LEVEL 1-2, Adv Skills Course
Two Day – $995
Shal’s two-day class covers beginner to intermediate levels and is ideal for new off-road riders, experienced street riders transitioning to dirt, or even seasoned dirt bikers looking to improve their skills on heavy adventure bikes in challenging terrain. Using the Dragoo Adventure Rider Training (D.A.R.T.) curriculum, Shal delivers a well-structured program where each step builds on the previous one. Riders will start with the basics, including balance, body position, peg weighting, clutch control, enduro steering, and braking, laying a solid foundation for more advanced techniques. As the class progresses, students will tackle hills, off-camber terrain, hill fail recovery, obstacles, and towing. The exercises are progressive, comprehensive, and designed to provide plenty of practice, helping riders refine their skills and confidently handle difficult off-road conditions.

These courses will break down each skill into 3 major components: Line Choice, Body Position, and Bike Control. 1) Line Choice – You’ll develop the skills and visual acuity to look and think ahead of the bike, searching for an appropriate line, clearing or avoiding obstacles, and averting emergencies if possible. 2) Body Position – You’ll learn how to properly and fluidly position your body on and over the bike to maximize controllability. And 3) Bike Control – You’ll discover how to manipulate the bike’s controls (throttle, clutch, handlebars, suspension and brakes) to realize the bike’s full capability. Together, these skills will improve your confidence, enhance your riding skills and help maximize your overall riding enjoyment!
