10/5 Stars Best Investment in My Riding Confidence! I recently took the Moto Survival School at Apex Racing Center, and I can honestly say this was one of the most valuable riding experiences I've ever had. The class was tailored to each rider's skill level, so whether you're newer or more experienced, you'll walk away with tangible improvements. The class was a full 8 hours, and not once did it feel like time was dragging. The student-to-instructor ratio (6 students to 3 instructors!) meant we got real time feedback while we were still riding, which helped me immediately apply corrections instead of waiting for a debrief. That alone made a huge difference in how much I improved. Bucky, one of the instructors, broke down the actual physics behind maneuvers, which made everything click in a new way for me. As a woman in a male dominated sport, it can be intimidating but their team, including a female instructor, made me feel seen, supported, and encouraged. Their approach to correction was gentle, specific, and confidence boosting. You can bring your own bike or rent one of their well maintained 300's. The facilities were decent, nothing fancy, but the instruction and ride time far outweighed anything else. By the end of the day, I felt so much more confident, knew exactly what to work on next, and honestly left feeling proud of the progress I made. I'd recommend this to riders of any level. There is always room to grow, and this team knows exactly how to help you do that. If I could give it a 10/5, I would. Worth every penny read more

Bucky rocks - he's got a ton of experience, gave me a lot of confidence for my first track day, and a lot of 1:1 attention. I felt like I had never learned how to ride before after 10 years of street riding! I can't wait to go back and master the fundamentals Bucky doesn't waste money on fancy bikes or ads, instead he gives top-tier professional coaching at an approachable price. read more

I am a beginner (1 year experience) rider that does mostly street and light canyon riding. In the short time I've been riding, I've taken about 8 courses to improve my riding ability and Moto Survival School was by far the best one. It was my second time ever on the track, so I had a lot to work on. Bucky did a great job on meeting me where I was at and explaining everything I needed to work on. He went in great detail over all of the fundamental concepts that I need to practice not only on the track, but with any type of riding. It was truly a game-changer and I had a lot of lightbulb moments. Since then, I've noticed a big change on my riding ability in my every day riding and canyon runs. The amount of value provided is definitely worth the time and money for any rider of any skill level. Will be doing it again in the near future. Highly recommend! read more

Im a B group track rider with 6 track days under my belt. I have been wanting to do this school for awhile since seeing some of Buckys vids. My experience was pretty epic. There were 2 new racers in my class that were already at a very high skill level. It was amazing hearing Bucky and these guys discussing high level racing topics and techniques. It really put into perspective how much I have to learn. Definitely bring a notepad no matter your skill level. I have tons of tips and tricks to work on the next time I hit the track. I plan on returning with some buddies to do the class again. 10/10 read more

So glad that I took this class and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their riding skills (on or off the track)! Bucky and Sylvia are both amazing instructors who take a lot of consideration to tailor the course to fit individual student needs. The quality of instruction, level of effort, and care for students are unmatched. You get ample track time and individualized coaching with a reasonable student to instructor ratio. This class is meant for all types of riders. You will definitely learn something and improve on skill after taking this course. Great job to Bucky and team! Thanks for putting your heart into this, especially for your students - it shows! read more

As a primarily street rider with 10 years of riding under my belt, I learned a ton at Moto Survival School with Bucky. There are lots of things to consider while riding to the best of your abilities, and naturally there will be things that will need improvement in your moto skill book. Bucky's class will help breakdown the fundamentals in an approachable and applicable manner. Bucky will excellently articulate areas of improvement in your riding and help you break through barriers you may not know were holding you back to begin with! I cannot recommend this class enough to both new and experienced riders. There is no better way to make breakthroughs safely than on a track and a mentor. read more

Bucky's school is always top notch! My youngest son has been to his school twice and will definitely be going back again. Bucky teaches in a very calm and controlled environment. He gives amazing attention to detail and can relate to everyone. His teaching/coaching style is among the best I've seen! read more

