Level 3: The Next Step
Next Step: Level 3 Training — Colorado Edition
The Next Step in Colorado delivers the same Level 3 progression as our California program, but with a distinctly different environment: high-altitude terrain, wide-open views, rolling meadows, rocky features, and natural technical elements that make Colorado an incredible place to level up your off-road skillset.
This is where you go beyond the fundamentals and step into a more demanding, more technical riding experience. You’ll increase speed, sharpen precision, and build real mastery of your BMW GS in terrain that feels wild, remote, and purpose-built for progression.
What You’ll Train On
You’ll work through all of our advanced Level 3 drills, adapted to the natural features of our Colorado property:
-
Controlled rear-wheel lockups for skid turns
-
Lofting the front tire to clear obstacles
-
Balance and slow-speed mastery
-
Line selection and trail-reading skills
-
Momentum management on varied surfaces
-
Tackling natural terrain features unique to Colorado’s high country
You’ll learn how to handle steeper climbs, looser soil, rockier sections, and the varied traction conditions that Colorado naturally provides.
Instruction & Coaching
Training is led by our top-tier instructor team — all USMCA certified and trained directly by BMW-certified coaches from Germany. These are some of the best ADV instructors in North America, and the Colorado environment gives them an incredible canvas to push your skills further.
