How To Ride Off Road with BMW Off Road Skills - Motorcycle Live 2020

-----
During COVID times we couldn’t visit Motorcycle Live at the NEC Birmingham. Instead we decided to re-enact our traditional Motorcycle Live demonstration at our home ground at Walters Arena on a wet and windy day in November.

Watch on for a tiny taste of some of the lessons you might cover on some of the different courses we run. Whether you’re riding off-road for the first time or wanting to take your skills to the next level, the BMW Off Road Skills team have got you covered!

Seriously one of the best video on YouTube you can find regarding level 1 off road riding.
Cannot count the times I have watched it.

This particular instructor is outstanding. Thanks Niel!

[MeThorvald]

My first reaction was like - "Well I knew GS is well balanced..."
Then Neil started doing some super tight turns - "Well, my driving instructor showcased this to me too..."
And then the fun part started - "What sorcery is that?!"

That is probably the clearest & most professional instructional video I have ever seen. After seeing that I’d love to join one of your courses someday soon. Thank you for the video.

[wnicklas]

This might be the best YouTube video ever seen, about off road skills. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

that synchronized power sliding made me smile like a child

Chris, you were my instructor for Level 1 and also on the GS Trophy in 2016 as team Captain, Chandlers BMW.
I actually used the very first skill Chris taught me in the real world, when my R1200RT was in the middle of the road on its side after a very slow spill.
Calm, not panicked or embarrassed. 
Without the need for any help, the bike came up in one go and safe on the side stand.
I live and ride in Spain and the skills they taught me i use everyday on the RT.
As an advanced instructor now i even teach some of these skills to my pupils.
Thank you for two days in the pouring rain that had me screaming like a schoolgirl for the most fun i had ever had on two wheels. I admit i was teachers pet and i don't mind admitting it.
I have fantastic memories and skills.
Wishing you all the love and respect to all at ORS.
Regards
Micky.

Just done this course and can’t believe how you progress over two days. Brilliant instructions and instructors.

[Kanakid]

Love this! I’ve been riding for 50 years. I learned from your video. Thank you.

[MRGS]

Mr. Neil is AMAZING... Any amount of money you pay for safety is money well spend!! Cheers from across the pond

[sanatandharma]

Well! I'm blown away! When you let go of the bike and it stayed balanced! What a machine, and what great artists of the saddle! I have held wrong views regarding this behemoth of a motorcycle!! Thank you! Now where is my piggy bank?

[bucketlistbikers]

A brilliant series of training courses that help you to confidently build skills.

A big thank you from a KTM driver, this was GREAT to watch!

If you were unsure about booking a course with ORS, just do it. I’ve done Level 1 and 2 with the team in Wales and I had so much fun and learned so much! It is such a buzz. Can’t wait for Level 3 :)

[davidwillard]

I did a level 2 course followed by a 5 day adventure ride with these guys in Tasmania 2019. They are awesome instructors & I highly recommend doing the course on whatever adventure bike you own. BTW Neil the indicator switch on the Africa Twin is still working fine!

[horatio]

I did Level 1 and 2 as well as the Maintenance course in Wales a few years back. It is brilliant. Made me a much more safer and confident rider. Will do level 3 when things are a bit more normal post covid. This course should be actually done by any motorbike rider regardless whether they do off road or not, you learn so much about motorbike handling. And also, it is a hell of a weekend. So much fun!!!

Beginner here with a crf300 rally. Coming from many years of street riding one big thing for me is to get over my ego that I know what I’m doing. Fantastic lessons here. Going out to practice right now! I’m based in the US but I would love to take this course. Thanks for posting! 🤙🤙

[richardchapman]

I've had three of the best weekends of my life with ORS in Wales. I thought I was pretty good on a bike but man did I learn some skills, tricks and more importantly confidence on the amazing BMW GS.
Its also true what the boys say you do it on their bikes so just go and play. Oh and I did park a bike on its dash after a big mishap off a fire road. It took 5 of us to get the bike back on the trail, but the mighty GS just fired up and off I went for the rest of the day.

[timshaw]

I remember doing the same course 20 years ago with John Deacon and Simon Pavey, worth every penny

[Carambolero]

Those bikes are absolute beauty. Hope to ride this one day. Nice class.
