TACTICAL TRAINING
The rugged mountainous jungles of Northern Thailand provide ample opportunities for two-wheel mobility training, making it an ideal destination for preparing tactical teams to handle different terrains they might encounter.
Our riders have created a unique course for US Special Operations that brings ideas and
concepts from our SOF background, safety rider courses, enduro riding experience, as well
as leading real-world techniques from the anti-poaching ranger field and enduro racing.
ABOUT OUR TRAINING
Our Tactical Training program was designed and created by our mobility trainer Hunter Cain, a US Army veteran with over 30 years of off-road riding experience.
Northern Thailand offers a diverse and challenging terrain that makes it an excellent location for honing off-road riding skills. The region presents various riding conditions, including wet red clay, sandy river crossings, rocky mountain climbs, steep jungle descents, and varying weather patterns. Moreover, during the wet season, many areas in Southeast Asia are only accessible by motorcycle, making enduro skills mission-critical for year-round access.
The skillset and knowledge required for riding in this region are highly specialized. By training in Northern Thailand, teams can gain valuable experience and readiness to navigate challenging terrains effectively, enhancing their capabilities in various operational scenarios.
