I attended one of these workshops in Calgary last fall with my dad, it was our first class of any type and we went on to do a full 2-day course early in the season. Really excited to see our brothers and sisters down south are getting this program now too. Play safe kids!

Post #3, according to Mike, call the dealer the class will be at.

BRP classes filling up

Over 450 people have attended the classes in the US so far. The response has been great. Thank you BRP!

Make sure you check with the dealer in advance of the class as some locations have limited space.

Thanks to all those who have attended. Mike Duffy

Matte Murder · Nov 7, 2011

I took the class at Clems's in Enumclaw, WA. I didn't expect much for a 4 hour class but I figured any training is worthwhile. WOW was I impressed! I have taken another one night class and didn't get a lot out of it. I have also did on the snow training with Dan Adams in his Next Level Riding Clinic and that was really good. Mike did an excellent job presenting his material and the class is aimed right at snowmobilers so it was extremely relevant to me and what I am doing in the mountains. At no time did I get bored. He used some video that was really good. I would have paid 10 times as much as this class cost. Glad it was free. Thank you very much BRP and Clem's. Thank you Mike for doing such a great job in putting together a great program and presenting it in such a way as to make it interesting and informative.
