A selection of motorcycle skills exercises ideal for GS Trophy qualification training or simply to become more confident off-road.

Some of these adventure motorcycle skill development exercises are for beginner riders, whilst others are perfect to challenge more experienced riders.

If you are training for GS Trophy qualifiers, we wish you the best of luck. We understand the excitement of this event, as we have been there once ourselves.

These agility & skills courses/exercises are designed to help develop the fundamental riding skills of clutch, throttle, brake and active balance by the rider.

Precise practice in coordinating these techniques can lead to instinctive/reflexive actions by the rider and allow for more precise control of the motorcycle.

Mastery of these techniques allows the rider to more smoothly transition the bike when cornering as well as being able to react reflexively when encountering unexpected changes in surface traction in off road conditions.

Depending on your skill level, you may want to make the courses larger to feel more comfortable while you develop these skills.

Performing these exercises carries a risk of dropping your motorcycle which may result in damage to you or your motorcycle. Always be sure that your bike has the proper crash guards and that you also wear the appropriate protective gear.
