Squamish Motorcycle School

Expérience fantastique: Hilton and this course were invaluable for me getting my license and feeling confident on the road. We broke some ingrained dirt bike habits and i'm so happy that when I took the course he did not cancel due to bad weather and rain - because of a weekend of training in the rain, I felt comfortable being on the road in bad weather... and good thing because my road test was on the rainiest day of the summer! Thanks Hilton. See you on the road :)

Expérience fantastique: Absolutely would not be out riding without having done this course. Great foundational theory and basic bike handling skills. Thanks Hilton!

Expérience fantastique: Great course and value. If you want to learn to ride or become a better rider, sign up and have a great experience with Hilton! Now time to ride with greater awareness and confidence! Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: By taking this course I gained the riding skills and confidence needed to pass all my tests in less than a year. Now I'm set for life! I highly recommend signing up if you learn best through progression, repetition, and tips from a knowledgeable coach. I'm definitely having fun giving it "More Drama!!!" on the logging roads and commuting on the hwy to Whistler from Squamish. Thanks Hilton!

Expérience fantastique: Two different people highly recommended Squamish Motorcycle School to me, and i'm glad they did. This was a truly excellent course, provided by someone (Hilton) who is clearly passionate about motorcycle riding and safety, but also passionate about teaching. Hilton obviously put considerable effort into making this course as useful and engaging as possible, i enjoyed every minute of it. Money well spent.

Expérience fantastique: Great weekend training course. Hilton is a wealth of knowledge and experience. His adaptive teaching techniques toward each student is awesome. I would highly recommend his course.

Expérience fantastique: This course was fantastic! Led by Hilton who, with his vast motorcycle knowledge and warm personality, created an atmosphere where the seriousness of the subject matter could live and breathe within a light-hearted humour that put his students at ease. It's not easy to thread that needle (or in our case, slalom those cones!) but Hilton navigated that course easily. I would highly recommend.

Expérience fantastique: This course is worth every last dime. Hilton is a top notch instructor. He is fully dedicated to every one of his students, is thorough and keeps things fun and interesting. I would recommend Squamish Motorcycle School to anyone and everyone.

Expérience fantastique: Hilton, who is the instructor teaches with humour and teaches very clearly. Because the class size is very small you can get help with whatever you are needing help with very quickly. Would recommend if it is your first time :)

Expérience fantastique: What a great experience. This course is designed to educate you on the safety hazards of riding motorcycles but also the fun in them too. Hilton is great with balancing what you need to know and what you should know. Be on time, take it seriously and enjoy this amazing course.

Expérience fantastique: Simply the best. Hilton is a fantastic teacher in class and on the pavement. He keeps the classroom light and entertaining while still teaching you all the info and seriousness of riding, and his practical teaching skills are fantastic. He works through your anxiety and helps you learn everything you need to pass the MST with ease!

Expérience fantastique: The small group is perfect for focussed learning. Our group had both experienced riders getting a licence in BC and novice riders. The course did the impossible of being interesting and relevant to both. The incremental build-up of course work and riding is at the right pace culminating in the skills test at the end of the program. You are well-prepared for the skills test and the open road after! Highly recommend. 18 hours well spent.

Expérience fantastique: I had an amazing weekend with Hilton and the class during our 18-hour motorcycle course. We learned a ton of extremely valuable information and skills that has helped to make me a better rider and more confident on the road. Hilton has a wealth of knowledge and experience and has the perfect demeanour for keeping his students calm during the learning process. I can’t recommend his motorcycle course enough. Keep it local and support this awesome company!

Expérience fantastique: I really enjoyed Hilton’s course and learned a lot which helped me gain confidence as I start motorcycling for the first time. He was also very supportive leading up to the road test. The material and the way he covered it has also made me a better driver. I highly recommend Hilton’s course for first timers and also as a refresher.

Expérience fantastique: Hilton made something I was both nervous and excited about a lot of fun. His calm, patient and easy-going personality is ideal for teaching and he's given me a lot of great info and confidence. Can't wait to see him out on the road once I have my bike! Thank you Hilton :)

Expérience fantastique: It was a great few days. Learnt a lot and had some laughs. Thanks Hilton!

Expérience fantastique: Intimate training due to a small class size means you get a lot of individual attention from the instructor. Nice, comfortable, newer motorcycles are provided to use during the practical part of the course. The classroom portion was ok but the direction we received from Hilton (the instructor) on the practical days was top notch and made learning how to ride very enjoyable. After taking the course I feel very capable and confident to ride in public. Hilton tries to keep it fun and likes to make people laugh so hopefully you aren't too uptight and you can tolerate his old guy humor lol. Thanks Hilton!

Expérience fantastique: Hilton Jacobs will be there to assist you in all areas of motorcycle enjoyment. Safety, low speed skills and proper techniques to improve your experience. Highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to get out in the wind. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Expérience fantastique: Thought I would refresh my skills after a few years of not riding. Instead learned I had some bad habits to break and a whole set of skills I had never learned. Small class size and good equipment led to a good outcome for us. Hilton knows his stuff and has a safety minded attitude. Fun class and well worth it, in my opinion.

Expérience fantastique: Great teacher. Patient and thorough. Really helped take the edge off. Cheers Hilton.

Expérience fantastique: Hilton is an amazing instructor! I tend to get nervous and make stupid mistakes when under pressure, and he was really good at calming me down, drilling the important concepts and encouraging progress. Plus, this was eighteen straight hours of fun, including the classroom sessions! I cannot imagine a better environment in which to learn and improve. Thank you!

Expérience fantastique: Great course, Hilton eases you into each new skill and is very patient. Overall he is a great instructor and as a bonus has a great sense of humour.

Expérience fantastique: You CAN teach an old dog new tricks I relocated to Canada from England about 10 years ago, I learned to ride a bike a long time ago and had a full bike licence in the UK. It was always on my radar to take the bike test in BC and I never really made the time. I decided to take Hilton's training course to make sure that I "still had what it takes" as I am now 55 years old and probably (definitely!) have years of bad habits to deal with. Hilton's approach is methodical and totally sets you up for success, there are subtle differences in the rules of the road in my adopted country, which for me, was the most valuable part of the training, I clearly, "still had" what it takes to ride a bike safely, but the additional knowledge passed down from Hilton made me way more comfortable with the rules. Fast forward to this week, I now have a full bike licence (class 6) and am looking for my first ride in 10 years. If you are in the same position as me, do yourself a favour and take the training, it really is worth it! Paul C

Expérience fantastique: For a complete newcomer to riding, this course cannot be beat! There is a good balance between theory and action, and the instructor Hilton is professional and insightful. Now that the MST is included, you can walk away ready to ride.* *very, very carefully

Expérience fantastique: Definitely a good course to learn to ride and emphasize safety, even if you think you know what your doing! Hilton is very professional but easy going, genuinely wants to see you succeed and be safe. Glad i did it.

Expérience fantastique: Good course for anyone wanting to get in to riding. I really enjoyed it and more importantly I got a lot out of it.

Expérience fantastique: I had some serious nerves going into this but Hilton is an amazing coach and just all-around great person. I'd never ridden a motorcycle (or even a scooter for that matter) and he had my feet up and riding around within the first hour. He's so encouraging and really helped me shake it off when I dropped the bike (3 times!) or made a mistake. The course was super fun and I'm so glad I got over my nerves and did it!

Expérience fantastique: Definitely would recommend doing the course. I feel more safe and knowledgeable now that Hilton taught me everything to know about motorcycle riding! I’m now out there on the road and it feels great!
