This is why they cannot have nice things!

Did any of them make the grade?
Did any of them not realise the benefit of standing on the pegs?

Apparently, the White Helmets reckoned it was easier to teach novices how to do display riding than experienced riders, hence for most in the clip it was the first time they’d ridden a PTW.

In fairness, at least some (possibly all) of the bikes were on road tyres.
What I saw though reminded me of someone trying a bike for the first time - we'd call a halt though before anyone got hurt!

They did some dumb things and I think I might include the instructors in that. I cringed when I saw them riding through trees. Trees are not very forgiving, you might as well ride into a brick wall for all the difference it makes. Trees are killers if you hit them at any speed.

To be fair riding on the rough is not as easy as the pros make it look. I did some when I was younger and even trials riding is scary when you have to go up or down steep hills. Any sort of off road riding is really good though for developing bike control skills and balance.
