Off road skills can be useful even if you are not interested in becoming a dirt rider, because sometimes you find dirt in unexpected places. And as an additional bonus: it's a recognized fact that dirt skills improve your street riding. So, speaking of dirt, ponder this:
consider this fact: more than 95% of the world's roads are unpaved. And just to prove the point here are a few statistics from some of the great places in the world to visit.
The U S has more than a third of its infrastructure unpaved. We have about 4.5 million miles of roadways in the U.S. and nearly 1.3 million miles of dirt roads and trails. Who says there’s no place to ride?
