DirtDaze Adventure Bike Rally passes available online for the new Adirondack event June 7­-11. DirtDaze packages will be offered online starting early March. Riders can choose from many unguided routes, and special guided rides throughout the Adirondacks and Vermont. Packages include access to more factory demos than at virtually any other adventure bike rally in the U.S., including demos from KTM, Honda, Yamaha and more. The event also offers an obstacle course, riding demonstrations, and riding contests.

DirtDaze is bringing World Champion freestyle motorcyclist Chris “Teach” McNeil to perform. Teach has been traveling the globe for more than ten years wowing crowds with his impressive display of gravity-defying stunts. He’s an avid adventure bike enthusiast and will put on a dirt riding demonstration that will blow you away. Teach is a World Champion stunt rider, and has won or been on the podium in virtually every competition he has entered in the past seven years.

DirtDAZE is bringing in Jimmy Lewis and his Off­Road Riding School from Nevada. Jimmy’s school is considered one of the best riding schools in the U.S., and DirtDaze will be offering special two and four hour classes. Jimmy’s full two ­day class is typically offered at $600, however DirtDaze’s two hour introductory classes will be offered at only $95! Jimmy’s classes are limited to only 15 people per class, so this is an excellent opportunity to learn from the best in the business in a very personal environment. “We’re really excited that we were able to land Jimmy Lewis in our first year,” said Christian Dutcher, the DirtDaze Director. “I think he’s the best in the business, and I suspect his classes will sell out quickly.” Jimmy Lewis and his wife, Heather, are the chief instructors of the Off­Road Riding School.

DirtDaze will offer a huge array of adventure bikes available for demo rides! Two big orange factory KTM trailers will be on site all week. Trailer one will have all their latest adventure bikes. Trailer number two will have enduro bikes, ready and waiting for you to saddle up. You’ll hit the road for a ride, where you’ll get to see why so many folks are making the jump to KTM. Honda is bringing the Africa Twin marking its first U.S. demo appearance! Lot’s of other street Hondas will also be available at the factory Honda tractor trailer. Yamaha will also be in attendance with plenty of Super Teneres on hand along with many street bikes at their factory Yamaha demo area.

DirtDaze is the new adventure bike arm of Americade, and though the DirtDaze venue is entirely separate, you enjoy all the advantages Americade offers. Namely, you can access Americade’s nearby huge demo area at Fort William Henry and the huge expo (with Twisted Throttle and much more), all week long! Limited to only those with a full day or full week DirtDAZE or Americade pass. Valid license needed, along with boots, helmet, gloves and eye protection.

Professional instructors will be onsite offering adventure bike classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced riders throughout the week. Space is limited for classes, so interested riders are encouraged to sign up before the event. Camping, meals and local beer are all offered onsite at the DirtDaze headquarters.
