Who it is for

Beginners and experienced riders train side by side. We group by level and agree a goal with each rider on day one.

Rally trainingsA long trip on a big bike
Handling a loaded bike, camping, repairs and self-rescue, sorted before you leave home.

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.
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
