ProRider is an "Advanced" motorcycle training school meaning you are NOT learning from scratch. "Advanced" simply means you know how to ride and you have a motorcycle to train on. You will greatly improve your skill while mastering the motorcycle you normally ride!
​
Welcome to ProRider Richmond We're taking your riding skills to a whole new level! We will teach you to master the same skills police motor officers use daily across the country!

Don't just take our word for it...
Hear what our students had to say about the class

"So, the ProRider Richmond class is already paying off. While riding home from work today, an elderly gentleman turned into my lane. I was about 45mph when he pulled out as I had just entered the intersection. Quick mirror check and lane change, went right around him, One of the exercised we did Saturday was obstacle avoidance at higher speeds. Paid off today." - Larry C.
"Today was amazing with knowledge any video can't teach you. The instructor was knowledgeable and demonstrated every stage of training. I highly recommend ProRider Richmond."- Tony L.
"Get signed up you won’t regret it! Only 2 days after taking this course I was riding on I-75 and a couch & cushions came loose from a trailer and flew back into my lane, and if it wasn’t for the skills I sharpened from this training I would have laid my bike down. "- @monica_harleygirl
"The ProRider Richmond Course was great. Totally worth it. It really pushes your ability making you a better rider. Daniel is a great instructor. I would take it again in a heartbeat.- Joe
"This was a great class with a great group of guys. Excellent instructors. This class has improved my maneuverability on the bike. Thanks for the opportunity. Looking forward to additional classes/rides."- Eric
"The defensive rider course I took under Instructor Daniel Deaton offered me lots of techniques to avoid common causes of motorcycle accidents. He patiently explains and demonstrates every maneuver and then gives you plenty of time to practice them. He keeps his classes small so that everyone gets the one on one advice and instruction that can benefit them. I feel so much more confident and empowered to ride after taking this class. I am a fairly new rider but there were very experienced riders in my class, and we all had a great time and came away with some new or refreshed skills. I would definitely suggest any motorcyclists take this course at ProRider Richmond."- Susan
I am 62 yrs old and have been riding a motorcycle most of my life. This past weekend I took the ProRider defensive riding class. I ride an HD bagger which weighs over 800 lbs. I think this class made me feel more comfortable in controlling my bike most especially in hard braking.
Daniel is an excellent instructor and I highly recommend this class to everyone no matter your skill level." - David
"I looked for riding classes outside of the basic licensing class. I found ProRider by word of mouth and social media. The owner of ProRider is a Motor Officer and most of all someone who wants other motorcyclists to gain knowledge and skills to keep them safer on the roads. I paid the money and was contacted quickly as well as any questions or concerns answered. I came to the class nervous and was welcomed right away. I had like most people watched videos and read about how to hone your skills. I can tell you that while videos are helpful they are nothing compared to actually coming to ProRider Richmond. Not only was every stage explained and demonstrated by Daniel he would literally be right there to encourage and talk you through everything. What I learned that day and practiced of object avoidance and maneuvering after the class has helped me and without a doubt keeping me a safer rider. I Highly recommend ProRider Richmond, It’s what you learn after you know that will make you better."- Tony
"Awesome course and awesome instructor! Thank you for the opportunity, I highly recommend this course to even the most seasoned riders!"-- Kenny
"If you want to test your skills, this is the class to take. I ride a sport bike and learning how to do tight twists and turns only improved my riding, confidence, and skills! The instructor was patient and willing to help me learn at a good pace, when I get another bike I’ll definitely be taking this class again!"- Katie
"Great course!!! I took the advance course combining defensive and precision riding. Highly recommend this class to anyone. It forced me out of my comfort zone and into the friction zone! I had watched videos, played in parking lots, and practiced whenever possible but this course forced me to not cheat myself out of tighter turns and keep my feet off the ground. I had ridden years ago with a long break in-between and when they say it is a perishable skill there is no truer statement. Daniel offers riders who take his course to come back and practice each time he holds a new one. I am planning on attending as many as I can.
On a side note if you are riding a cruiser style bike I would highly recommend getting a set of motorcycle drop guards on your machine. I ride a brand new 2024 Harley Davidson Street Glide and installed them prior to taking the course. The slow speeds you will be riding on the precision course along with the drop guards will protect your investment. I only dropped mine once but there was zero damage. Even with a 5" exhaust nothing but the drop guards, and my ego made contact with the pavement. Daniel has a link for them on his website."- Chad
"I have been riding almost all of my life... I knew some of my skills were pretty rusty. I was in the seventeenth of may class of this year and I learned a lot. The instructor was very patient and encouraging even when I was a little upset at myself. I will be going back whenever I get a chance to refresh my skills... Some of them still need some work. But all in all, I do recommend this class even for seasoned riders."- John
"This was the very best motorcycle training I have ever taken. Definitely learned a lot and want to do more training and everyone kept it fun and positive."- George
"I have been operating a motorcycle off and on for around 43 years. Today I learned to really ride a motorcycle and improved my skills. I am nowhere close to where I want my skill level, but I got a great foundation started today. I would highly recommend this course to anyone spending time on two wheels. It could be a lifesaver."- Larry
