Bottome line, six hours to learn some really important safety information.

Good to hear that.
It is the same with the Snowmobile Safety classes that I teach each winter. The difference being that many of my actual students (the kids) are really up to speed on many of the laws and regulations and especially the environmental issues regarding snowmobiling.
But it is alway the adult parent or guardians that come up to me after class and state they were absolutely ignorant to many of the issues presented in the class!
Personally I would like to see a tiered licensing approach introduced to ATV and snowmobile operation in the State. As bad as lack of knowledge can be out on the water, the incidents of serious accidents due in many cases sheer ignorance or stupidity is much higher per capita withing the ATV/Snowmobile community!
In my humble opinion, that is...
