No class room it is pretty much all practical.

Man I'd like to attend one of these one day. It'd be much better than my current method of just kind of figuring it out. Nice to develop some good habits probably.

I plan on attending one, but the Oct 31 date, in fact most of high school football season, is bad for me. I do hope you get enough interest to keep doing it.

This is Basic

Closed Ranged Exercises (CRE)
The Closed Range Exercises (CRE) course was created by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) to provide hands-on rider training with an emphasis on safety and skill development. New riders, or others who want to improve their riding skills, will benefit from the CRE course taught by certified MSF DirtBike School Coaches. During the school, students learn basic techniques for safely riding off-highway motorcycles. Lessons are presented at controlled off-highway riding sites specifically selected for the course

This Is Advanced

Introduction to Trail Riding
Introduction to Trail Riding (ITR) is the next level DirtBike School course designed to familiarize riders with riding off-road on actual trails. The ITR course builds on the knowledge developed in the CRE course and teaches more advanced riding skills. A DBS Coach will guide ITR students through lessons including:



•Riding in sand, water, mud and rocks
•Depending on the area, riding in snow and ice or tight woods
•Stopping and turning around on hills, riding up & downhills, including progressing to steeper uphills and downhills
•Traversing and stopping, and alternate method, steeper downhills (Bulldogging)
•Riding whoops and ruts, and drop-offs and ledges and crossing ditches

I hope your class went well this weekend. I would like to attend your next one in the Houston area for adults. At 30, maybe I am a little old to be picking this up....but I have always wanted to get into the dirt riding.

KAM, I have a (soon to be 15 year old) son that wants to take the required course to get his permit so that he can ride with me per the TX permit rules. Will this Nov 14th class qualify for that of not when will one of these be put on?

I do a lot of Dual Sport riding and he wants to start tagging along.

No I believe you are looking for the Basic Street class. I took mine from Texan HD in Conroe. I think someone on here offer it as well.

No Way! Heck, my first motorcycle was a dirtbike at age 36 or so, so I learned to ride in the dirt, then bought my first street bike at age 46.

Being able to ride dirt/offroad opens up a whole nuther world to you.

At 30, maybe I am a little old to be picking this up...

36 too old? :eek2: Now I'm really worried. Do they have a senior division for a 49 yr old? I'm bringing the beast to today's class but will probably start off on the smaller bike until I get the hang of it.
