Pre Training

Rawhyde’s Pre-Training Clinic is designed for riders who want a little extra learning time before diving into a full weekend of off-road training. Many new riders feel some jitters before their first class, and this program offers the perfect opportunity to ease in, build confidence, and get comfortable on the bike before the pace picks up.

Held on Friday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:30 pm, the Pre-Training Clinic gives you four focused hours of instruction before the rest of the group arrives. The goal is simple: help you get your feet wet, settle your nerves, and start the weekend already feeling more prepared. The session covers core fundamentals like balance, throttle and clutch control, smooth braking on loose terrain, and basic maneuvering skills. These building blocks make Saturday morning far less intimidating and help you get more out of your full training course.

The clinic is intentionally small to provide a personalized experience, with plenty of one-on-one coaching and extra seat time. It is especially helpful for riders who are brand new to off-road riding or who simply want more hands-on practice before the formal curriculum begins.

Another key benefit involves bike rentals. If you are renting a motorcycle for the weekend training, you may use the same rental bike during the Friday Pre-Training Clinic at no additional charge. That means extra time on the bike you’ll be training on, with more familiarity and more confidence going into the weekend.

With early arrival, additional practice, and individualized coaching, the Pre-Training Clinic gives you a strong head start and ensures you begin the weekend feeling more relaxed, capable, and ready for the adventure ahead.
