Chris Johnson
Chris began his motorcycling journey a long, long time ago as a young man in England. After taking the CBT (compulsory basic training), and after making a lot of mistakes in his rider's choices, he found himself doing motorcycle track days. That's where he first discovered the value of training, and set upon his journey to become an instructor.
In 2008 Chris became a Washington State certified MSF instructor and went on to become a Washington State motorcycle training contractor. Since then he has authored multiple national training curricula and has been published in multiple traffic safety publications. He was an Authorized Heavy Vehicle Driving Assessor for TNT Express and a hazmat-certified operator for the British Armed Forces. As a former BEMSEE and WMRRA Sport Bike Racer, Chris understands the passion for speed, but more importantly, the need for training.
He has trained racers and professional riders and drivers, and even Washington State motorcycle officers.
Skills before tests.
Plenty of schools teach to the test. We teach to the road. Our curriculum sequences range exercises so you build the muscle memory before you encounter the testing scenario.
By the time the DOL examiner asks you to swerve, you'll have practiced it thirty times. By the time you have to make a real-world emergency stop, your hands will already know what to do.
