Level 1
Intro into adventure riding
This is our one-day introduction into riding off pavement. We will introduce the four cornerstones of adventure riding: Balance, Control, Judgement, and Attitude. We will help with bike setup, gear selection, body position, balance basics, clutch/brake/throttle relationship, and traction management. These foundational skills will launch your journey toward bike mastery. With enrollment in the one-day intro, you are eligible for a $50 tuition discount for one of our regular Level 2 courses, and $100 off if you register for Levels 1, 2 and 3.

Level 2
skills for adventure
This is our two-day beginner to intermediate course, and is appropriate for beginning off-road riders as well as experienced street riders who are transitioning to dirt. Even those who’ve ridden dirt bikes for years will benefit from the skills they will learn for handling heavy adventure motorcycles in challenging off-road terrain. Riders will begin building upon the skills learned in Level 1. We take a deep dive into balance basics, body position, peg weighting, clutch usage, enduro steering, and braking. Next we advance to application of these fundamentals on hills, off-camber terrain, riding ruts, hill fail recovery, loose hill starts, obstacles and towing. Curricula may vary due to time and weather conditions.

Level 3
rocks and sand
Level 3, “Rocks and Sand,” covers exactly what the name suggests and gives the rider the skills and experience for riding (and getting unstuck) in deep sand as well as negotiating rocky, steep terrain with confidence. Our venue boasts some of the best rocks and deepest sand that Oklahoma has to offer. Day One typically begins with applying the skills honed in Level 2, in more challenging terrain and with tighter parameters. We also take braking up a notch by performing maximum performance braking on more challenging terrain and adding an element of urgency beyond what is learned in Level 2. Day Two finds us on the what has been touted as the best sugar sand in the country, Soggy Bottom Trails. Sand riding and extraction are the name of the game. For the rider that still has some gas in the tank there is a group sand trail ride to the historic Byers Bridge, a 1902 triple hump camelback railroad bridge over the South Canadian River, a well-earned finale for those who can hang.
