What happens if I do not pass the class?
There are several options available to you. If you did pretty good in class and just missed the mark in the eval, you can come back and simply “retest” (please note you CANNOT retest on the same day). Or if you struggled a little, you can come back through class to practice some more at no additional cost to you as long as we have an open seat available. We will work with you as best we can to help you reach your goal. But do realize that sometimes, the conclusion should be, that maybe riding is not for you.