Bucky and Moto Survival School was worth every penny. I not only had fun for the day but learned so many skills in such a short period. If we are going to start track riding, take this class early so you can start learning how to track ride correctly and safely. read more

I have been riding since I was 14 years old (I am 34 now) And I have had various mentors over the years but none have been as exceptional as Bucky. He is not only an exceptional rider, He possesses a unique talent for articulating comple riding techniques in a way that truly resonates with his students. Under his guidance, I have seen remarkable improvement in my riding skills. I highly recommend Moto Survival School to anyone looking to enhance their riding abilitie. Thank you Bucky! read more

If you're looking to improve your riding skills, contact Bucky asap!! My first class was at Streets of Willow on 06/01. I took a took too early and drove myself off the track. My second class was this past weekend 10/13 at Apex and it was 100% worth it. Bucky was able to help me focus on timing my turns properly thus keeping me safe for any future rides and track days. If you're looking for a more private coaching experience, book a day at Apex or Adam's! But if you're ready for a bigger track, I would recommend Streets of Willow. read more

If you want heaps of personal attention, from a top notch rider / trainer, Moto Survival School is the place to go. I should know - I have attended several of the other top moto schools and never experienced this level of attentiveness and coaching that was so specific to me. Not even close. Bucky keeps the class sizes small so that the instruction is personalized, not the usual general ed stuff - it was specific to me and where I am as a rider. While off the track, and discussing skills, process and technique, our class witnessed a student from another school crash in a tight corner (there were a few that from that school that did so throughout the day) we were able to talk through where that rider went wrong and how their crash could have been avoided, which made the day even more impactful PS - The school's R3 was in perfect condition and really fun to ride! I look forward to my next session asap! read more

Highly recommend to feel more confident when riding. I have never ride on a track before and not taken much lessons other than passing the test to get my motorcycle license. They make it very accessable to learn with rentable 300cc motorcycle. Also professional track teachers to teach you the basics and guidance even after the day course. The instructor will record a lap of you riding and give you pointers couple days after the class, so you can review, learn, and improve. Also send you epic riding photos of you. The class is generally 4-5 people so you get more 1 on 1 time. Just 1 day of riding I was able to turn into a corner faster than I ever before. There is much to learn, if I wanted to ride on the track. For my purposes the fundamentals was what I wanted so I can ride safer and with more confidence. 125% recommended read more

Great coaching by Bucky and his special guest. Easy to understand drills and one on one coaching really helps you become a safer, faster rider. read more

Moto Survival school is the best riding class I've taken so far. When I first heard of Moto Survival School, I was not sure if it was really for me. I was following Bucky on Instagram for a while and have seen him going super fast on twisties and riding with MotoGP racers on the track. But I have been riding mostly for commute and am definitely not a knee-dragging kind of rider. So I thought my skill level was not there yet to take a class with him. However, after talking to a friend who took his class and Bucky himself, I decided that I could definitely learn something even if I can't learn everything they teach. The class size is very small-- there were four students and two instructors-- so you get lots of attention. After a few sighting laps, they noticed my skill level, or rather the lack thereof, and told me to ride without using brakes. Yep. No brakes. Honestly, I was like, "....WUT?" But this practice made me focus on my corner entering speed, correct lines, and hitting the apex. By the end of the day, I made noticeable progress in my riding. I really like that at Moto Survival School, you can learn at your own speed (no pun intended). In a typical class, riding or any other skills like math, you usually get some lectures and do some drills. Oftentimes, the class moves on to the next topic, whether you master the previous skill or not. This is not the case here. It is very much tailored to your skill level and needs, and you can practice what you need to work on all day. And I cannot emphasize enough that it is so much FUN!! The class fee includes lunch, a t-shirt, pictures, and your riding videos with notes which helped me actually see what I was doing right or wrong. I already signed up for another class with Bucky. If you haven't signed up yet, do so now. Highly recommended. read more

