I find that the time on dirt bikes taught me quite a bit. They are harder to ride than a street bike as they will toss you off in a second. They stand higher, and of course you have to constantly be scanning the upcoming terrain for obstacles. Not to mention learning how to fall/crash...because you WILL fall/crash.

People that talk to me about getting a motrcycle I always ask if they've ridden dirt bikes. Will be a prerequisite for my kid.

Ditto! In my family, dirt riding is the required requisite to street riding.
