      Level 1 Beginner Training

      Off-road skills don’t happen overnight.  We want you to feel comfortable when you transition from the pavement to the dirt, and our training will help you build the finesse required to adventure ride safely.  Breaking down each movement into easy-to-understand steps is the key to our training.  The Triple Threat—or clutch, brake, and throttle—is one example of our focus on the fundamentals of controlling the motorcycle at slow speeds.  By re-learning how to precisely control the actions of clutching, braking, and throttling, you’ll maximize your riding capability using this core principle.  The Triple Threat is the backbone of our training program, and it carries over into every exercise we do. One thing is for sure…you will have a lot more confidence, the necessary tools, and refined skills to help you “Ride your Ride.” Also consider adding the 1 Day Upgrade Beyond Training Ride to further enhance the experience and practice what you’ve learned!

      What’s included

      • 2 Full Days of Training
      • Post Training Q&A
        Relaxed group chats and specific clinics about riding apparel, bike protection, camping gear, tools, gps and phone navigation, preparing to ride a BDR route and more!
      • Permits
        We have all the necessary private and public land permits required for training and riding.

      What’s not included

      This is your event. We are here to help you succeed in your own way. West38Moto offers a different experience than other off-road motorcycle training and tour companies. We recognize that not everyone functions well outside their comfort zone, while others want to be pushed out if it. People learn at different speeds, in distinctive ways, and will reach individualized goals. Because everyone has to start somewhere, our focus is on teaching off-road fundamentals at your pace and expanding the size of your comfort zone.

      Really great experience! Dusty and his team are patient, good humored and always meet you where you are. Riding a 550lb motorcycle in challenging and remote conditions is hard, the skills are perishable so training can never be something you do just once. Every time I’ve ridden with Dusty I’ve not only had a terrific time with amazing like-minded people, I improve both my knowledge and my execution of backcountry riding skills. I trust Dusty to push me to the next level, every time we ride.

      Dusty and his crew organized a great riding experience! He knows the ups and downs of the route extremely well, guiding riders through sand and over rock. The immersive coaching along the ride helped me and others sharpen skills and have a great ride, as well. The sights (terrain, sky, and wildlife!) on the BDR are not to be missed. Food on the tour was tasty and abundant, with attention to riders' dietary restrictions. Campsites were memorable with basic or better amenities. The two hotels were comfortable, clean, and were a nice break at the right times. If you have some training before the ride, you, too, can enjoy even the challenging parts of this route and make some great memories on two wheels!

      Excellent instruction. I learned alot about my bike. Even though it was much smaller than all the BMWs, Matt was excellent in providing clear instruction for me and my smaller bike. I cannot wait to save up for level 2 training. In the mean time hopefully I will be able to do the one day ride in August.

      For me, the training was a peak experience. The culture that Dusty has created and nurtured is a fascinating combination of warmth and encouragement with a rugged fun.. The team members that he has put together are fantastic teachers.

      Wonderful training. All of the staff were outstanding. Our primary trainer was Matt, he is excellent. He was supported by several others at various times, all also excellent. The overall experience was outstanding, 5 star. Thanks much. Dan