Great School. Bucky doesn't skimp on knowledge. Each session you go out with a purpose, and we got to ride alot. The R3's were awesome and confidence inspiring. Liked the brake drills alot. I was able to trail brake longer in places that I should since the track was smaller, and the bike was more forgiving. I think I can transfer that skill over to the big tracks. Loved the school! -Sung read more

My brother and I absolutely loved this class. I wanted my brother to learn some of the basics of riding before he started tying to go faster. Bucky had him working on the fundamentals. By the end of the class he was braking so much later and his body position had improved drastically. I also learned a lot when it came to my foot positioning and when to shift my butt over. It is also super handy to be able to show up with no gear, no bike, no food, and be able to ride a race bike on a race track with expert coaches and have photos and film to further analyze your riding. Thanks Bucky and Tyler for the coaching! We will be back! read more

Loved every minute of it! Excellent 1 on 1 instruction from Bucky and Coach Sylvia throughout the entire day. I have been riding sport bikes for 20 years, never a super fast guy...But with a few more sessions at Moto Survival School I definitely feel like I will be my fastest and safest ever! I am 6'2" 175lb guy and the small but nimble R3 was still comfortable to ride on track all day for several sessions. I could feel myself getting better and better every lap. You absolutely cannot beat the price for a full day of motorcycle instruction with the bike included, lunch and the whole nine. Grab your buds and challenge yourself to be a better rider with Bucky. You won't regret it. I also gotta say this track and bike size made it so much less intimidating for practicing your lines and skills compared to the larger tracks and bigger bikes, but the track is also tight and technical so not too easy either. read more

Been coming back to this school at least 6 times now! I can even describe how amazing this school is with how much they teach you in one day. Bucky covers all riders of all skill levels from beginners to experts. He makes sure that you achieve whatever goal you may have prior to taking this class on the day of your class. But above all, the class is super fun and most of other students are really cool and root for each other to succeed that day. You get more track sessions that you normally get and the class lectures a great with one of one coaching which I feel almost like a one on one private class. Definitely take this course as it has helped me improve riding in the street and canyons to be safer. read more

A friend of mine suggested this school to me. I wanted to learn the safe way of getting fast and comfortable on a motorcycle. Taking this class with Buckey and Nick was an amazing experience. I felt myself get more comfortable and relaxed with their input. I would recommend this class to anyone serious about becoming a faster/ safer rider. read more

I've been riding on the street for about five years and considered myself decent, but Bucky gave me some tips to handle my machine even better! He has a roster of several instructors that help him instruct/ take thirsty riding pics. All the instructors were super encouraging and his fleet of R3s are a blast. I would highly recommend this course for new riders as well as seasoned riders as well! I've been twice now to the course at Apex and next time we will try a new track. Need to make sure the skills learned aren't just muscle memory and are ingrained. It's a great excuse to spend the day with the homies and learn a new skill. read more

Bucky is a superb motorcycle coach and an all-around great person. Our class was small (4 students of varying levels of riding experience) with plenty of one-on-one attention from Bucky and a very special guest instructor (pro racer/champ) we were lucky to have join us that day. The progressive drills build comfort, and the small size of the track (Adams, on our day) reduces intimidation especially for newer riders. Each student was given plenty of guidance for areas for improvement, and were able to ask for more focused instruction on things they wanted to work on over the course of the day. This spanned from vision and braking skills that directly translate to the street, as well as more advanced topics that are generally more relevant for the track and/or canyons. Very grateful for the knowledge and experiences shared, and I look forward to another class next time I'm in LA! Thank you! read more

Signed up for Moto survival school, it was my first time on a track and Bucky was a great coach. He provides personal 1:1 coaching and lessons and has advice for many levels of riding. We had a small private group that day and each one of us got to receive feedback and tips which helped improve our skills each time we got on the track. Would definitely recommend this school to any level of rider who is looking to improve their riding skills regardless of track experience. read more

