Off-Road Training on a BMW 1250gs @BMWUSRiderAcademy

Hi Gearshifters! I hope you enjoy riding along with me on a two-day off-road class taught by the #BMWUSRiderAcademy at the BMW Performance Center in Spartanburg, SC. I thought I would be taking this class on a BMW 310 GS, but instead, I took the class on a BMW 1250 GS. This was my second off-road training class. It was a great class for any riding level. I was able to realize great improvement over the two day program. I increased my skills and fell in love with the 1250gs. Thanks to each of my instructors: Mackenzie, Wendy, Thomas, Michael, and special thanks to Sam for adjusting our bikes and providing support throughout the entire weekend.

Keep the shiny side up,
Jordan

Just went to the Rider Academy with MOA. I took the on-road course but some did the off-road. they also commented on sand and gravel pits. It was a great 2 days! definitely recommend it. congrats on completing it and getting comfortable around trees.

I did the the 1 day on-road about 6 years ago. It was a lot of fun. My gopro died and I could not record more fun stuff in the afternoon. Hopefully, I'll get there for some refresh in the future. Great place to visit and learn. On top, Greenville is a great little town.

So how would the humble 310 have faired?
Great Videolog of the course by the way, very confidence inspiring. I have never side saddled even a bycycle.
