- Novice: Experience on the street or some limited experience off-road. You must be capable with the clutch and familiar with all motorcycle controls.
- Novice plus: Seasoned street bike riders with years of experience, and some off road time. Beginners returning for their second ride would be considered Novice plus. Dirtbikers who have not ridden for many years and are returning to the sport.
- Intermediate: Intermediate riders have some dirt bike experience. Returning customers who have been with us more than once are usually considered intermediate, as well as Motocross riders interested in getting into trail riding. Intermediate and above riders may join us on a variety of trail rides outside of the Ganaraska.
- Intermediate plus: Riders with lots of trail riding experience, who are interested in learning more advanced skills or just adventuring on more technical trails.