I can't recommend Bucky and Moto Survival enough!! I've always been afraid of lean angle and the idea of track riding. Bucky not only built up my confidence, but introduced amazing techniques for on and off track riding. The "small classroom" environment and 1:1 coaching is so helpful. He provides photos, videos and notes! This was a total game changer and I'm already signed up for my next track day with him! read more

This school is the absolute best value available in Moto training. I took a class with Bucky and Tyler a few months back and it was the single most productive day in my 15+ years of riding and 10 years of track days. I have taken all the big name riding schools across the country, and Moto Survival is easily the best and most complete option, and then some. Classes are kept small so it's practically private instruction, you will get thorough and enlightening feedback after every session. They don't just rattle off the same old riding advice, they tailor the day exactly to your skill level. School bikes are in pristine condition and are setup for a variety of heights and weights, I was plenty comfortable on their R3 all day at 6'4". Can't recommend this school enough, I plan to be going back regularly. read more

I took the class on 6/19/21 at Adams motorsports park. My first track experience, (been riding for maybe 6-7 months), I was concerned that the class would be over my head, but Bucky did a great job of tailoring the class to my specific needs/skills; with only 4 riders and 2 instructors it's as private as you can get without having to take out a personal loan. Early on I was struggling with a few turns, actually all the turns, and Tyler rode by and showed me the lines and entry speed. You will need to get use to him lapping you, he is just that fast. The bikes they provide are R3; there are no rider aids...it's great in teaching you the (fun)damentals, like when you brake and dump the clutch on down shift, with no slipper clutch,...the rear tires will tell you not to do that again... I'm looking at around September or October in taking the class again. They aren't about the money, I have to go out and used what I learned so I can come back with a whole new set of problems to solve! read more

Whether you're a track day veteran, an experienced street rider, just received your endorsement, or anything in between you will take something away from MotoSurvival School. The kart track setting results in very high value for your time and money. There is probably more actual seat time at these type of tracks than at the larger ones. The short lap times allow for very focused training and/or practice. You get a chance to fix any mistake you make within a minute or less! Most importantly, the coaching is top notch. Bucky is a talented rider and does a great job tailoring his coaching to the level of the rider. His comments on the video laps are accurate and really help riders see what they are doing and where they can improve. I will definitely be going back again! read more

Absolutely fantastic track school. I first met Bucky at Socal Supermoto (also highly recommended) and was meaning to attend his new school for awhile, and I'm so glad I finally had the chance. Bucky and Tyler are great guys who have a real talent for teaching and genuinely love to see their students improving throughout the day. It doesn't matter how fast you are, as long as you come looking to improve, you will have a blast and be a better rider. read more

This was an amazing day with great instruction from Bucky and Tyler. Want to thank them both for a great day on the track. I look forward to my next day at the track with Bucky and Tyler. Cannot wait to come back. read more

Highly recommend everyone do this. I did the 2 day lesson with Carter's at the track and it was very good, but Bucky and Tyler are even better than Carter's. They are true experts and Bucky is very talented and observing and communicating exactly how I could improve - his feedback was highly specific to me! I will be doing another lesson for sure at some point - this is the kind if training that makes me faster and safer read more

If you want to have more confidence in your riding skills on the street or track, Moto Survival School is the one to take. I've been riding for over 20 years however the last year is where I've made the most growth as a confident, safer, even faster rider. Under the tutelage of Bucky you're always going to get something new to add to your utility belt as a rider. Even just simple reminders of things you forget from the last time you take his class help you so much. Tyler who assists with on track coaching, will assist with some of the more experienced students such as myself. The input they both bring always makes the class feel like you're getting so much out of each class. Bucky limits his class to 4 -5 people so you are getting plenty of individual attention. You can rent one of his bikes or you can byob to save 50 dollars. To top it all off, you get plenty of pics, video of your rides to see where corrections can be made, as well as the swag Moto Survival Shirts. You're truly getting the complete package for this class. I highly recommend it to anyone, old or new rider. read more
