2-Day Adventure Bike Training for new and returning riders seeking to gain control of their bike and prepare for off-road riding and BDR trips. 

Starting off right means also knowing how to stop. Riders focus on getting control of their machines so they can safely operate the bike on off-road terrain. Beginning with how a motorcycle works and what the controls do, the First Timers course will familiarize new riders with the equipment and proper off-road technique. 

Balanced body positioning and control: keeping your fingers on the levers; hand and foot position; standing to ride; power supply and delivery; shifting and braking are all introduced and reinforced consistently to help new riders quickly develop positive riding habits that will last a lifetime.

Jumping the gun and hitting a local trail too early can be exhilarating, but it can also be kinda sketch, or terrifying. Dirtbiking is supposed to be fun . . . We take that pretty seriously. Hah! :p Completing the First Timers ADV program should leave you feeling confident go get out on the local trails for your first time or with your buddies. 

Located 20 minutes west of Denver, you'll come to Thunder Valley Park in Morrison at any level and you'll ride out far more educated and aware than you'd imagine. To complete the ADV Skills training you'll need to demonstrate you're large and in charge with the basics. Do you have the composure to stop whenever and wherever you want? Can you turn the bike around in a tight space? Are you shifting to match the slope of the terrain? Are you in balance or out of balance while riding? These are a serious of challenges that require the rider to genuinely manage their machine.

Day 1: 10am-3pm

After successfully completing the First Timers course you're ready for Ride Days! Take your new skills to task in the nearby Pike National Forest at at one of our exclusively permitted places. If you're still "out of control" or not feeling confident, you can opt to return to our next scheduled course for another day of training. Everybody adapts at their own pace. Our goal is to help you get out on the trail feeling good and having fun, safely, and when you're ready. 

Ride Days and Trips are at a variety of locations around the front range and the western slope. We hope you'll continue to ride and improve with us, but we're stoked to see you DIY or hit the trails with your tribe. You're welcome to be a part of our tribe too. It's a great way to meet new people and learn about new areas to rally.
