SKID MONSTER

The uniquely patented "Skid Monster" teaches preventive and operational skills for skid recovery. There is only one commercial school in Washington State that includes it as a part of their enhanced curriculum. NorthStar is the "home" of the Skid Monster, and Mr. Richey is the only Teacher of Teachers that helps you to control "the beast."

We invite drivers of all kinds to take part in this invaluable experience. It is an exceptional learning tool preparing any aged driver for our rainy or other "bad weather" days in the Pacific Northwest.

NorthStar Students

We are happy to offer the Skid Monster as a training event at our HQ in Auburn. We start with a group seminar on general defensive driving tactics & workshop essential controls in a front-wheel drive vehicle necessary to handle a rear-end slide successfully. Send us an inquiry to get set up.
