Should I take the Experienced rider course? If you fall into the following category I would advise you to take the beginner rider course versus the experienced rider course. If you rode for a while then quit riding for a number of years or you are a self taught rider. If you fall into either of those two I recommend you taking the beginner rider course versus the experienced rider course. If you are just wanting to update your riding skills and possible remove some of those bad habits the experienced rider course is for you.
