Did you just get a new adventure or dual-sport bike, and can't wait to hit the TET, the ACT, or any other event or known track around your area?
The Express training is for you!
Although the Express training can never replace our level training, nor the specific technique training, we managed to compress six days of training into two, so you can be ready to hit the trails faster.
Because it is fiscally impossible to teach 48 hours of techniques, tricks, and tips in 16, this training follows an exceptionally unique schedule.
We will go over the basics such as:
- Triangular position
- Emergency braking
- Cornering
- Hills
While explaining to you:
- The safety envelope this training will give you
- Clear instructions as to what you can train on your own afterward to continue improving
- Basic principles of more advanced maneuvers so you are aware of what lies ahead
With a clear understanding of basic techniques as well as of will be needed to evolve, you are bound to understand precisely what you know and what you don't, giving you a big safety net to start your off-road adventures.
As we are compacting a considerable amount of information is only two days, this training is the most physically intense of our curriculum, with a class cadence much higher than we usually do.
You don't need to be super fit or an athlete to complete our Express training successfully, anyone can do it, but be prepared for two high-intensity days without many rests stops, and with a great deal of information being delivered.
To achieve our training goals, you will be allowed less time to practice per exercise, and activities like ergonomic adjustments will have to be skipped, even though they will be taught and spoken of.
If you are in a rush to start riding, and you don't want to lose one second of off-road fun, then this training is all you have been searching for!
As far as tires are concerned, we strongly recommend a 50-50 tire, with no need for seriously knobbies.

Languages:
There is nothing worst than having a class to learn something, just to realize you and your instructor cannot understand each other. We know, we have been there, both as instructors and students.
With this in mind, we decided to stick to what we know down to the core, so our classes are hosted in both Portuguese and/or English.
Conditions:
Everything has rules, and our trainings and tours are no different, so let's go over what you need to know to attend this training.
- At least a 50-50 tire, designated as is by its respective manufacturer (recommend)
- An integral helmet that is not modular
- Protection gloves
- A suit or assorted protections capable of protecting your back, upper and lower members
- A mid-calf or full-calf boot, preferentially, off-road biased
If you have any doubts about the gear or tires, let us know before you sign up for the class, as our instructors and guides have the right to refuse your participation in any of our activities, without reimbursement, if you do not present yourself with the minimum required safety gear.
As far as gas is concerned, it is important that you know that our Enduro Camp is 15 minutes away from the closest gas station and that we do not store extra gasoline on the camp.
This means that it is your responsibility to arrive with a full tank, or enough for at least 100kms or 60miles before the start of any activity.
The minimum quantity of fuel may vary depending on the activity, but it will always be disclosed to you beforehand.
Even though we are always flexible, due to the distance of the gas station, and out of respect for the instructors and the remaining participants, we generally cannot delay the start of any activity due to any participant's lack of fuel, the same way that there is no guarantee that any staff member will be available to escort you to the fuel station.
So get your bike fueled up, get your gear on, and come enjoy this incredible training!
