Lots of emphasis on body position, sitting as far forward as you can. Then it was counter weighting in tight turns. Not much different from street riding but when your crotch is on the handlebars surprisingly difficult to do. Then it was riding in a tight circle, then a figure 8, then a figure 8 in formation with the other riders, crossing over in the middle, then riding over some humps in the ground Then we got to go over some obstacles, maybe a foot and a half high. Easy to do but pretty hard to do it right (the seat would come up and smack you in the ass if you did not get your body forward in time). Then it was off to the hill where we practiced a tight turn on a hill, turning your bike around on a hill after you get stuck, then riding parallel to the hill. The only spills of the day came on the hill.
Think that was about it. Over 5 hours in riding time, not as much “class” work as on the street courses. Two days later and I can still barely walk.
At the end of the class we got to practice on other bikes so I had a go on the KLX (the green one in the top right of the pic). This is proper dual sport, only a 250cc engine but physically large. I almost could not get my leg over the seat. Completely different experience from the little 125 I had been on. Very smooth clutch (the 125’s clutch was on/off and I had struggled with that all day, thought it was just me being a dumbass). But being so high made it weird. Did not push my luck sliding it in the turns as I did not want to fall at this stage of the day. The guy who had the 800GS tried to use it briefly but gave up cause it was so slippy. His tires were not as knobbly as the true dirt bikes and I am sure his tire pressures were too high. I could press in my tire with my thumb with ease.
Here is cheesy promo video but it gives you a taste of what they teach.
