Cross training ADV
with the Awesome Players!

OFF-ROAD MOTORCYCLE SKILLS WEEK

June 8th to 14th, 2025

 

Riley from The Awesome Players MC is coming to visit the Traction eRag HQ in the high-desert of British Columbia! 

Riley had such a good time at the last XTADV that he wanted to invite you to share the experience!

 

  • Suffering butt-pucker when transitioning to gravel?

  • Can’t make friends with a big unwieldy bike?

  • See a great trail, but lack the confidence to commit?

  • Getting in over your head in the back of beyond? 

This is the world’s first hybrid enduro to ADV cross-training camp. Improve your ADV/DualSport skills and safety by learning the basic techniques on our lightweight 250cc machines.

This fun, five-day event is designed specifically for Dual Sport and ADV riders who are transitioning from street riding to exploring the dirt. This unique approach of small-bike training to learn big-bike skills, will fast track your abilities and confidence both on and off the road. 

This adventure has thick Canadian forest, pristine lakes, staggering vistas and incredible camaraderie. Ride ribbony trails through majestic Douglas Fir forests while encountering jaw dropping vistas all connected by an unrivalled network of transit roads.

The perfect combination of training, riding and exploration, incredible scenery, great food and good friends. Cross Training ADV is a great investment in your safety and enjoyment of motorcycling for years to come.

What You Need To Know

Our events sell out quickly. You may need time to discuss your participation with work, family, spouse or parole officer but regardless, we will need a deposit to hold your spot.

Our events have limited participants. You won’t get lost in a large group.

We do not share many details ahead of the event. Although it may be uncomfortable not knowing every detail, we believe that certainty destroys adventure. We will share enough detail so you can be adequately prepared for what you will encounter during the week.

Location

The Traction eRag World Headquarters, nestled in the tree-covered hill tops 20 minutes away from the desert landscape of Kamloops, British Columbia.

There is a Place for You.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to be considered for this trip, you MUST apply. If you have applied in the past, please contact us by email and we will get you on the booking sheet. Everything is booked first come, first serve – to avoid disappointment reach out ASAP.
