Clinton Smout- founder & trainer

Clinton Smout has been riding for as long as he can remember and holds multiple training certifications. A former Chief Instructor for motorcycle licensing at Humber College, his passion lies in off-road adventure and family-friendly outdoor fun.

Seeing the lack of off-road training, he launched CMTS, later expanding into SMART Adventures. Inspired by the 2005 series Long Way Round, he also introduced BMW GS Rider Training to his programs.

Over the past 25+ years, Clinton and his team have trained more than 130,000 students—over 70% of them first-time riders. Today, his expertise is recognized across North America and beyond.

Real Stories. Real People.

Had such an amazing experience with our friends today. It was our first time riding ATVs, and the whole team was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Big shoutout to Dave and TJ—our instructor was super nice, fun and professional.
