2009 BMW East and West Coast Training Classes

East Coast

The East Coast Performance Center provides a solid basis for riding skill in one-day off-road or on-road classes, or in two-day off-road sessions. Dates for on- and off-road training classes are intentionally staggered to allow riders to experience both in a single two-day period if desired.

The two-day enduro classes are a new addition for 2009, based on popular demand. For more info at a spiffy BMW site, go here.

West Coast

The new West Coast BMW Off-Road Academy has been launched, operated by Jim Hyde of RawHyde Adventures at his “Adventure Camp”. The Adventure Camp is a 500-acre facility is located in Southern California north of Los Angeles and is one of only 8 places in the world where you can learn to ride the BMW’s legendary GS the way it was meant to be ridden. Even riders who rarely venture off the tarmac can benefit immensely from these classes, which increase rider confidence as well as skills.
