Seriously one of the best video on KZfaq you can find regarding level 1 off road riding. Cannot count the times I have watched it.

that synchronized power sliding made me smile like a child

This particular instructor is outstanding. Thanks Niel!

My first reaction was like - "Well I knew GS is well balanced..." Then Neil started doing some super tight turns - "Well, my driving instructor showcased this to me too..." And then the fun part started - "What sorcery is that?!"

Just done this course and can’t believe how you progress over two days. Brilliant instructions and instructors.

Starting with how to pick the bike up reminds me of our welding instructor's favorite saying: "The world's best welding instructor is a 40 pound grinder".

Chris, you were my instructor for Level 1 and also on the GS Trophy in 2016 as team Captain, Chandlers BMW. I actually used the very first skill Chris taught me in the real world, when my R1200RT was in the middle of the road on its side after a very slow spill. Calm, not panicked or embarrassed. Without the need for any help, the bike came up in one go and safe on the side stand. I live and ride in Spain and the skills they taught me i use everyday on the RT. As an advanced instructor now i even teach some of these skills to my pupils. Thank you for two days in the pouring rain that had me screaming like a schoolgirl for the most fun i had ever had on two wheels. I admit i was teachers pet and i don't mind admitting it. I have fantastic memories and skills. Wishing you all the love and respect to all at ORS. Regards Micky.

That is probably the clearest & most professional instructional video I have ever seen. After seeing that I’d love to join one of your courses someday soon. Thank you for the video.

Cool, don't need to go on the course now, saved £550, thanks lads.

Mr. Neil is AMAZING... Any amount of money you pay for safety is money well spend!! Cheers from across the pond

This might be the best KZfaq video ever seen, about off road skills. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I did a level 2 course followed by a 5 day adventure ride with these guys in Tasmania 2019. They are awesome instructors & I highly recommend doing the course on whatever adventure bike you own. BTW Neil the indicator switch on the Africa Twin is still working fine!

If you were unsure about booking a course with ORS, just do it. I’ve done Level 1 and 2 with the team in Wales and I had so much fun and learned so much! It is such a buzz. Can’t wait for Level 3 :)

I miss this so much. Had brilliant level 1&2 training with Neil and Chris. The whole school worth every penny! Now i dont live in the UK anymore but will def come back for brecon beacons trip or level 3 when we can travel freely! Great vid and congrats on Neil's great success in Dakar!!!

Chris Northover... such a good bloke ! Talented but humble. Witty and smart, but also a good listener. I absolutely love Simon and Lel Pavey’s team ....compelling fun. Ignore the price, it’s actually pretty cheap for what they deliver over the two days. (But that won’t be apparent till you’ve completed the experience and training with them)

Beginner here with a crf300 rally. Coming from many years of street riding one big thing for me is to get over my ego that I know what I’m doing. Fantastic lessons here. Going out to practice right now! I’m based in the US but I would love to take this course. Thanks for posting! 🤙🤙

I did Level 1 and 2 as well as the Maintenance course in Wales a few years back. It is brilliant. Made me a much more safer and confident rider. Will do level 3 when things are a bit more normal post covid. This course should be actually done by any motorbike rider regardless whether they do off road or not, you learn so much about motorbike handling. And also, it is a hell of a weekend. So much fun!!!

I did this in August this year (Friday 13th!!) and it was even more fun than it looks here. A fantastic couple of days which ended with me doing things with the bike I would not have believed possible 48 hrs earlier. Brilliant instructors and well worth every penny.

I've had three of the best weekends of my life with ORS in Wales. I thought I was pretty good on a bike but man did I learn some skills, tricks and more importantly confidence on the amazing BMW GS. Its also true what the boys say you do it on their bikes so just go and play. Oh and I did park a bike on its dash after a big mishap off a fire road. It took 5 of us to get the bike back on the trail, but the mighty GS just fired up and off I went for the rest of the day.

I don't go off-road but think I'll sign up for this. Got my GS Rallye 2 weeks ago and still sh*tting myself manhandling it around car parks etc. This course should do the trick :) Cheers!

Absolute GOLD !!! very new to ADV riding and into the deep end with a GS… but no regrets .. slow and steady and grin from ear to ear … love the tutorials and keen to get out and enjoy !!! Thanks Lads … Steve (Adelaide Aust) 🙏

Excellent presentation, great work guys, hope to get on this course one day. Hope to see the demonstration again at this year's NEC Motorcycle Live 🤞.

A brilliant series of training courses that help you to confidently build skills.

That was my first "How to...." for the off road experience I am about to get stuck into. Ordering my new GSA this week so now looking for good off road training courses here in Sydney Australia. Done 30+ years of touring on my K100RS now it's time to learn some new riding skills. Enjoyed your video, thanks for doing it.

I did this course about 6 years ago with the team in Wales . One of the best weekends of fun and learning. It also improves your road riding skills and bike confidence. Time for a re-fresh I think

You make it seem so easy! Starting from basics, gaining confidence, it is possible to build advanced skills. You just need to want to do it.

I remember doing the same course 20 years ago with John Deacon and Simon Pavey, worth every penny

That was an amazing demonstration! Thank You for posting (greetings from Canada)

Those bikes are absolute beauty. Hope to ride this one day. Nice class.

Soooo much fun while improving your skills and learning from the pro’s! Thanks for the effort making this video, guys!

Really nice video. I would love to attend one of these schools.

That ending part was lit 🔥

Absolutely brilliant👍 Makes the GS looks so light !

