Whether you are a seasoned street rider looking to build your off-road skills from the ground-up, an intermediate ADV rider wanting to take your technique to the next level, or a local rider lacking confidence to take that epic dream ride into remote territories and foreign countries, you've come to the right place!
HIGHLIGHTS:
A FOCUS ON THE FUNDAMENTALS
The difference between a novice rider, an intermediate rider and an expert rider, is their level of mastery, finesse and confidence with the basic fundamentals. These basic fundamentals translate across all aspects and levels of riding, and that is what we will work on.
"Practice makes perfect," as the old saying goes, and that's why our Training Expeditions weave together key training drills with exciting adventure riding in real world scenarios while enjoying beautiful scenic landscapes. Instead of just riding around a closed course with imitation obstacles, we ride on real terrain, stopping to work on specific techniques in a variety of situations. Our expert instructors will be with you coaching and encouraging you every step of the way.
Becoming a Better Off-Road Rider
We're going to hone your technique and build your confidence for what lies ahead, just like was discussed in some of the videos in our Adventure Motorcycle Training Series on YouTube:
Eric,
I wanted to write a sincere thank you for our amazing experience with your two day training option right there in Bend Oregon on September 3rd and 4th.
My brother Nick organized this trip. He owns his own KTM and rides often here in Western Colorado. His goal was to ride with us, his two brothers.
The problem: Nate and I haven’t ridden a dirt bike or motorcycle for more than thirty years!
He signed us all up for your course and we couldn’t be happier. Nate and I scrambled to get our
motorcycle endorsement added just in time for the trip. That should tell you how green we were. All three of us chose the rental bike option and are thrilled we did to experience some really nice equipment.

- Our thanks to Adam for the kind words and satisfaction in knowing that our ADV Training Expeditions have helped the Wasser Brothers build a foundation for their future riding plans. See you guys in Baja : )
RIDE Team,
"Thanks for a super fun weekend. I am already trying to plan how to join you for one of your Baja trips.
It seemed a little slow paced at times but I didn’t realize I needed slow and basic as much as I did. The basics of cover the clutch and eyes up are foundation things took away and need to remember. Tyler was GREAT! He offered up a couple of short side trips for those of us that wanted an extra challenge.
I enjoyed the training more than any other I have attended. The combination of focused skills training with instructor demonstrations and then putting the skills to practice in real life riding was a great learning structure. Your training program is unique, it was training and an adventure ride all rolled into one fantastic weekend!"

In Bend, Oregon the closest larger airport is located in Redmond, Oregon (RDM). It's about a 15 to 20 minute car ride to get into Bend. However, Uber, Lyft, and taxis aren't always available or reliable. It's a good idea to pre-book if you can and give yourself plenty of time.
In Las Vegas, Nevada there are several more options. However, the training location changes from time to time and the distance varies. It's also a good idea to pre-book your ground transportation.
Most of our training locations have pre-set meeting spots. You'll receive this information in an email after you purchase the training.
But sometimes we have to switch up locations. We try to pick spots that are located close to or at a chill business. For instance, Spoken Moto in Bend is a bike specific shop, that also has food carts and beer. So it's a great space for a meet and greet or hanging out after.
So if we're looking for another spot we'll update you on a meeting location. You can always contact us go get this info if you might have missed another notification.
