Adventure Riding Fundamentals:

Fri, Aug 28 and Sat, Aug 29 mornings, 8:30am – 12:30pm. 

This 4 hour training covers the skills needed in tackling an off-pavement environment. Including clutch and throttle development, braking on loose surfaces, when to sit or stand, being comfortable in the saddle, how not to fall, proper weight distribution when traveling, bike set up and gear selection. This is probably the most important class we offer. It gives you the essentials that you can base all your future off-pavement successes on.

Intermediate Level Adventure Riding

Fri, Aug 28 and Sat, Aug 29 afternoons 1:30pm to 5:30pm

This 4 hour class teaches you how to properly turn a large ADV motor on a dime. We work a lot on balance, control, and staying loose on the bike. In our intermediate level classes we will work more with  real-world off-road scenarios. This class is for riders who have the basic fundamentals, but are wanting to develop more off-road skills and build the confidence that will help them in tackling more difficult terrain. 

Students rave about their learning experiences with TAARA:

“Tom Asher has a magical way of teaching… he demonstrates what the bike can do—which is sometimes hard to even imagine—and then ten minutes later you are doing it yourself.”

“Awesome time learning from one of the greats in the big-bike off-road riding world… Tom’s words of wisdom and expert guidance inspired confidence to tackle some tough obstacles, overcoming barriers of the physical as well as mental realms.”

“Tom teaches an out-of-the-box way of looking at riding dynamics. You soon meld with your bike as you learn the foundations. Once you have super slow speed control, the rest comes easy. Your confidence grows fast. His voice and motions help build that. He is big on energy management.”
