What happens after I record my riding skills demonstration?

After you record the videos, you upload the footage to your IKO profile so we can review it. Once the footage has been reviewed, we’ll contact you to let you know whether or not you passed. You must be recognizable in the video and the footage must be high quality and stabilized for it to be accepted. If your skills are not demonstrated clearly in the video because of poor quality recording (bad angle, water on the lens, etc.) the video will be rejected.
