I’ve found if you want to be better at something it helps to train and refresh/remind yourself of the basics on a regular basis. Every couple of years I try to take the Advanced Rider class at our local community college. It’s well worth the $50, was a good “street” compliment to the recent off-road class I took at Horizons Unlimited Virginia, and with a class of 4 (3 guys failed to show) you get lots of attention.
Dale and Sylvia gave us our money’s worth with slow speed maneuvers, braking, and avoidance drills. And always a interesting variety of bikes.
A list of the skills is here. And here is their practice guide for off-road riding: MSF OHM Guide. If you think this is a waste of time, you probably need to sign up.
