Reviews from our previous Off-Road Performance Schools:

"I attended the first MAX BMW Off-Road Performance School at Hunter Mountain back in July 2011, and it was a blast! The instructors were terrific, Max's crew was great, and all the riders had a lot of fun together. My R1200GS offroading proficiency and confidence grew more in those two days than in months of riding solo. I'd been interested in BMW's Off-Road school for quite a while, but wasn't going to make it to the usual schools in Germany or South Carolina. The price and New England location were perfect for me. I'd highly recommend it to anyone considering it; don't pass it up!" - Nick
