REAL ADVENTURE.

Learning to ride starts with confidence.

Founded by Phil and Renee Anderson, Learn Dirt Bikes grew from their longtime involvement in the motorcycle community. The couple started P&R Sports in 1999 and added the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Dirt Bike Course in 2004.

A lifetime of riding experience.

Phil has been around motorcycles since childhood. His father founded Sand Hill Ranch Motorcycle Park in 1973, and by age 17, Phil had earned AMA District 36 Black Plate #2. Throughout his life, he has raced, taught, mentored, and coached riders, bringing decades of hands-on experience to every class.

Personal instruction. A supportive experience.

Phil leads the riding instruction while Renee manages administration, assists during lessons, and helps coordinate dirt bike rentals.

With no more than five students per class, every rider receives individual attention and the opportunity to develop skills at a comfortable pace.

Loaner dirt bikes, helmets, and other safety equipment are available.
