Idaho Rivian Club

Hello Idaho Rivian Club!

We’ve got a great opportunity for a Rivian-specific off-road training course - but I need to get a strong sense of who would be interested before officially booking the instructor. Here is the proposed date, time, location, and costs:

• Cost: $100 for dues-paying IDRC members, $125 for non-members
• Date: Saturday, July 27, 2024
• Time: 9:00am-5:00pm
• Location: Hemmingway Butte OHV Park, Upper Reynolds Creek Rd, Melba, ID 83641
• Instructor: Kevin Burden from Beard Man Offroad
  • Kevin is a certified offroad trainer with the I4WDTA (International 4 Wheel Driver Trainers Association). Has spent the last 20+ years offroad and exploring the country side. Previous Board Member for Colorado 4×4 Rescue and recovery. Loves the outdoors whether in a vehicle, hiking or motorcycle. What is a I4WDTA trainer and what does it take to become one? Good writeup here. Follow link – The International 4WD Trainers Association: Inside the Testing for Certification : American Adventurist
• Limit: Limited to 10 Rivians
• Course content (NOT exhaustive!):
  • Off-road driving basics theory
  • Rivian Drive modes & ride height selection
  • Off-road driving practice on various obstacles, surfaces, and situations
  • Spotting
  • Recovery techniques
  • Recovery gear considerations
  • Tire considerations
  • etc.

***Please respond ASAP*** if this course cost/date/time would be of interest to you! Each vehicle can have multiple passengers (and I would guess up to 2 drivers alternating with attempts), but we can only accommodate a max of 10 vehicles. If we can fill up this course, I will confirm with Kevin and book the date.


Stay Adventurous!
