"Learn on Trail" - California BDR Sections 1-3
padu posted a topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
For the first time in the history of Sedlak/SoCal Off-Road School, we are starting to provide tours. Our first one will be the SoCal BDR Sections 1-3. What's different? Learn on Trail - we stop at "lesson spots" and instead of praying everyone makes the other side, we stop, teach the fundamentals and techniques and help you succeed Support truck - we carry your load, you ride light Catered food We have 2 groups: beginner (easy alternates), and regular. We only have one last spot for beginner group, but you guys are not beginners! We leave on a Friday, and back on Monday - easy to justify PTO, or "get sick".

padu replied to padu's topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
Quick update, we changed locations. For this class only, we will have our class in Plaster City. So. if you want to learn the secrets of sand riding from the Baja 1000 Iron Man champ, this class is for you. -

I love that location! Not too far from the desert if we want to adventure that way. -
Best spot - son to learn to ride dirt bike (San Diego County)
padu replied to E-motoDad's topic in Open Discussion
In addition to what has been said, Pala (Fox Raceway) has a large flat area and some trails for when he's ready. Also, if you need any help training him (enduro or motocross), we can help SoCal Off-Road School -

SDAR & SOS Happy Hour Meet & Greet 10/9/24 in Del Mar
padu replied to KTMrad's topic in Upcoming Meetings
Thanks Randy! I'm sending an email to SOS ADV alumni as well. -
We are proud official BDR supporters! As part of our unwavering support for adventure and dual-sport riding, we announce that we have become industry sponsors for the BDR. You probably know us for Adventure and Enduro training. Starting 2025, we will also offer guided tours that include trailside support, food, beverage, and customized instruction at the moment you need it the most - on the trail. I've also been in talks with Randy and we (SOS) also intend to support SDAR on upcoming events and more. Exciting times!

I'm doing it again, this time I will try the hard ways with the DesertX. If you don't know, LAB2V is a super traditional desert "event" (it used to be a desert race, but now it's a ride). It happens the day after thanksgiving (Black Friday). We leave from "LA" (really Palmdale) in the morning and arrive in Barstow in the evening. Saturday, the next day, we leave Barstow and arrive in Vegas (The Orleans Hotel and Casino) in the evening. Photos with showgirls and a nice dinner buffet with raffles and prizes. Sunday is time to come back any way you want. Usually, this is an event for dual sport bikes (I think last time it was 300+ dual sporsters - KTM 500 and similars). There are a few masochists like me and a group of crazy guys that are doing it with big bikes. Edgar Cota, winner of the last Baja 1000 Iron Man will be doing it with a CFMoto 800 - Hard ways as well. It's a fun event. Registrations are open. Here is the highlights from the 2022 edition
