MotoVentures Anza Rider Training Center  is a private 300-acre rider training facility exclusive to MotoVentures customers.  Our large property is truly unique and one of the largest dedicated off-road rider training sites in America. We’re not a tiny featureless dirt lot near the city and not a flat dirt parking lot next to a motocross track. Our training center is ideally suited for teaching beginners (Level 1) and novices thru intermediates (Level 2) all the fundamental skills they need and it also features a wide variety of challenging terrain to satisfy more demanding advanced (Level 3) riders.

Our large rider training center has features that begin with great soil, a mixture of sand and earth, which provides a consistent and confidence inspiring feel, especially when moist. The surface is smooth with minimal rocks and rain ruts. We have a large and unobstructed flat area for beginners to safely get started and teach the basics on and a motocross track where the more advanced riders can practice their jumping and cornering skills. The large flat area is excellent for teaching turning and braking and also good for advanced exercises like wheelies and slides.

MotoVentures Anza Rider Training Center features include rolling terrain and gradually increasing challenges as you leave the large open area. From there we have developed a network of roads and single-track trails throughout the site for endless challenges and fun loop rides where you can shift through all the gears. There are many hills to climb (and descend too) and a long and challenging sand wash to hone your sand riding skills on. There are many easy single track trails (rare) for new riders to enjoy and numerous technical single track trails for the more demanding riders.  Level 3 riders and trials riders will enjoy the challenging terrain where we utilize the large rock outcroppings and more rugged trails for practicing advanced skills. Our site even features many great trials riding areas with plenty of perfect natural obstacles for teaching new trials riders, and enough tough sections to satisfy the most demanding trials riders.

In the center of MotoVentures Anza Rider Training Center is our private “pit area,” which is where the day begins by dressing into all the riding gear and where we hold our rider’s meetings. We’ll take our breaks and enjoy lunch/refreshments. Our pits feature a hospitality trailer, rest rooms, changing areas, parking and camping areas, comfortable seating and water, shelter, shade, heat, or cooling… as needed. Our pits have easy access from Hwy 371 by cars and street bikes and can easily accommodate groups and spectators. Most of the beginner riding areas can be viewed from our pits.
