Our Level Three course is designed to give experienced, confident riders exciting new challenges – and ensure you go away with some truly advanced skills and some fantastic stories. The techniques covered in the lessons will teach you how to confidently do things with a BMW GS motorcycle that most people never imagine possible.

You need to have been riding regularly on challenging terrain and putting the skills you have learned on Levels One and Two into practice. After a warm-up trail ride, the day kicks off with a trials and skills course to assess your riding ability. This allows our expert instructors to focus the rest of the course on honing your skills on the endless trails around Walters Arena. The course emphasis is on the technical details that will take your motorcycling skills to another level. Level Three is all about developing these skills with more challenging exercises and trails.

What does Level Three cover?

- Brake slide turns and power slides

- Spin turns

- Advanced ruts and changing ruts

- Pre-loading the suspension

- Complex off-cambers

What do I wear?

It’s essential that you have the appropriate riding kit to ensure your safety. Before your ride, your instructor will inspect all clothing and assess its suitability. Any riders considered to be inadequately clothed or protected will be unable to join the course.

• Helmet - This must be a UK road-legal motorcycle helmet, which conforms to EC22.05 or EC22.06 standards. Please note - we do not stock helmets for hire, you must bring your own.
• Boots - The use of fully-protective motocross boots is mandatory.
  Please note - road, adventure or trials boots are not sufficient and cannot be worn.
• Trousers and jacket - Most modern road-orientated motorcycle clothing is suitable, but we recommended gear that is breathable, waterproof, and lightweight. Full cover is essential.
• Knee protection - It is also essential that you have good knee protection. Ensure that your clothing includes knee protectors or use separate knee guards (our hire kit trousers include knee protectors).
• Gloves - We recommend lightweight gloves as they offer greater dexterity than thick gauntlets.
• Waterproofs - We ride in almost all weathers, so please bring waterproofs or clothing that offers some water / wind protection. It can get wet and windy here in Wales!

If you are in any doubt about the suitability of your boots or other kit, then we have hire clothing available. You can see the details of this here. Hire items can be selected when making your booking online, or added up to two weeks prior to your course start date. It is essential that bookings are made in advance of attending the course as supplies are limited.
