Pandora’s Adventure Training Park Classes (led by Rick Trimble)

“Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other.”

-Ben Franklin-

We are pleased to announce the official opening of the Pandora’s Adventure Training Park.  This has been made possible by the collaboration and support of some top notch Customers and a very talented instructor named Rick Trimble.  All street legal Enduro bikes are welcome.  These programs are meant to teach riders how to handle a ‘big bike’ in the dirt as well as a variety of other terrains and conditions.  These programs will promote safety and control, and be beneficial to Enduro riders of all skill levels.  The Open Park time is designed to let customers practice and reinforce on their own time.

Just as we offer Track Day programs for our street customers, the Pandora’s Adventure Training Park is meant to improve riding skills in the face of unexpected challenges when you are riding in the back country.  This is also an alternative to the customer that does not have the time to get to the back country, and would like the opportunity to hit a variety of different terrains and conditions in a short window….it can be easier to get permission from the Mrs for a two hour ride in the Adventure Training Park than it can be for a half day ride.
