Build Confidence. Ride in Control. Actually Enjoy the Trail.
If you’re new to dirt biking - or feel like you’re just surviving instead of riding confidently - this private coaching session will help you fix that fast.
This is NOT a motocross class. There's no racing, jumps, or high-speed riding.
This is structured, beginner-focused coaching designed to help you feel comfortable, in control, and confident on your bike.

What You’ll Learn
In your 2-hour private session, we’ll work on:
- Proper body position (so you stop fighting the bike)
- Throttle control (no more whiskey throttle moments)
- Braking correctly and safely
- Balance and slow-speed control
- Turning and cornering fundamentals
- Riding beginner trails with confidence
Everything is taught step-by-step in a controlled, low-pressure environment.
How the Session Works
Each session is structured to keep things safe, simple, and effective:
- Quick assessment + safety briefing
- Basic drills (flat, controlled area)
- Skill progression at your pace
- Guided beginner trail riding
- Real-time coaching + feedback
No pressure. No ego. Just solid progress.
Why Private Coaching Works (Faster Than Learning On Your Own)
Most riders try to learn dirt biking by just riding more…
But that usually leads to:
• Reinforcing bad habits
• Feeling out of control
• Getting tired quickly
• Losing confidence after crashes
Private coaching fixes that.
Instead of guessing, you get:
✔ Immediate Feedback
You’ll know exactly what you’re doing wrong — and how to fix it right away.
✔ Step-by-Step Progression
No skipping ahead or feeling overwhelmed. You’ll build skills in the right order.
✔ Safer Learning Environment
Controlled drills and guided riding reduce risk and build confidence faster.
✔ Faster Results
What might take months (or years) to figure out on your own can often be fixed in a single session.
If you want to feel more confident, more in control, and actually enjoy riding…
Private coaching is the fastest way to get there.

Meet Your Coach

Hey, I'm Kelley Fager, I’ve spent 25+ years riding off-road and the last 5+ years helping newer riders build real confidence on the trail through videos, online coaching, and at beginner trail rides.
What I’ve noticed is this - most beginners struggle not because they lack effort, but because no one ever shows them the fundamentals the right way.
Things like body position, throttle control, and balance make a massive difference… but they’re rarely explained in a simple, beginner-friendly way.
That’s exactly what I focus on.
My coaching is built around:
- Simple, easy-to-understand instruction
- Safe, controlled progression
- Fixing the small mistakes that cause big problems
There’s no pressure, no ego, and no “just go faster” advice. I focus on "reducing risk" while increasing confidence and "FUN" on a dirt bike.
Just clear coaching that helps you feel more in control of your bike and actually enjoy riding.

Confidence Guarantee
If you show up, follow the coaching, and apply what you’re taught…
You will leave this session feeling more confident and in control on your bike.
If you don’t feel any improvement by the end of the session, I’ll stay with you longer (at no extra cost) until you do.
My goal is simple: help you ride better - not rush you through a session.

Hello Kelley, I'd like to know if I could pick your brain about carb tuning? I've seen your videos and they have answered alot of questions, however I have a couple I'd like to ask that were not answered in the videos

Hey Chad, thanks for watching my videos! It also looks like you grabbed my free air screw tuning guide - did you get a chance to test that out yet?
What question do you have that hasn't been answered yet?

@Kelley Fager, I'm in Willmar MN. I would like to know if you might do a 1 on 1, one day instruction to start me on some good technique. I use to ride 35 years about and have now purchased a FE501W, but must get some instruction. I was never a very proficient rider back in the day. Just a day of slow speed drills would be great. Then I could take those home and work on them. Let me know. I could meet you at the Stomping Grounds.

Interested in a class for my wife. Any chance this fall? October/ November? (Honda CRF230) she's an experienced street rider but needs more off road technique for higher speed not crashing and lower speed energy saving.
