INTRO TO ADVENTURE: The Ultimate Foundation for Dual Sport & ADV Riding

Ready to take your riding beyond the pavement? Whether you’re adventure-curious or already exploring backroads, INTRO TO ADVENTURE is your complete foundation for riding with confidence off the beaten path.

This in-depth seminar breaks down everything you need to know — from choosing the right bike and dialing in your setup, to mastering body position, terrain techniques, and navigation skills. We’ll cut through the noise and give you real-world knowledge you can actually use on your next ride.

What You’ll Learn:

Adventure Riding Principles
Understand the mindset and fundamentals that separate confident riders from cautious ones.

Bike Choices & Setup
How to choose the right machine for your goals — plus ergonomics, suspension basics, and setup tips that dramatically improve control and comfort.

Gear & Accessories
What you actually need (and what you don’t). Helmets, boots, protection, luggage systems, and smart upgrades.

Riding Techniques & Body Position
Core riding principles, proven methods, and practical drills to improve balance, traction, and control on dirt, gravel, and mixed terrain.

Navigation & GPS
Tracks vs routes, GPS units, apps, tablets, and maps — learn how to confidently navigate backcountry routes and organized rides.

Adventure Planning
Camping, travel logistics, AMA dual sport rides, private ride planning, and where to go — including BDRs, the PB500, and other must-ride experiences.

 Troubleshooting & Confidence Building
What to do when things go wrong — crashes, mechanical issues, fear management, and how to filter internet noise from real-world advice.

Special Vendor Presentations

We’re also excited to welcome KLIM and Troy Lee Designs, who will be showcasing their newest collections and leading hands-on side workshops focused on apparel, protection, and proper gear selection. Learn directly from the experts about layering systems, impact protection, fitment, and how to choose the right equipment for your riding style and terrain.

This isn’t just a seminar — it’s your roadmap to riding farther, safer, and with more confidence.

If you’ve been thinking about exploring dirt roads, tackling a BDR, or simply becoming a more capable rider, this is where it starts.
