In association with BMW Motorcycles of Ventura County, EarthRider's Skilzdrill Series is off and rolling!
These classes stand alone; feel free to join whichever of them tickle your fancy. However, This series profectus in totum gives you the opportunity to spend six months becoming a highly competent adventure motorcycle rider, learning by gaining exposure - in a series of manageable steps - to a vast array of riding skills presented via pertinent drills & real-world scenarios, and (this is the best part) by doing your homework in between classes! ["Sorry honey, I have to go out & ride today..."] There will be two classes each month, generally on one weekend. Saturday classes will meet at BMWVC; Sunday classes will meet in the field, giving us more time fer schoolin'.
This first class assumes you have street riding experience, and little or no experience riding off pavement. We will begin by covering how to set up your bike’s controls for riding off pavement. Then, over the course of a day’s excursion both on and off pavement, we will study turning basics, discuss and practice the fundamentals of standing riding position, and introduce counterbalancing. These are KEY skills for dual sport riding, especially with bigger bikes. This is a great opportunity to build a strong skill base for future riding, or to brush up on the basics.
If 10% of the world's roads are paved, this class opens the gate between you and the other 90% of the world's roads. Class size will be limited to 12 riders. Expect a full day of instruction and a lot of personal attention.
