About Us
training. community. adventure
Rawhyde Moto Adventures exists for one reason: to help riders discover what’s possible when skill, confidence, and true adventure come together. Founded on a deep respect for the craft of off-road riding, Rawhyde has grown into the industry’s leading training and adventure organization, trusted by riders from around the world and proudly recognized as the official BMW off-road training academy in the United States.
At our core, we are educators. Everything we do – from our multi-level training programs to our fully supported training-tours across North and South America – is built around developing riders in a safe, structured, and inspiring environment. Our facilities, curriculum, coaches, and culture are all designed to help riders progress, whether they’re touching dirt for the first time or seeking advanced challenges in remote terrain.
But Rawhyde is more than training. It’s community, camaraderie, and a shared spirit of exploration. Riders come for the skills, but they stay for the friendships, the experiences, and the sense of belonging that only adventure motorcycling can create.
The new Rawhyde represents the next chapter – expanded training modules, improved facilities, elevated hospitality, and unforgettable riding experiences – all rooted in the same mission: to empower riders to push boundaries, ride with confidence, and experience the world in a way few people ever will.
Crafted through experience
Rawhyde was built by riders who understand that growth comes from time on the bike, real terrain, and real challenges. Every element of our program – from our coaching methodology to our curriculum and tour structure – is shaped by decades of hands-on experience in the world of adventure motorcycling. We know what works, we know what doesn’t, and we’ve built a system that accelerates learning while keeping riders safe, supported, and inspired every step of the way.
Our coaches are the backbone of Rawhyde. Each is USMCA-certified, many are BMW-trained, and all are committed to helping riders progress with clarity, confidence, and humility. Whether you’re navigating rocky climbs, loose dirt, sand, water crossings, or high-elevation passes, our team brings a calm, structured, and encouraging approach that turns intimidating terrain into teachable moments. This combination of expertise, patience, and passion is what makes Rawhyde more than a school – it makes us a true partner in every rider’s journey.
Why we're different
Rawhyde offers a training experience unlike anything else in the industry. Along with top-tier riding instruction, guests stay directly on-site for the entire training weekend, creating a fully immersive environment. The training fee includes comfortable accommodations, all meals, snacks, and even access to an open bar—providing exceptional value and convenience. Rawhyde’s all-inclusive setup ends up being significantly more affordable than handling these expenses separately.
