Our Team Members

Helen, who first started riding in her 20s to join in on the fun with friends, brings an infectious enthusiasm and supportive spirit to every class. She believes in adapting her teaching style to each student's needs, and when she's not adventure touring, she's at home on her hobby farm with her mini jersey cow.

A rider since he was 10 years old, this coach's core philosophy is "There is no failure, only feedback," making every lesson a positive experience. When he's not cruising on his Honda Goldwing, he enjoys relaxing at his seasonal campsite near Eagle River.

Rick Springer is a lifelong rider who's been on two wheels since he was six and loves connecting with every student on a personal level. When he's not coaching, he's off chasing adventures on his BMW R1200GS, enjoying solo moto-camping, or working on a home construction project.

Oksanna merged her love for rocky dirt trails and street riding into a passion for adventure, often found moto-camping on her Yamaha Tenere 700. As both an MSF and Accident Scene Management (ASM) instructor, she brings a "calm and calculated" approach to coaching, believing that mastery begins in the mind.

A hands-on builder who completely rebuilt his first bike from a "basket case," Tyler loves making classes fun with practical, relatable examples. He lives for the "light bulb" moment when a student's face lights up with understanding, and when he's not on his trials bike, he's welding custom buggies or racing sailboats.

As Be Crash Free's COO and a 30-year Air Force veteran, Matthew brings decades of leadership experience to his patient, positive, and approachable coaching style. He's a nationally recognized Instructor Trainer who believes "not all who wander are lost" and loves helping every rider find confidence and value in their own journey.

Aleana's passion for riding began with her dad's Honda Magna, and today she loves working on anything with an engine—from motorcycles to airplanes. She brings a friendly, positive, and supportive style to her classes, believing that students learn best when they feel encouraged and confident.

A rider since he was 7 years old, Jeremy's teaching philosophy centers on empowering students to actively participate in their own learning. When he's not enjoying a ride down scenic country roads, he's pursuing a degree in zoology and spending time with his two pet geese, Moose and Pea.

Ax got his start on a paper route, but his passion for teaching began when he took his first class and got "hooked," becoming an instructor that same year. He believes a relaxed, smiling coach helps students relax, and he loves challenging his 1997 Honda Valkyrie on long trips and through tight cone patterns.

Hooked from his first throttle twist at age 30, Dick loves exploring scenic mountain roads on his Versys 1000. He's a firm believer that context is the key to understanding, and he spends his off-time at the dog park with his beagle, Philip.

A rider since 1978, Bill brings a laid-back and easy-going style to his classes, loving the moment a student's skills "blossom." He believes deeply in professional training (and that the clutch is your best friend!), but when he's off the bike, he's hiking with his dogs or enjoying his favorite ride: the newest one in his garage.

With over six decades of riding and racing experience, Bill believes the best upgrade you can buy for your bike is training, and he brings a clear, encouraging style to every class. When he's not on an adventure ride, he's turning wrenches on equipment or sharing his passion for the high desert trails with his grandsons.
