Shal Wilson follows the D.A.R.T. (Dragoo Adventure Rider Training) curriculum. This class is designed to take you through the complete Level 1 course over the course of three days. If you’ve taken the training before, don’t fret, you will be met where you are as Shal can tailor the curriculum to fit you as well. Whether you’re new to dirt or an experienced rider looking to refine your skills for the beginning of a new season, this training is for you. You’ll start with a refresher on the basics of balance, body position, peg weight, enduro steering, and braking. You’ll then advance to hills, off-camber terrain, obstacles, and beyond.

The D.A.R.T. curriculum is internationally-recognized and proven effective in helping riders improve their skills and build the habits to safely and efficiently conquer rough terrain. The premise is that there are four cornerstones to safe and successful adventure riding: balance, control, judgment, and attitude. You’ll roll out of class with a complete understanding and a rock-solid start to the riding season!

After the training, we take to the trails for 2-4 hours exploring the area and putting the skills to use.
