Intermediate Training
Riding a Dual Sport or Adventure Motorcycle off-road requires a different set of skills. Learning and building these skills requires training for when your adventure goes beyond the pavement…
Have you taken our beginner class or another basic or introductory off road riding class? Are you ready to take it up a few notches and ride some more difficult terrain on your dual sport or adventure bike? If so, our intermediate classes have just what you are looking for!
We will do a quick refresher of some of the skills learned in our or similar beginner classes. We will discuss what the differences are between what you felt on your bike during those exercises and or real world riding situations and what you are going to feel on your bike and get from this class.
Part of this class will be done in a controlled environment with West 38 Moto coaches and part of it will be done with the group riding this terrain in the field. Be ready to be challenged with some intermediate to advanced level riding on big bikes!
A list of Intermediate training exercises and skills:
A Quick refresher of the beginner training skills will be done. We will then move into a more advanced set of skills using the same principals.
This class will be a mix of a controlled setting with cones and drills and real world trail riding!
We will up the game with tighter turns, slower speeds, and more balancing exercises
Proper lower body positioning
The “Triple Threat” the art of learning how to finesse the clutch, brake and throttle at slow speeds
Not only will we do this in a classroom setting but we will be on the trail learning “why” this is important and what situations it is used the most in
We will learn more front brake control while also feeling what it is like to skid the front brake.
We will also learn controlled skidding with the rear brake and where to use that on the trail.
In this class, sharp and sweeping corners turn into actual mountain switchbacks. Feeling comfortable riding these can greatly expand the roads you are able to comfortably ride.
No better place to do this than in the real world on trails with rock gardens
The ups and downs of inclines with real world terrain thrown in the mix
We all know it is our favorite terrain!
