Yeah only one girl dropped in my class and I still blame the instructor for that. He was doing the I'll tell you at this time to either swerve left, swreve right or stop....well he waiting too long and she committed to swerving left when he stuck out his arms for her to stop. High side FTL.

It stopped class for a while, but she was allowed to stay.

Only if you drop it during the test do you fail. We had someone drop his bike several times but not during the test. Another guy just decided he didn't like it and stopped coming!

Wow, Im surprised everyone else has had such experiences. Even people I know that have no business being on bikes have made it through without dropping their bikes. Maybe our teachers are more laid back or the style has something to do with it. Was anyones MSF fast paced or seemed rather intense?

WRONG, if your a danger to yourself or your classmates you can be failed, if you fail to "grasp" the exercise any exercise, you can be failed. all these are subjective of course. and yes falling in the eval, you fail.

i had a lady crash in the 1st actual riding part where we rocked back and forth before going across the range. she quit.

I guess your MSF is different than the one I took then. I clearly remember that - and the person that kept dropping his - PASSED.

I also didn't say anything about anyone being a danger or grasping any exercises. I only mentioned dropping the bike. So FAIL for assuming.

No, the person who dropped it once just forgot to put their feet down. It was pretty normal paced and just a minor mistake except the one girl who kept dropping the bike. She just had no balance whatsoever. You could tell her husband, who was also in the class, was pushing it on her though. She didn't seem real interested in riding. He thought he was a lot better than he was too. Was trying to up show everyone. He apparently had been riding for "years" and I outperformed him in every exercise and never had even been on a bike in motion before the class. Took him forever to get the figure 8 exercise.

Mine wasn't fast paced but at least two dropped the bike at least once. It was during slow speed turns. During the test one guy put a foot down a few times but I don't think anyone dropped a bike during the test.

My co-worker recently took MSF, he said THREE people dropped their bikes. I think a full class is 12.

For the record, no one in my class dropped their bikes.
