My experience attending Chris Birch's Say No To Slow coaching course

Adventure motorcycling is challenging and can be dangerous if one lacks proper bike setup, form, and training. I attended Chris Birch's Say No To Slow coaching course in Georgia on April 23rd and 24th at Highland Park Resort in Cedartown, Georgia, and wanted to share what it meant to me and how it's helped me become a more competent and confident off-road rider. Join me and a group of my classmates as we embark on an off-road adventure with Chris Birch.

Wow, I’ve been looking for some good quality coaching and never dreamed that I’d be able to actually take one of his classes, but it actually worked out! I’m attending his May course in Utah next month! Thank you for this video - it truly captured the essence of the course!

Good stuff mate. The bloke is a freak how well he rides. Dunno if I will ever get to one his courses but I get heaps out of his online course. I made the mistake of watching the whole thing and thinking I knew everything. Now I watch a chapter a few times and hit the road. He seems like a really nice fellow too.

I have both his dirt bike and adv bike video series. I ride an air cooled BMW GSA, and also a ktm excf. His ADV video was really helpful when I did my first BDR (NEBDR) with some friendS, all with very little experience. Chris’ video instruction got me through 8 days of riding, some of it really insanely tough, without any issues. And his personality in all of the footage I have seen is amazing and friendly. Love his work! Glad you were able to do it in person. What an experience!

I attended this class over Labor Day weekend in 2022 at the same place. If your budget allows it's well worth your time, money and effort to attend. Chris Birch and his assistant (also Chris) were very good trainers. I have his video set prior to signing up for the class, BUT getting 1st hand instruction on foot / leg placement and feedback was PURE GOLD for me. I was blown away at how well I started to handle my 1290 SAR, and all by learning something SO basic.
I intend to get back to one of his future classes as soon as my work schedule allows.

I also had the opportunity to attend a class with Chris earlier this year. I learned SO much. I recommend anyone riding offroad with a big bike to attend this training or one similar to it. Also shocked as to how humble is Chris as a person. Will take this training again in a heart beat if I have the opportunity.

Excellent video. I know that most will start off roading on these behemoths. Later on when you graduate to a light dirt bike, you will be having nothing but fun. Take care my single track friends.

This such a cool video uncle mike! Definitely inspiring me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things 🥳

Wow! Thanks for the video. I’m convinced I need to take his course now!

Great video! Truly enjoyable viewing experience. I learned to ride on dual sport bikes back in the 80's lol...I know eons ago. I take delivery of my brand spanking new Husky 901 expedition next week and can hardly contain my excitement! Again great job on the video and many thanks for sharing!

[konstantinkolaxazov]

Great content! I am planing next year to take the course. Missed it this year in Georgia. Thank you for sharing . Looking forward to improve my skills on my KTM 790. Cheers!

I just bought his online course and now this video makes me want to take his coaching course!

[MotoVania]

Very cool man, thanks for sharing this!

[bikegiant]

Really want to take one these courses myself! Thanks for sharing.

Seen this video a couple weeks ago and realized I missed an event that I didn’t even know about. Definitely would have went to that. I only live like an hour away in Acworth Georgia. Used to watch him a lot when he reviews the KTM adventure bikes.

[escorriola]

I had this course earlier this year in Panama, with 100% humity and extreme heat. more you learn, the fewer you recongnize you knew...

Impressive video and editing, @Ehwaz! The audio was likewise well done.
Very familiar with CB -- from a distance; subscribed to his channel(-s) and bought the Say No to Slow video course. Hoping to get to a live class in the near future.
Thanks for the tour and review; again kudos for a very engaging and very well produced summary!
