First Gear Skid School

I love it when people plastered their name all over the vehicle that cuts me off. Your truck full of what looks to be recycle decided not to be in the correct Lane and cut off a loaded semi instead. So instead of driving like a normal person now you get a one-star on your business thank you for your time..

Really cool class, instructor was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The information that was given brought a lot of awareness to what actions you are subconsciously doing and how to correct them. The hands on portion will teach your more in minutes than you can learn in years. Michael has a good way of teaching you, keeping you attentive, and aware throughout the class and hands on.

We moved from Texas to Colorado and had little to no experience driving in snow and ice. When my wife and I learned about First Gear we signed up for the course immediately. Michal was very knowledge and entertaining as well! I really enjoyed the hands on training and it was actually fun!! I highly recommend this course for those just starting out or to fine tune your driving skills.

Michal does a great job teaching the mechanics of why your car can skid the way it can. He explains the proper techniques of how to safety correct it. Then, takes you to the Skid Car and coaches you through the course. Its amazing and fun. I recommend this class to everyone!!!!!

Excellent! Michal led an exciting and fun class for our entire department at Commerce City. The training began with an informative classroom session that reminded us all of the dangers in driving and the responsibility we each have to ourselves and one another when on the road. The real fun began about an hour into the class when we all got to feel like drivers in Fast and Furious! Michal, through his knowledge and humor, kept everyone engaged and provided valuable lessons on how to control...
Read full review a vehicle through a number of different scenarios. Even the employees that usually hate training and try to avoid it had high praise for the class. Everyone in our department feels like they are improved drivers and better equipped to handle a vehicle under difficult conditions.

If you live in Colorado and drive on ice and snow this is a class for you. My wife and I completed the class and wished we had taken it years ago. We also encouraged our son and his wife to take it. They have two small children and it sure would add a level of safety to their driving. By the way, Michael (the instructor) was great and made it a fun experience. We had a blast!

So impressed, the saying you learn something new everyday? ... Its true, went into this with high expectations but was blown away! Michal is a great teacher. He was patient and knowledgeable and truly loves his profession! Had a blast and I now have the knowledge to keep me and my family safe.

Absolutely fantastic class! I ve been driving emergency vehicles for 20 years, and I learned a ton! Michel is a knowledgeable and fun instructor. I highly recommended that everyone who operates a vehicle take this class!

Ive wanted to learn how to respond to skidding for decades. This class is awesome. The pneumatic technology is a work of genius. Michal knows vehicle handling backwards, forwards and sideways! More, he knows how to teach. He guides the small group of driver students through a progression of experience that builds easily and logically. He knows how and when to add distractive and surprise elements. And, hes totally personable and loves teaching this material. Id give 10 stars!

This course was phenomenal. Michael is a fun and engaging instructor and did a fantastic job of communicating techniques. I cant recall ever having this much fun driving. It was cool to see how speed, grip, and range all play together in controlling a skid. Would definitely recommend.
