The TNT Story
My wife had taken a local learn to ride course and by the second day she could no longer handle the instructor's arrogant behavior and military attitudes, she became so frustrated that she quit. I LIVE the sport, this was not going to happen to my wife, TNT was born in 1999.
We revolutionized the way rider training was being done in Edmonton. We coined the phrase, Training for Success which enables our instructors to be reminded that our student's needs come first.
My wife is happily riding with her hair in the wind and like all good family business, we remember our beginnings.

Why Should I Choose TNT to teach ME?
TNT can state we are the Leader in Motorcycle Training because we understand our role in the sport.
We understand all effective teachers require proper tools.
There are three main tools motorcycle instructors need; a safe motorcycle, a safe training facility, and proper education.
Missing any of the 3 main tools the instructor will not be able to teach the student effectively, causing increased stress for the instructor and the student.
A Safe Motorcycle.
Typically most rider training companies do not repair the signal lights or decide to take them right off. They believe they will be broken and it is not worth the cost to repair, some even invest in guards to protect the hand controls and levers from being broken when they crash. Crazy thinking to us, would you learn to operate a car without working signal lights?
Once the rider training company starts being comfortable with bikes that do not pass a simple Bike Check, the instructor skills begin to deteriate, they start skipping over important information the student needs to learn such as using the signal light switch properly
At TNT we imagine a new rider taking his bike out for the first time on the road, as he is searching for the unfamiliar signal light switch, his attention and eyes are diverted from the traffic ahead to the switch just as the car in front of them stops short for a pedestrian…
A Safe Training Facility. Google Map any of our course locations to see what we mean about space!
We do our best not to operate out of a parking lot. At our main site in Edmonton we have created one of Canada’s largest motorcycle training facilities. A 2-acre barrier free motorcycle rider training facility that includes custom hill starts, gravel riding sections and smooth, barrier free pavement.
For our out of town courses we look for the same barrier free wide open spaces that have excellent training surfaces. Your first experience riding through a corner should not be on poor pavement with grass growing though the training site!
Proper Education
Tired of being surrounded by instructors who believe that they are the best instructor in the entire world? They shamelessly state they have taught hundreds of thousands of people how to ride. We have done the math and it does not match up.
In this day of websites and blogs it is easy for rider training instructors to constantly pat themselves on the back, fabricating so called facts to make it appear they know what they are doing.
The owner and chief instructor, Chris Bulger, continues to search the motorcycle training industry to keep TNT’s training techniques at a world class level.
At the next Free TNT Theory course ask Chris what certification he has or is currently trying to attain and you will understand why TNT is the place to teach! This man is passionate about riding motorcycles and is certified up the WhaZOO. To be a good teacher he knows you need to have knowledge that only comes from a student perspective.
We have brought outside professional trainers from the USA to audit our courses, we know it is a big world out there and even though we spend time and energy on our own instructing skills we feel it is critical to have other highly regarded instructors come and see us.
One of our instructors owned and operated his own motorcycle rider training school in the UK, he brings us expertise other schools dream of. Another has taught for over 30 years, he has chosen to keep learning his craft with TNT. We have instructors that are in different stages of development, from new rookie to very seasoned professionals. One thing is common with all TNT instructors, they expect TNT to challenge their own riding skills and training knowledge.
It is no mistake that we have the only 4 Instructors in Canada that are certified to teach Lee Parks Advanced Riding Clinic, Total Control.
