Are there any adult focussed offroad riding schools in the upper north island?
Im not talking about teaching being the latest crusty demon or MX star Just learning how to ride well and smoothly in different offroad conditions.
Im really enjoying the riding i am getting to do But I wanna get more competent at the offroad

MIchael Cotter is a very good coach,he does most wednesday's at Kimmy's farm, but will come to you as well if you have somewhere to ride, i have his number if you need it,
Also BRoxy does rider coaching as well, we has a good rep,
also Chris Birch does some coaching as well,

I was going to do some birchy training, but I spent all my money on fixing my bike. Bugger. I'll hopefully try to do some training later on in the year.....

I'm keen to do some training, just not sure which one would be the best. Also need to be with a group so would have to tag along with some other people.

It's not upper island but if you fancied a bit of a drive Mike Cotter is a running a few subsidised coaching days for Kawasaki riders. $50 for the day! They are listed in the back of the latest DRD however the Taupo date has now been changed to 21st February. It may be ‘first come - first served’ so not sure if it's booked up. His email is: madracing1@xtra.co.nz :)

Sameless self promotion ahoy!
I do one on one and group off road coaching. Off road coaching not MX based so focused on trail riding and enduro/XC skills. I'm based in Auckland.
Check out www.birchy.co.nz for more info
