A Little About ProRider

Thank you for visiting ProRider's website and taking a few minutes to learn more about ProRider. Throughout the website, you can read up on the classes that we offer and the people that make things happen, but in this section I want to provide you with the background on how ProRider "came to be."

After realizing the value gained by police officers who complete motor school, we began looking at the motorcycle training options available to civilians and were disappointed to learn that there weren't many. The Motorcycle Safety Foundation does a great job of providing basic training to beginners and intermediate/refresher training to experienced riders. However, there was no training available that was comparable to the advanced skills taught in police courses. There is nothing secretive about these skills- nothing that is going to compromise officer safety if learned by the public- they simply aren't incorporated into any civilian classes.

Upon realizing that there was huge opportunity to bring advanced skills to civilian riders, we began talking to a number of police motorcycle officers and other instructors and obtaining feedback and ideas. There was overwhelming support for the idea of creating a civilian riding course that is truly modeled from police motorcycle exercises and techniques- and not just the low-speed work, but the crash avoidance, proper threshold braking and street skills as well.

With the collaboration and input from other motor officer instructors, we developed three challenging, fun, and rewarding course options for experienced riders that want to take their riding abilities to a new level: Advanced Riders Course, Precision and Control Course, and the Defensive Riding Course. Classes kicked off in Fall of 2013, and has since expanded nationwide.

Each Training Site is independently licensed and operated, but meets a rigorous approval process and conforms to the high standards established by ProRider.While each Training Site and every instructor brings their own personal flare and touch to the learning process, every affiliate of ProRider is committed to providing an exceptional training experience and giving riders the tools and confidence they need to develop their maximum riding potential.

Dominic Affinito
Owner/Operator

Hello! My name is Dominic Affinito. My friends call me Doc. In my career, I've mostly had high-risk jobs: military, fire service, crop duster pilot, flight instructor, Risk Manager, and accident investigator in the insurance industry. I saw firsthand how quickly things can go wrong, so I incorporated my aviation skills into my motorcycle riding

Last year, I decided to take my riding to the next level by taking some advanced riding classes. But beyond the basic MFS course (which is a great place to start a riding career), there isn’t much advanced training available in Montana.

In my search for advanced-level training, I found two things that stood out. 1. You are 28 times more likely to die on a motorcycle than in a motor vehicle. From 2020- 2024, 159 Montana motorcyclists lost their lives on Montana roads. That is 31.8 lives per year- nearly one every 11days; 3 of those fatalities were in Billings. MDT identifies Yellowstone County among the populous counties where the majority of Montana's motorcycle fatalities are concentrated. 2. ProRiderMC. America's Premier Advanced Motorcycle Training School. After speaking with ProRiderMC, I decided to join the team. So, I packed a bag, flew to Oregon, completed 40 hours of intense Police Motor Officer Training, and started ProRider Mountain West.

At ProRider Mountain West, my mission is simple: help riders develop a higher level of skill and ability, enhance situational awareness, and cultivate a safer, more prepared mindset for riding. Our Advanced 
Motor Officer Skills Training is next-level and introduces riders to techniques used by police motor officers.

I invite you to join me in our quest to make riding Montana’s highways and streets safer for everyone. Together, we will build your confidence, improve your riding skills, have some fun, and maybe even help save a life in the process.
