What riders say

My rally journey started with a ride from Denmark to Suki in 2024. I arrived at the UNTAMED Bootcamp on my heavily loaded Honda Africa Twin. I had ridden all the way from Denmark carrying my camping gear, tools, spare parts, and even an extra set of rally tyres because after the Bootcamp I was continuing directly to Rally Albania. The truth is… I knew almost nothing about rally raid. Later, Perica told me that the organizers had looked at me and joked that they would probably have to rescue me from the mountains several times with the trailers. They never had to. I completed the Bootcamp, continued to Albania, and finished my first international rally. Since then I have completed: * Rally Albania 2024, 2025 and 2026 * Dinaric Rally 2024 and 2025 Today, the story is very different. Last year I came to Dinaric Rally with Team RallyTech. This year our team has grown to around 12 riders, many of them competing in their very first rally. Helping new riders prepare for their first rally has become one of the most rewarding parts of my own journey. Back home in Denmark I organize roadbook training workshops, teach rally navigation, and work as a guide on adventure motorcycle tours. My goal is to make rally raid less intimidating and show riders that you don’t have to be a professional to get started. I still ride a Honda XL750 Transalp—a big adventure bike. Not because it is the fastest choice, but because I enjoy challenging myself. I’m not chasing podiums. My goal for Dinaric Rally 2026 is simple: To complete every stage once again. My long-term dream is Africa Eco Race 2027, but I also hope to inspire more riders to discover the incredible rally community that completely changed my own life. I started as the guy everyone thought would need rescuing. Now I return helping others reach the finish line. My best recommendation!

Review from a Big Bike participant Even with a limited number of off road hours under my belt on a Big Bike (motorbike with more that 700cc), the Dinaric Rally Bootcamp increased my driving skills and put further confidence in my all round off road abilities (including quite bad stony paths both uphill and downhill). Very skillful instructor where your learning experience mostly rest on how fare you want to take it. You get to drive roadbooks and make mistakes with a security team standing by to aid and guide. Navigation is not just about getting it right the first time, it’s also about making calm decisions when things go south. What I learned here in a week, would have taken months on any TET road drive. Highly recommend this for anybody desiring a more effortless riding experience.

As a repeat offender I had high expectations, that were all exceeded. More roadmap navigation learned, more kms riden, more mud, dust, rock (NBX CX!), crashes, water crossings, field crossings, border crossings, dogs, and fun. So much fun. Perica is a great guy and guide into the exciting world of moto rally.

One of my best, if not my best experience in a long time! The roadbook training by and with Perica and his team is definitely worth every penny. For beginners as well as for advanced riders, there is something for everyone. I myself was a total beginner in reading a roadbook and now after the training I am super prepared for the Dinaric Rally in summer. The atmosphere on site, the people, the pure madness. I can only recommend the training to everyone! Don’t think, just book! Thanks again to Perica and his team for the great time!

I simply loved the Untamed Roadbook Bootcamp! It was a super cool experience, I learned a ton and met a bunch of cool people. Perica and his team are all in, they really care about the people joining the event and help out with anything and everything. The team‘s experience in organizing rallies, offroad riding, navigation, bike repairs, etc. are incredible. I loved every minute of it! THANK YOU ALL!

I did the rally bootcamp in May 2023. I learned so much and had such a great time meeting and sharing the experience with the other riders. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to learn or improve their roadbook navigation and general rally riding skills.

I took part in the July Boot Camp and what should I said. As it was my first time ever on a Rallye bike, I struggled a lot on the first day, but on the last day I even managed to lead to group for some time. Way to go guys! Always again!

Instructor to be announced

Joining in 2027

Instructor No. 2

We are still choosing, and we are picky about it: rally raid kilometres in the legs, the patience to explain a CAP heading for the fifth time, and enough humour to laugh about it at the bivouac.

When we find them, their face goes here.

Where

Lika, the Dalmatian Hinterland and a bivouac at Šuki

We train far from towns and traffic, around a base near Knin.

Terrain

Gravel roads, rocky climbs, forest tracks and open karst plateaus. Custom trainings can move to other regions.

Bivouac and rooms

Camping at the bivouac is free for participants, with showers, toilets and power. Hotel-Restaurant Šuki has a few rooms; more are 15 minutes away by car.

Bivouac on Google Maps

Food

Not included in the fee: breakfast and dinner together at the restaurant of Šuki: traditional cooking, vegetarian options available. Lunch stops on the trail.

Before you come

Bike, gear and tools

Your bike

Bring your own, whatever it is. Hard enduro and big adventure bikes often train side by side.

No suitable bike? A few rental motorcycles are available. Mention it when you book.

Protective gear

Required on the terrain at all times:

  • MX or enduro boots
  • Full-face helmet and goggles
  • Gloves with protectors
  • Body armour

Tools

We provide tools for the maintenance sessions. Bring special tools your bike needs, especially for rare or very new models.

Riders

After the training

Folks, it was an honour! Thanks for the awesome experience, all together super great people. We can’t believe we won’t get a roadbook tomorrow.
