Level 1 Beginner Training

Off-road mastery doesn't happen overnight. Our training is designed to build the confidence and finesse you need for a smooth, safe transition from pavement to dirt. The key to our program is breaking down complex movements into easy-to-understand, foundational steps.

We center our instruction around the Triple Threat—the precise, simultaneous control of the clutch, brakes, and throttle—at slow speeds. By re-learning how to harness these core actions, you maximize your riding capability. This Triple Threat technique is the backbone of our training, carrying over into every exercise we practice. By the end of this course, you will possess significantly more confidence, the necessary tools, and refined skills to truly "Ride your Ride."

Level 2 Intermediate Training

Building upon the foundations established in Level I, or leveraging your existing skills, this 2-day intermediate training class focuses on refining your control of the motorcycle under pressure. We achieve this through the complete mastery of "The Triple Threat"—Clutch, Brake, and Throttle—applying it over varied terrain, during tight maneuvering, and an intense focus on momentum control.

A critical component of Level II is Body Position, which will be thoroughly explained and practiced at length, as it is key to handling more technical challenges. This training is designed for lifelong learners who understand that motorcycling is a perishable skill. By the end of this intensive event, you will be equipped and confident to tackle more technical trails and become a significantly better, safer rider. We highly encourage you to continue practicing with others who display good technique and motorcycle etiquette to always "Ride your Ride."
