Hard Core 4+
Updated, Updated, Updated! -----(Post #18 has class details from Bill himself.)
This year's Trail Leader Training will be March 18-19, 2017 in Grand Junction. We'll need to head over the hill sometime on Friday the 17th. Class is limited/capped at 40 people...
Why?:
Since the inception of Cruise Moab, Rising Sun has taken “trail leading” very seriously. It’s my understanding that, back in the day, the Cruise Moab Committee would personally invite specific RS Members to lead trails. Not everyone was given the opportunity because the CM Founders knew that this position would either make or break the event. It’s because of them that we will be celebrating our 20th anniversary this coming year!
Over the years, “pre-runs” became the norm for the CM Trail Leader Training. Intimate familiarity with a specific trail is vitally important but it is NOT training. Changing the culture back to what it once was requires a standard. Therefore, we have commissioned Bill Burke.
What to expect?:
This is not a "Learn to drive" class nor is it a requirement to lead trails for Cruise Moab. It will be two full days of hands on training, driving, and scenarios. Registrants will receive training on all of Toyota’s 4wd systems from FJ40’s to present day. This will include instruction on “how to use them”, “when to use them”, and how to lead a new driver safely down a trail despite the location or time of year. Bill is a Subject Matter Expert and has spent the last 30 years training people how to offroad. He offers multiple training sessions throughout the year specifically tailored to suit the needs of the student, club, or organization. Depending on the need, fees for these classes are as follows:
The training that we will receive falls in between 2 & 3. Ideally, we would like all past, present, and future Trail Leaders to attend so that we’re all on the same page. It’s my belief that this is a sustainable training program that can be duplicated from time to time.
Cost?:
Drivers: All (10) driver spots are filled, please register as a passenger.
Passengers: $75.00
*Any participant that leads a trail for the 2017 Cruise Moab Event will have their tuition reimbursed on 5/6/17.
