[charlie brown]

Guys,

I N E E D to to learn to ride off road. Ideally I would prefer to repeatedly drop some one elses bike for a day or two rather than my own. I am in excile on the south coast at the moment.......

Cheers

Would have thought the obvious choice would be BMW's own Off Road Skills Course down in Wales. They're expensive and they get booked up months in advance, but everyone who goes thoroughly enjoys the experience ... pick any bike from BMW's enduro/MX range and, if you break it, they'll give you another. You also get a (brief) chance at the end of the course to try out all the other models.

Highly recommended.

Not actually a training school but you will pick up loads of tips ,nothing like jumping in with both feet and learning as you go

If I were you I'd do a day with I2IMCA

www.i2imca.com

and then do the BMW off-road course. I2I's introduction to off-road riding is superb; the BMW one is very good but, I think, you'd appreciate it more having done the I2I one first.

Try www.trailquestadventure.com or Richard on 07785274982. I met them in a Gloucester Cotswold BMW open day where they had a stand.
I have just completed a 2 day course with them that takes place in their private woodland and off road area.
Positives for them:
Excellent Instruction
Easy to get to on M50 J2
Use their own bikes ( and kit)
No extra charge to use their kit
Lunch included
I am really glad I used this company operating from a beautiful stately type home with its own private airstrip.
I enjoyed my training so much I will be booking my 12 year old son for a days offroad tuition for his xmas present.
All in all cant recommend highly enough.

Why not buy someone like our own Timolgra a lot of beer and go riding with him for a few days? He's good at taking photos when you do fall off!

+1 for i1i. I haven't done the offroad course but I've done all the others. Brilliant fun, learned loads!

+1 for i2i - they run offroad near Thirsk. Enduro style but with a little more bias towards Motocross technique.

Then ORS - I only had the taster they had at Knockhill but had the impression it was trail riding / enduro style.

Hope to do ORS in Wales in the future, and the i2i stuff is just great anyway
