I know many excellent riders (a few of them MSF instructors) who learned on pavement and have never ridden on dirt. In fact, they assert that dirt riders are (sometimes) harder to teach because they think they already know how to ride and have to break some habits that are dangerous on pavement.
No, I’m not trying to disparage dirt riding. My point is that one way is not the only way (or even necessarily the best ) and education is everywhere … it’s up to the individual to take it in.
