Getting Started - Beginners MTB Course
For those new to mountain biking, covering basic bike skills, bike anatomy, kit essentials. Get the basics right to enable a fun and safe time on the trails.

Finding Flow
Get dialled in to riding over roots and tackling natural style corners while maintaining flow and momentum.

We will look at appropriate line choices, body position, body and bike movement. We will also review and practice cornering on different types of terrain.

If you currently struggle with riding roots, or are looking to move from trail centre to more natural style trails, this workshop will be useful.

Intro to Natural Trails
Working on how to move on from waymarked trail centre terrain to more natural terrain, we will start out on easier flow trails with time to practice sections of trail.

As the session progresses we will look at line choices, effective braking and maintaining appropriate momentum to maintain control whilst rolling over obstacles to build confidence, flow and fun.

Dial Into Drops
We will look at techniques for getting air where appropriate and then how to neutralise drops to maximise wheel to ground contact and maintain momentum.

Where to use each approach will be discussed and there will be plenty of opportunities for practice.

Pumping and Jumping

Learn to maximise fun on rolling terrain, where we can pump the bike to maintain wheel contact with the ground and generate free speed. Then we will switch it up to get air time – how to initiate the jump, maintain air time and have a smooth landing.

Mastering Steeps
Reading the trail, effective braking, line choice, maintaining appropriate momentum over steep terrain and technical features to build confidence, flow and fun.
