Motocross San Diego
Motocross and Dirt Bike racing has a long history in San Diego and the surrounding North and East counties. After decades of hosting some of the worlds biggest races at Carlsbad Raceway and producing some of the world’s top riders in the hills around El Cajon the landscape for riders in sunny San Diego has changed. With the tracks in Carlsbad in El Cajon closed we are left with a lot less choices to ride. Fortunately for us there are still some gem’s out here.
Barona Oaks Raceway
Barona Raceway is San Diego’s premier Motocross track . A fun layout that is a little tighter than most of the MX tracks in SoCal makes for some great laps around the trees in the Barona Valley. Dayton and his crew have both the main and the kids track fully prepped every weekend. For more info on the track check out: www.barona-mx.com
Off Road and Enduro riding
East county San Diego has some amazing trail riding to offer. McCain Valley OHV just off the Interstate 8 near Boulevard has a great selection of trails and hill climbs available. This is a great spot for beginners, intermediates and pros with the amount of different loops to choose from. After a day of rain there are some great sand turn tracks available for our Motocross friends as well.
Corral Canyon OHV Area
Really fun scenic area to ride a dirt bike in. It is quite rocky and on weekends you will run into a lot of ATV’s and SXS there, so you need be careful and keep your eyes open. Nonetheless it’s a great area to get out on two wheels just 40 minutes east of downtown San Diego.

Adventure Bike School California
Adventure motorcycles are a great way to go and explore the world off the beaten path. From exploring the back country roads of your State, taking on a BDR or riding your bike across continents, the opportunities are endless. Every good adventure needs a certain amount of preparation and taking your Adventure bike out is no difference. A lot of riders that take the Sedlak Offroad School ADV courses have limited off road experience and come form a street riding background. Learning the fundamentals of off road riding is crucial especially when you are riding a 550 lbs bike. Being able to control the bike safely and use the weight of the machine to your advantage instead of “wrestling” it through sandy section and rocky roads will not only give you more confidence it will also safe of you a lot of energy enabling you to ride further.
Our half day ADV course is a great starting point to improve your riding instantly. We break our sessions down into three important fundamental techniques:
Body Position. We teach you how to properly position your feet on the foot pegs for maximum leverage and control. Controlling the your motorcycle from the first point of contact (foot peg) will be a game changer for every rider. Furthermore we will work on bringing you upper body forward on the bike and working efficiently with your arms.
Clutch, Brake and Throttle control. Riding off road can be intimidating at first because of the lack of traction and grip. We teach you how to properly apply your clutch and throttle to gain traction and control. Once you are picking up speed you need to be able to stop. We created several braking drills that will help you feel in total control of your ADV bike at all times.
Controlling your bike standing up. Riding standing up sounds pretty simple and it is as long is you are comfortable on solid surface. Naturally you loose a little confidence when you are approaching a new section. Most riders compromise their position on the motorcycle approaching challenging section which puts them in a bad spot before they even get into tricky terrain. Our stand up drills will provide you the tools needed to master tricky sand washes and rocky river crossings.
