& LOUISE COLEEN POWERS – BMW BRAND EXPERT
JOIN US FOR ADVENTURE
We are proud to announce Adventure Rider Training hosted by BMW Brand Ambassador Shawn Thomas and BMW Brand Expert Louise Coleen Powers!
WANT TO LEARN ADVENTURE RIDING?
Maybe you have the dream. Maybe you’ve picked out the bike, purchased the gear, and even planned the trip. Or maybe you are a seasoned motorcyclist that is looking for the next chapter in your riding experience. This is a great place to be and we want to help you to be best prepared for this adventure. That comes through training.
WHY TRAINING?
Whether it be sport, touring, dirt, or track, motorcyclists often bring their existing skills to the world of Adventure Riding. Some of these skills marry seamlessly to riding ‘big’ bikes off-road, and some do not. Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced adventure rider, there is no substitute for professional, thoughtful coaching from experienced professionals. This will help you learn and understand new skills, and reinforce those that you already employ.
PROFESSIONAL COACHING AND TRAINING.
Shawn Thomas is an Internationally Certified Off-Road Instructor with a passion helping Adventure Riders be the best they can be. Louise Powers is a world-traveling Adventure Rider with tens of thousands of miles racked up on her bikes. And at under 5’ 4” tall, Louise has a unique understanding of what it takes to ride “big” adventure bikes (she owns and rides a BMW R 1250 GS HP!).
Together, Shawn and Louise bring decades of experience teaching over 10,000 Adventure Riders worldwide. When you train with this team of Adventure Riders, you are in the hands of seasoned professionals who want to make you a better and more confident rider.
ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR THE EXCEPTIONAL ADVENTURE RIDER
The best riders will tell you that 4 Core Elements—Balance, Braking, Clutch and Throttle Control—are critical to achieving nearly all you would ever want to accomplish on an Adventure Motorcycle. These fundamental elements are where your training will begin. Through a series of instruction, drills and coaching, Shawn and his team will hone, combine and enhance these core elements, thereby building your skills AND confidence.
YOU CAN DO MORE THAN YOU THINK.

What our customers are saying
“I’ve been riding motorcycles for 30 years and ride on trails alone all the time. I still feel like it was very valuable to attend GAS. That class taught me to use the full spectrum of the clutch, which has made me a better rider. ”
“I had a wonderful time training and gaining experience. It absolutely made me a better rider at slow speeds, and I can handle my bike with more confidence because of GAS. It was great to have such varied terrain for practice!”
“The Coaches are qualified instructors who employ safety as well as strategy on the courses throughout two full days of training. I learned control tactics that are the basic building blocks for adventure riding on surfaces like gravel, mud and water crossings.”
