Level 1
Intro into adventure riding
Level 1: The Foundation for Everything That Follows
This one-day course is the essential starting point for every adventure rider. In fact, one of the most common things we hear from Level 2 students is, "I wish I had started with Level 1."
You'll learn the four cornerstones of adventure riding—Balance, Control, Judgment, and Attitude—while building the skills that Level 2 is designed to expand upon. We'll also help you properly set up and fit your motorcycle to your body, improving comfort, confidence, and control from the very beginning.
You'll develop key techniques including body position, balance, clutch/brake/throttle coordination, traction management, and gear selection—the foundation for becoming a safer, more capable adventure rider.
Complete Level 1 and receive a $50 credit toward a regular Level 2 course, or save $100 when you register for Levels 1, 2, and 3 together.

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.

tips from the pros
Spend a day with the adventure experts. Shop Days are typically placed in between Level 2 and Level 3 class days. Topics discussed are bike prep, packing, common trail repairs, tools, gear and rider needs. You may also have the opportunity to work on your bike under the supervision of long time adventurers and mechanics. Discussions are largely guided by your questions. This is a great way to level up your preparedness for your next adventure.
