Be sure to check the Adventure Sidecar Training page for details



We will offer 4 Novice S/TEP classes in 2012 with the option of staying in a Tipi over the weekend.

First Step

New for 2012 will be a beginners pre-class for people with no motorcycle experience at all. This would allow them an hour or two of practice with the throttle and clutch Friday afternoon before the S/TEP class actually starts. My hope is getting a chance to become familiar with how a motorcycle operates without the rest of the class watching will take the pressure off the real beginners, and provide them with a safer and more enjoyable experience.

First Step is only available to participants registered for the Novice S/TEP Class. It begins Friday at 3:00 and finishes at 4:30 allowing just enough time to grab a bite before the S/TEP class starts.

Dates for First Step sessions in 2012 are May 4, June 1, July 6 And Sept 28, 2012

Cost is $75.00. Pre-registration and payment in advance required.
Sign-up through Hood River Community Education. Check the Adventure Sidecar Training page for details.

2012 Dualsport Sidecar Skills Seminar

We will offer an Advanced S/TEP class in June, to coincide with the Black Dog AMA National Dualsport & Adventure Ride.

The S/TEP class will begin Friday evening, June 8th and continue Saturday, June 9th with a short ride Saturday afternoon to practice using a roll chart and a few off pavement techniques. The price includes entry to the Sunday Blackdog ride. Tipis will be available for camping during the rally. This class is restricted to folks with prior sidecar experience and requires pre registration. An optional passenger seminar will be available. Sidecars are not provided but I do have a few available to rent on a first come basis, provided you pass the S/TEP portion of the program and don’t scare me too badly ;-)

Prior sidecar experience or a previous S/TEP class is recommended for this program. Drivers must be at least 21 and have a valid motorcycle endorsement.

Dualsport Skills Seminar Driver Only $350

Dualsport Skills Seminar Driver + Sidecar Passenger Workshop $475

Registration information and links will be posted here once we have the classes published in the Hood River Community Education catalog. Check the Adventure Sidecar Training page for details.
