Founder & Lead Trainer of Skool of Moto, Donni Reddington, Heading Up Women’s Training Courses at Moto ADV Rally

With her extensive experience and passion for empowering female riders, Donni is set to deliver an exceptional learning experience.

DONNI REDDINGTON,

Meet Donni with Skool of Moto. Donni is a USMCA certified coach and teaches professionally after working as a Registered Nurse for 20 years. Her passion is to help empower, teach and inspire people to be safer and better riders. Donni has been riding street, dual-sport, and dirt bikes for over 35 years. Of all the riding she has experienced, dirt has become her passion. Over the years of riding and teaching her friends, she realized a lack of formal training focused on female riders. With the sport growing quickly, she saw this as a problem and came up with a solution to start her own business in 2018, Skool of Moto. Skool initially focused on female riders but has expanded to teaching men as well. Donni’s classes are dedicated to helping those wanting to learn how to ride or improve current off-road riding skills, focusing on the fundamentals. At Skool, students will slow down and focus on balance, clutch and throttle control. Drills are taught in a progression and each will build off of each other. The end result is gaining confidence on the bike and understanding balance. Most riders don’t like riding slow because it’s too challenging but there’s many times the term “when in doubt, throttle out” will fail. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. If you are looking to improve your current skills or learn how to ride off-road, Donni is here to help you!

Kris Fant

Kris has been riding off road motorcycles for 12 years. She had been riding for three years before finding her first ADV 101 class, and has been hooked on training ever since. Kris loves supporting riders in her community, and enjoys offering mentorship and skills days to new riders. She has been lucky enough to assist multiple trainers over the years, including Donni Reddington, Shal Wilson, and Pat Jacques. Her day job is mental health counseling, and her true passion is blending her counseling skills with off-road training to help people learn to befriend fear and grow confidence in every area of life. Kris is a BDR ambassador, completing CABDR, WABDR, COBDR, ORBDR and parts of UTBDR, writes for Women ADV Rider and is on the REV’IT Women’s Team.

About Andre of MotoVentures

Andre LaPlante and MotoVentures have been integral to educating motorcycle riders in off-road riding techniques for the past 25 years, based in Southern California, a hub of the off-road riding community. Established in 1998 by Gary LaPlante and his son Andre, MotoVentures initially offered dirt bike tours through the Southwest United States. However, during these tours, they recognized a pressing need for off-road motorcycle rider training, leading MotoVentures to expand its mission to include teaching the skills necessary to conquer off-road riding and racing. This marked the inception of MotoVentures Motorcycle Rider Training.

Drawing from over 50 years of combined experience in off-road riding, racing, touring, and rider training, Gary and Andre authored the influential book “How to Ride Off-Road Motorcycles: Key Skills and Advanced Training for All Off-Road, Motocross, and Dual-Sport Riders,” published in 2012 and boasting over 20,000 copies sold globally. Concurrently, MotoVentures trademarked its riding curriculum as “Dirt First,” which emphasizes learning off-road riding as the safest and most effective method to develop motorcycle riding competence and confidence. In 2019, MotoVentures was honored with the Friend of the AMA award for its exceptional contributions to motorcycle rider training, having instructed tens of thousands of riders over the years at its private 350+ acre facility in Anza, CA, where weekly training seminars are conducted.

Recognizing the expanding market of Dual Sport and Adventure Riding, MotoVentures tailored comprehensive off-road rider training specifically for big bike riders, aligning with its Dirt First philosophy. In 2021, Andre participated in the BMW International GS Trophy Qualifier West, finishing an impressive 3rd place and sparking a passion for Adventure riding and pushing the boundaries of off-road capabilities with 500+ pound motorcycles. This journey underscores MotoVentures’ commitment to advancing rider skills and exploring new frontiers in motorcycle riding education.

Rene Perez MotoVentures Coach

It all began before the term “adventure motorcycling” was even coined. My journey started with the legendary KLR 650 in the early 2000s. The rugged simplicity and reliability of the KLR were my gateway to a world of limitless horizons and untamed landscapes. However, it was in 2001 when I stumbled upon an advertisement for the BMW F650GS Dakar. Its sleek design and robust build captivated my imagination—I knew it had to be mine.

The moment I first rode the Dakar, it was as if the world expanded in front of me. Each turn of the throttle, each mile conquered, brought with it a sense of freedom and adventure that words can hardly capture. The Dakar, with its steadfast roar, became a symbol of endless joy and exploration.

In 2012, I decided to upgrade my steed to the BMW F800 GS. This machine offered a perfect balance of power and agility, enhancing my ability to tackle diverse terrains. Whether traversing the rocky paths of Baja or the lush trails of Colombia, the F800 GS proved to be a reliable companion.

By 2018, I transitioned to the BMW R1200 GSA, a pinnacle of engineering excellence. This bike became my passport to adventures that spanned coast to coast—from the Pacific’s rugged coastline to the serene shores of the Atlantic. The R1200 GSA’s versatility and endurance allowed me to explore the vast expanse from Washington’s northern border to California’s southern reaches.

My adventures didn’t stop there. Baja and mainland Mexico offered landscapes as varied as they were beautiful, while Colombia’s rich culture and challenging routes added a new dimension to my riding experience. Each journey was a chapter filled with discovery, pushing the boundaries of my skills and endurance.

A highlight of my motorcycling career was being a semifinalist at the BMW GS Trophy in 2023. Competing with some of the best riders in the world was both an honor and a testament to the skills I had honed over the years.

Throughout this incredible journey, I’ve had the privilege of riding alongside remarkable individuals. Collaborating with “hall of fame” riders and BMW-certified coaches has been an enriching experience. Their expertise and camaraderie have not only improved my riding techniques but also deepened my appreciation for the adventure motorcycling community.

Each ride, each adventure, is a story etched into the landscape. And as long as there’s a road ahead, I’ll continue to chase the horizon, fueled by the thrill of discovery and the spirit of adventure.
