep me safe when on the road. Believe me, if I can learn to do these techniques, anyone can. If people are hesitant, they should just sign up and come out, they WILL become a better rider."
David Schneider
After more than 40 years of riding motorcycles, I took this course and came away with more confidence than ever. Some of the skills I learned were things I had already been doing, but it was nice to learn why and the physics behind it. I plan on taking the course again, to both improve my skills further and also just for the enjoyment of it. I highly recommend it to anyone that rides."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q - Do you provide a motorcycle, or do I use my own bike in the course?
A - Since ProRider classes are designed to help you handle your bike with greater ease and confidence, the classes are conducted on your own bike, allowing you to truly learn it's dynamics, handling, capabilities and limitations.
Q - Will I receive a discount on my motorcycle insurance for taking this course?
A - We provide a training certificate that many insurance companies honor and many do offer a discount on your insurance rates upon successful completion of this course. You may want to contact your agent for more details and to find out if you are eligible for a discount upon completion of this course.
Q - What kind of bike can I bring to the course?
A - The best bikes for this course are ones that are close to factory stock - most any street-legal motorcycle can do these exercises, but bikes with tall handlebars (ape hangers), sport bikes with lengthened swing arms, and dual-purpose bikes (street/dirt) with off road knobby tires will have difficulty in the course. Feel free to contact your local instructor with any bike modification questions.
Q - I'm new to riding - is this course for me?
A - We recommend that you have some riding experience - at least a season under your belt - or have successfully completed an MSF rider class or equivalent school prior to attending this course. ProRider is aimed for experienced riders who have successfully completed these other classes and are looking for the "next level" of challenge and improvement. This class is beyond the level of training you receive from MSF type classes.
Q - If I have been through the Motorcycle Safety Foundation or Rider's Edge Courses, do I need ProRider Training?
A - Yes you do, we are an advanced training that teaches Police Motorcycle Skills that are only taught in the 80 hour police motorcycle training. This class is the next level of training that will improve your riding ability and riding confidence and may save your life!
Q - I've been riding for years. Will I learn anything in this course?
A - Absolutely! Many of our instructors are seasoned police motorcycle officers who have worked many crashes involving "experienced riders." Often, these riders have the crash avoidance "head knowledge" but have never physically practiced those maneuvers and developed the appropriate "muscle memory" to successfully implement them. You will leave this class a better rider!
Q - Is this a rain or shine class?
A - While we should develop skills for all types of weather, we don't like unnecessary risk. Many of the exercises, especially the crash avoidance skills, require a dry surface for maximum safety. Each ProRider Training Site will closely monitor weather forecasts prior to the class and offer rain dates if the crash avoidance portion must be postponed or cancelled.
Q - Will I drop my bike? I do not want to damage it.
A - Far more bikes are dropped in a basic MSF or Idaho Star class than at ProRider. The only way to guarantee that you will not drop your bike is never to take it out of the garage or leave your driveway. Unfortunately, even in the most basic MSF and Idaho Star classes people sometimes drop their bikes. However, we make every effort to help you safely perform these exercises without risk to you or your bike. Our exercises start "slow and wide" and we gradually increase the challenge as your gain confidence and skill. While we do not predict or anticipate bikes "dropping", we do provide you with the opportunity to remove your saddlebags, wrap your engine guards with rubber hose, or take other safeguarding measures. We do not anticipate any injures or any damage to any motorcycles. We have had a few students rent motorcycles for this training and after the training was completed, they all stated that they should have brought their own bike.
