Comments from just a few of our many satisfied customers

For those that want miles of challenges (ruts, mud, water, hills gravel and forest trails) packed into their day's off- roading experience then Phoenix is the place for you. Tony took the two of us out on Salisbury Plain after a brief intro to "standing on the pegs" at the centre. We were both novice off- roaders so prior to encountering a new challenge he told us a couple of the most important things to remember and then off we went following his lead. The advise was practical, spot on and worked. His "get after it" attitude meant we spent most of the time riding - not talking about it. Come the end of the day my confidence had improved beyond all expectations, the sense of achievement was a great feeling and it was fun to boot. So thanks Tony, worth every aching muscle in my arms and legs - oh, and value for money, no doubt about it!

For those wanting off road training with personnal attention ( groups of no more than two ) , this is the place to come. We spent the day riding over the huge area that is Salisbury Plain on every surface you can imagine - grass ,forest floor ,gravel , water filled potholes and mud -and had an abslute hoot on the Yam 250s . A big ' thank you ' to Tony our Instructor for one of the best days I've had on a motorcycle for years

“ A great day out, even for the novice, fantastic experience. You’ll be tired in the afternoon if you haven’t done this before . Make sure you wear good quality boots and safety gear. Be prepared to swim in the mud.”

Tony,
Thanks again for such a fun day out earlier today. I set off this morning with a slight sense or trepidation having not been off roading for over 20 years, however I need not have worried as you very quickly put me at ease and we went on to have a tremendous time on the plain. The route you chose was perfect for my experience and I left the training center with a real spring in my step.

Thanks again
Andy.

Great day good fun laughed a lot! I've never been green laning before so was a bit worried I could cope but I did! Would recommend everyone to try it. Thanks Tony

Hi Tony,
Thanks for getting the pictures sent so quickly, much appreciated!
Thanks for a great day, it fitted the bill perfectly for us. Your flexibility in accommodating our slightly unusual requirements was great, and meant that we got the training that was just right for us. We both feel much more able and confident now, and we will now be able to tackle terrain that we wouldn't have dreamt of trying previously. Going off on our travels equipped with that extra confidence will make all the difference. We will let you know how we get on, and I'm sure we'll be back for more training next year!
Thanks again,
Ewan and Sarah

My wife booked me a half day off road course in August this year for my birthday and I had a brilliant day out with Tony, I had never done any trail riding before and under his supervision I found it very easy to get going straight away. Great bikes, great scenery, great trail and great company. I wonder if she will buy me the full day for Christmas, if not I will buy it myself!

Hi Tony

Thanks for the off road instruction today. I can't remember the last day I enjoyed so much. My confidence grew and grew throughout the day and your tuition and guidance was second to none. I never felt out of my depth but was constantly challenged a great day and money well spent.

Thanks Lee

Really good day, good weather conditions for Off Roading, good course covering all aspects of Off Roading"

Aaron Whiffin said"

Really good day, covered all terrains, very messy and only came off once, bargain! Learnt lots of new skills. Only problem is now I need to buy a motocross bike!!

Thanks for a great day. I certainly feel more confident about going off road.  The variety of tracks we went down enabled me to build on my road skills and by the end of the day, I felt far more at home off road. The puncture repair session was an unexpected bonus. I hope to return later in the year to pick up the pace. Glad I did the training before I got my bus pass!


All the best

"After riding road bikes for fifteen years this was my first venture off-road and I'm now hooked, this was a fantastic day out over Salisbury Plain, plenty of mud, water and green lanes which the TTR 250's supplied by Phoenix handled impressively, many thanks to Tony for his time and advice, I'd recommend this course to anyone who fancies an introduction to off-road biking."

All the best, hopefully we'll see you next year for the Advanced Road Training. Andy Hodgson

Robert Taylor said' A fantastic day. Thoroughly enjoyed it all and achieved everything I wanted to. Thank you for a memorable day'.

"I guess like many road bike riders I wanted to know how I would feel about riding on gravel, through deep mud, ruts and water or over steep inclines; now I know - brilliant! I would recommend a day out trail riding with Tony to anyone who wants to decide if its for them, now I'm off to buy a trail bike!"

Monika & Colin said 'We had an excellent day, which really gave us a true insight into what off-roading would be like, which was exactly what we wanted. Thanks to your knowledge of the area and flexibility in route planning, we covered a broad range of surfaces (which is what we asked for), got a lot of experience and grew in confidence over the course of a very tiring day. And you were totally accurate in your "warning" that we would get dirty - we were filthy. But it was totally worth it. We thoroughly enjoyed it (boggy mud puddles and all), and are now wanting to get our own bikes so that we can explore our local area. Thanks for taking the pictures on the day - they're all great'
