If you want to handle black graded trails and technical mountain routes with confidence, style and flow – this is the course for you.
We look at all aspects of your riding as we tackle rocky descents, bunny hops, pumping for speed and control, advanced line choice, riding step ups and clearing extreme climbs.
This 1 day course teaches you the right skills in the right way, so you can eliminate the trial and error approach that most take when learning how to mountain bike.
