There is nothing worse than hitting a jump or drop while being rigid on the bike and out of knowledge. Our jumps and drops mountain bike course aims to allow you to progressively learn the MTB skills needed to negotiate the many airtime features found on modern bike trails, through detailed skills sessions, while keeping you in control.

" Our Jumps and Drops course is designed with the red route rider in mind, who is searching for the floating feeling when both wheels are off the ground but would like to replace the associated fear with key learning points, allowing for safe progression. "
