A warm-up trail ride sets the scene for our Level Two course, where you can expect lots of trail riding between the lessons as we begin to develop your skills beyond Level One. From changing direction to riding off-camber trails and adjusting your riding position; the instructors will help you develop your existing core skills and learn new techniques. Vision and planning training will allow you to assess the trail ahead and deal with obstacles.

As always at BMW Off Road Skills, we aren’t just going to throw obstacles at you and expect you to deal with them. Our courses are heavily based around learning sessions focused on specific techniques, followed by trail rides to put those lessons into practice. With plenty of time in the saddle, the course emphasis is on bringing together your newly-acquired techniques and developing your full skill-set, ensuring riders will be challenged.

Level Two is designed to develop your enthusiasm into the confidence to use all the skills you have learned. By the end of day two, you will know if you are ready for our advanced Level Three course.

What does Level Two cover?

- Advanced riding position

- Downhill turns

- Turning on the trail

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.