Nice ! I’m an older rider (76) with a just purchased R1150 GS-A…this may help me learn how to tame the beast! Wish they were local !

I did the Level 1 course a couple of years ago, gives you great confidence in bike handling. And first-class instructors!

Wow! Bloody Brilliant! Can't wait to emulate on my new G 310 GS when I take delivery... Thank you. 😉

you two are awesome team! :)

Well! I'm blown away! When you let go of the bike and it stayed balanced! What a machine, and what great artists of the saddle! I have held wrong views regarding this behemoth of a motorcycle!! Thank you! Now where is my piggy bank?

Such incredibly helpful riding advice! Thanks so much for posting this segment.

Absolutely amazing class mates and confidence skills. That's how we need to approach and take action in any situation. Thanks brothers and keep it up.

You are awesome guys , thanks everyone .

Thanks for this vid. Excellent, very informative. Especially bike pickup & balance. Well done!

Brilliant guidance of off-road skills. I wouldn't expect anything less from Bmw. Thank you for sharing. I hope there's more to come 👍

Thank you.. Thank you!!.. As a track rider and daily commuter, this is soooo cool and makes sense!!

You Guys are great. As for me, after going down, I always scramble to get back up on the bike Before the Dust Clears!

Another good thing I like about video's like this, is that we also that get to know the instructor's. For me that is a big thing if I am going to put my money into them. So please keep these video's coming! I'd like to see stage 2 and 3 video's!

EXCELENTES consejos, muy bien explicados , gracias. saludos desde México.

thanks I'm off to buy a 1200 GS , great confidence inspiring instruction

On the strength of this great video, I'm booked-in for the Level 2 course. If it's half as much fun as it looks and I make it through unscathed, might just do the next level in 2022.

Neil is an excellent teacher. What a great video.

I swear that bike could not have been heavier than 150 kilos, the way that dude rode it...

Can't wait to see you guys in June! Wish power sliding was part of level 1 after seeing this ha.

great vid guys, i did the portugal trip last year and was booked in for this year..... :-( ... maybe next year now

Amazingly nerdish! Thanks a lot for this. I am currently trying to buy myself my first motorcycle for traveling around Europe. Watching this is gold, and what a great presentation team you two are!

A great course and a great team to do this with. Cant wait to do my level 2

A lot of thanks to you guys... I've learned a lot on how to properly drive off road on my bike

Loved this...though I ride a 250cc sports bike, but these skills gonna help me somewhere down the line, for sure. Thanks again and a Happy New Year to all of You.

Fantastic video. Will try this on my tdm 900

Simple, necessary and understandable. Thanks

Looks like a glorious British summer day.

Wow! I really learned a lot. Looking forward to the next, keep it up!

Thanks guys. Looking forward to doing level 2 in August. Just hope the weather will be as good as this years.

Excellent presentation. I'm brand new to motorcycles (at age 64), athletic and just got the cycle bug. I'll be taking the Harley safety course (2 day training).....which seams like a good foundation to have. I know little to nothing about motorcycles....but I've found the idea of owning something that goes off road, or on road equally well, would be suit mel. As an aside, for those that still believe they are getting the truth from the media and public servants, read "Virus Mania" by Engelbrecht and learn the history of science fraud and big pharma. Now....back to watching this informative video.

Great Job ....guys...it was a pleasure to see you on the bike....Greetings from Germany...well done 👍

Neo.. You are great.

I wonder how many acres of land they have to ride on there... ;-) Looks like a great course. See you there soon. 👌

Excellent!

I totally agree with you to engage the bike as a part of our body.

Chris Nothover - what a pleasant surprise! You bloody ripper.

Wow this is a great demonstration and thank you neil for your effort to share your off road skills... great video...new subscriber from philippines boss

Thanks!!! Need to sign up for several of these.

This was great; subscribed 🤙

Great video thanks guys

I can hardly wait to get out there and practice!! The more we practice the smoother the skills! ✌️It would be nice if you talked about preload a little more beyond saying just use it. Not everyone will understand otherwise.

this was great, thanks!

Wow! Really nice video. Thank you boys

This is brilliant

Love the video,how about with the bike full loaded??i wold love to see same exercises but with bike full loaded..thanks

Great job guys! Will be coming back to do Level 3!!

That was fantastic!

Great video guys

Best team ever...congrats. And hope to meet you soon.

Thanks for the tips. Helps a lot. Cheers!

AMAZING!!!!!!!

I really love these type of video's, it's so clear you guys love and know what you do! It reminds me so much of my Camel Trophy days where the spirit was very similar! I hope to be able to come over from Holland soon to do a course; show me the difference between the Land Rover 4x4's and these 2 wheeled monsters. (have one myself) What tires do you have on them, the Heidenau K60 scouts? Cheers and keep those great video's coming!

Great video , thank you for taking time time to do this

Wow… these guys are awesome!

Fantastic presentation.

great content! subbed!

Excellent. Thanks a lot

Well done Chris! I hope you managed to sellotape those £20 notes together 😂😂😂. You had to be there!

What a seriously fantastic video!

Awesome video my dudes 🔥

Call me weird but this just makes me want to do Level 1 again. All the best for 2021!

Neil, Chris good job! Greetings from Poland ;-)

Fantastic video.

Level one and two were great fun. Not sure if I can remember much of it now.

Thanks!! Step by step, a lot of information.

Brilliant video!

Nice vid! Just curious. I was always thought to stand on the left side whilst walking the bike, puts your hand in a better position for throttle control. What do you think?
