DirtBike School(DBS)
DBS is a pair of one-day training courses conducted off-road on enduro motorcycles, intended for riders interested in recreational trail riding.

• Closed Range Exercise (CRE) course provides training at a controlled off-road area with an emphasis on safety and skill development. Students learn basic techniques for safely riding off-highway motorcycles. 
• Introduction to Trail Riding (ITR) builds on the knowledge developed in the CRE course and teaches more advanced riding skills on actual trails. Lessons may include riding in sand and mud, through creek crossings and ruts, and over rocks, hills and whoop-de-doos.
