Next Step

Next Step is Rawhyde’s Level 3 training program, designed for intermediate to advanced riders who are ready to move beyond the fundamentals and take on more demanding off road terrain with skill and confidence. This course builds directly on Intro to Adventure and provides the essential techniques, coaching, and real world preparation needed for tougher backcountry routes, multi day ADV rides, and the kind of technical obstacles riders encounter when they start exploring deeper into the wilderness. It is the ideal progression for anyone who has mastered the basics and wants to expand their capabilities in a safe, structured, and challenging environment.

Throughout the program, riders sharpen the foundational techniques learned in Intro to Adventure while adding the more advanced skills required to ride confidently in complex terrain. Training focuses on refined body positioning, traction management on loose or inconsistent surfaces, advanced clutch and throttle control, and maintaining momentum when the terrain demands commitment. You’ll practice handling steeper and more sustained climbs and descents, navigating off camber corners, riding through deeper ruts and rain channels, managing sand and softer soil, executing tight turns in confined spaces, and recovering smoothly when the bike becomes unsettled or traction breaks away.

Each drill is taught using a step by step progression with demonstrations, guided practice, and direct coaching from our Rawhyde instructors. The emphasis is on building confidence through repetition and developing the ability to analyze terrain, make good decisions at speed, and react instinctively when conditions become unpredictable. Instructors work closely with riders to provide individualized feedback, ensuring that you understand not just how to execute each technique, but why it works and when to use it.

Next Step serves as the bridge between basic off road competency and the more rugged, technical riding that defines true adventure. By the end of the course, riders gain improved control, greater situational awareness, and the confidence to tackle more challenging terrain. If you’re ready to level up your riding and push your boundaries in a supportive but demanding training environment, this course will give you the skills and mindset needed to ride farther, ride smarter, and ride with greater control and precision.
