This is cool, this is a must for the kids. I took the class in the upper desert and it was well worth my time...
Thanks in advance for this oppertunity, ths kids are doing this for sure...

Yeah, no problem! Be sure to pre-register because there are limited spots for the courses!

Bummer that they dont take the smaller ones....

The Smaller kids?? Not sure what you meant by this

Meaning that my son is 3 (4 in July) and I would love to get him in on this.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean! It would be nice to start the young ones off early...teach them while they're young and hopefully before they learn any bad habits

Bummer the 12 yr olds have to ride 70-90cc machines, we don't have one.

My son's been riding his 400 for 3 yrs.

We are all certified. Even got money back from Suzuki and Yamaha. I still don't understand why people pass on this free service.

^^ He could borrow Jordan's 90 for the class. Since Jordan is 9 he will need to ride a 50? Damn. He is already almost too big for his 90.

Aww man, that's the weekend of the Regatta too.

There's a lot of activities in Glamis this weekend, but check out the schedule at www.sandaddiction.com/easter and hopefully people can make it to some of the events...it's going to be alot of fun for the whole family

I thought younger kids could participate as observers and get their certificate too?

We did it too and got our money back also
My 16 year old is certified also...but not the 7 year old (we don't have a 50cc quad for her to use, she rides a 90)

Our son is 6 and we want to get him certified too. He currently rides a 90, so we're going to have to borrow our niece's quad, so that he can take the class. Kind of a hassle, but well worth the trouble to ensure his knowledge and safety!

I'm not sure about that, because they actually have us rope off an area to do the training in...you might call the institute and ask them about it. Perhaps they do a different type of class for the younger kids.
