Picture this…

You’re miles from civilization, navigating treacherous backcountry terrain on your adventure motorcycle.

You’re having the time of your life, heart pumping full of adrenaline and excitement – when suddenly – you're in over your head.

The solid ground slowly melts underneath you.

Before you know it, your bike is bogged down in the sand.

And it’s just you, your motorcycle, and the beautifully unrelenting wilderness – with no one to turn to for help.

Unlock your true off-road potential >>

Panic sets in as you realize you might not have what it takes to get out of this situation.

Your confidence wavers and fear takes hold.

I hope this never happens to you, but the harsh reality is that it happens far too often.

Many adventure motorcycle riders think speed equals skill. They adopt a "fake it till you make it" mentality.

They tear through the trails without the skills to back up their bravado.

Instead of hiding their inexperience and lack of confidence, they shine a spotlight on it.

Don't be that rider.

I can always tell when someone is trying to ride beyond their skill level.

They white-knuckle the handlebars, hanging on for dear life. They can’t even enjoy the scenery. They’ve already lost control – and they don’t even realize it.

It's just a matter of time before they get hurt or needlessly damage their bike.

And ultimately lose the respect they were trying so hard to build.

Because, when you’re riding fast and hard, it’s always good – until it’s not.

And it’s not just the hotshots, either.

I see perfectly capable riders stiff in the saddle, trying to force a 600 lb motorcycle to do their bidding.

But that's why skills courses like the Intuitive Riding System are essential.

With my years of experience, including high-pressure situations in the British Special Forces…

I've developed an unparalleled ability to teach and a unique approach to overcoming challenges on the trail – regardless of your experience level.

And I've distilled my knowledge into an easy-to-learn skills course that will set you on the path to becoming a confident, off-road rider.

Unlock your true off-road potential >>

Imagine being the adventure motorcyclist who effortlessly navigates the most challenging terrain, turning heads and earning admiration from fellow riders.

You're secure in your skills, like the most confident guy at the gym.

And you're not just trying to impress others.

You're living up to your own high standards – pushing the limits of what's possible and reaping the rewards.

CEO & Founder of Backcountry Expeditions

Where you start feeling in tune with your bike and how it reacts … and begin riding like a relaxed, zen ADV master instead of a tense ball of nerves.

If that sounds good…

Meet the gold-standard training that will improve your riding skills and UNLEASH YOUR BADASS ADVENTURER on the trails:

Meet Your Instructor

“I have never met somebody that I can't teach the skills of riding Adventure Motorcycles unless they don't want to learn.”

Hi, I’m Neil, and I stand behind that statement. So if you’re ready to learn, I’m ready to teach you.

As a retired British Special Forces Officer with over 20 years of ADV riding experience, I've been asked time and again for guidance on mastering the art of off-road adventure (and trust me, I've seen it all!)

Drawing from my extensive experience in expeditionary planning, navigation, wilderness recovery techniques, and safety & survival, I've designed this online course to make high-level ADV skills training available to more people at a price you can afford…

Because let's face it, adventure riding is already a pricey passion.

Throughout my years of teaching riders as the founder of Backcountry Expeditions and leading adventure motorcycle tours, I've discovered a unique 5-part approach to riding off-road that unlocks rapid skill progression:

Mindset
Speed
Science

Technology
Mechanical sympathy

These are the KEYS to becoming a confident rider, and they're embedded throughout my Online ADV Training.

By mastering these core concepts, you'll be able to:

Deeply understand your bike

I'll show you how to truly comprehend your motorcycle's mechanics and capabilities, so you can make the most of its performance.
Fluidly adapt your body positioning

Learn how to move with your bike, not against it, adapting to the ever-changing environment with ease and precision
Tackle various terrains

I'll teach you to recognize and conquer different terrains with confidence, from loose gravel to rocky inclines – and everything in between.
Navigate obstacles effortlessly

Develop your ability to quickly assess and overcome obstacles with finesse, ensuring you stay in control and keep moving forward

Now, I got called out for being boujee a few years ago. And, at the time, I was a bit taken aback by it.

Because I’m not a boujee guy.

But I realized that in my mission to create the best training on the market, guide the best ADV expeditions, and offer the best riding experience …

I had, in fact, created a business that was… well, a bit boujee.

That's just not how I want things to be.

I think every ADV rider should have access to the best skills training available…

You see, in the military, every mission has three goals:

1. To succeed.

I want everyone to get out and enjoy the thrill of ADV riding.

2. To ride safely.

I want them to enjoy views and terrain few other people get to enjoy.

3. To complete the mission.

I want them to feel the pride of accomplishment that comes with completing a challenging ride.

But I want you to complete the mission too – and come back safely to your family.

So I created an online drills & skills training with all of the benefits of my in-person instruction (that runs upwards of $4,000) but without any of the limitations.

And I packaged it all up at a price point I think you’re going to be pretty happy with.

But, first, let me show what all is inside…

The Backcountry Expeditions team clearly has high expectations for the experience they deliver and, in my opinion, they meet those expectations.
