Introduction to Trail Riding

---

Only offered at Rock Glen OHV in Rockford, IL

Introduction to Trail Riding: Trail riding requires riders to be well coordinated with motorcycle controls and balance. Landscape and surface conditions can change in a blink of an eye while riding off-road. This is challenging for novice and “new to dirt” riders alike.  Riders must possess a Dirtbike School Completion Card to attend the course, and will have to demonstrate adequate motorcycle operation and control before entering trails. Class run time is approximately 5-6 hours (including time for lunch) and is performed only outdoors.

We provide dirtbikes, helmets, and a limited amount of knee and elbow protection. The dirtbikes are 125cc engine size, are equipped with a clutch, and have a seat height of 30 or 31 inches. Kick start and manual shifting will be taught to start and operate the dirtbike. The dirtbikes are adequate for a 5-6 foot tall person with an inseam of 28 inches or higher, and weigh under 250 lbs. *Contact the school if a smaller or larger motorcycle needs to be accommodated, there may be limited equipment availability. Riders can bring their own dirtbike and helmet, however it must pass a safety inspection by the RiderCoach for use in course.

Riders must bring the following to class:

-long sleeve shirt or riding jacket

-sturdy long pants (no sweats pants or stretchy pants)

-over the ankle boots (no heel taller than 1 inch)

-full finger gloves

-eye protection (sunglasses/eyeglasses are acceptable)
