One of the best ways to get into the sport of motorcycle riding is to begin by getting dirty. The skills and experience you will need to ride off-road will apply to all forms of motorcycle riding so don’t shy away from getting some experience riding dirt bikes, regardless of what you ride. However, if you want to ride off-road then we recommend training with riders that know their way around a dirt bike. Max Gersten is the Media Rider for the US Hard Enduro championship and an accomplished racer in his own right.
