Course Information


The Country Trax Introduction Off-Road Riding Course is the ideal starting point for riders who are new to gravel roads, dirt tracks, or off-road adventure. Whether you're coming from a road-riding background or have limited experience off the tarmac, this course provides a safe and supportive environment to learn the core principles of off-road motorcycling.


What You’ll Learn

We focus on building the essential skills that every off-road rider needs. These include:

  • Body positioning for balance and control
  • Throttle and clutch control for smooth, deliberate riding
  • Braking techniques on loose surfaces
  • Slow-speed maneuvering and stability
  • Riding posture and vision for different terrain
  • Basic obstacle navigation, such as small ruts and uneven ground

These are the foundations that prepare you for more advanced techniques and ensure you stay safe when the road gets rough.


Course Format

Training is delivered through a combination of practical drills, short technical sessions, and controlled outrides. The environment is structured, low-pressure, and tailored to beginners. You'll receive personal coaching from experienced Country Trax instructors who understand how to build rider confidence at a steady pace.


Who Should Attend

This course is perfect for:

  • New adventure or dual-sport riders
  • Road riders transitioning to gravel or dirt
  • Anyone looking to develop safe, effective habits before attempting more technical terrain

No prior off-road experience is required.


What You’ll Gain

By the end of the course, you'll:

  • Feel more confident and in control on gravel roads
  • Understand how your bike behaves off-road and how to work with it
  • Be equipped with the fundamental techniques for further off-road training and real-world riding
