XTR Moto Riding Schedule 2012

17.04.2012.

This year XTR offers two types of off-road riding activity.

One is geared to those of you who are short of time or 'just want to try' and see if it's for you, and the other is geared to those who know it is for them and want to learn/practice more, or who already ride and simply want a great day's ride with us.

1) ''Short of time : just want to try '' 2012:

Sessions are scheduled after working hours, typically 17.00 to 20.00. The session location is a 15 minute drive from downtown Sarajevo in nature and away from public and traffic. XTR staff will meet you there with the bikes and all the kit you need. Typically we limit the attendance to 2 to 4 people. We structure the session according to your riding ability and according to the mix of skills in the group – and safety comes first. For those that have never ridden a motorbike we start with instruction, a small light bike [125cc 4-stroke], a suitably flat and soft terrain, and police cones to mark a basic practice course. An XTR staff will be on hand at all times watching you and advising you as you pick up the basics. How easy is it? As easy as riding a bicycle but with some more caution

. For those with more experience we start with some info and rules for the session and then we set off on 450cc 4-stroke's. Depending on your level and wishes we either lead you on some technical exercises or we do a 1 ½ hour or so enduro circuit. We will choose routes to suit the technical level of the least experienced in any group. You will ride with at least one XTR staff who knows the paths and is there to keep the group together and safe.

2) XTR Off-road Days 2012:

These ''Off-road Days'' are scheduled normally for weekends, either Saturday or Sunday, and are for learners and riders alike, but not for newbies if we haven’t seen you ride before – safety comes first ! Typically we limit the group size to 3 to 5 riders. The days take place either in the mountain ranges [eg Bjelasnica] for enduro, or at the Kresevo motocross track 'Gajice' for track training/workout and/or to ride local enduro circuit which is one of the regional enduro competition circuits. We like to be on the bikes by 10:30 [which normally means a 9am start from Sarajevo] and until late afternoon depending on the group's stamina on the day!

XTR staff will meet you at the advised location with the bikes and all the kit you need; we either go together or we give you a map! We start with introductions and instruction, info about the day and route and the rules of the tour, and then we set off on 450cc 4-stroke's. For the track XTR staff will take you through the track technique depending on your experience and will at all times be observing you. For enduro the group will normally ride with two XTR staff, one at the front and one at the rear, who are experienced riders and know the routes, and are there to keep the group together and safe. We will choose routes to suit the technical level of the least experienced in any group and the locations offer a wide range of choices from macadam and grassy hillocks, to wild hillsides and climbs, forest and water crossings. We will provide bottled water at the track or for you to carry [bring a small light rucksack] but you should bring you own energy drinks or foods as you may need. When we plan the day with you we will agree whether or not we snack on the saddle or do a lunch stop. At the end of the day we will buy you a beer and we can provide a trackside BBQ or other meat-stop .
