Junior Flow & Descending Skills Course Greno – Level 2

Has your child been ticked off for Level 2 courses?

Most riders need to do Level 1 Session A & B first and sometimes several times. Please do not book on this course unless I have said this is the correct course to book on. 

Designed for 11-16 year olds, this course teaches the fundamental techniques to built & natural trails.

Flow Trail Skills

• • Pumping: Learn how to pump to gain more speed on trails and master your jumping technique
  • Soaking and squashing: Learn how to manage speed and grip
  • Jumping: Build on the core movement skills of jumping, managing momentum to clear jumps
  • Berms: Develop cornering skills to carry more speed through berms

Descending Skills

• • Weight shift, movement & stance: Learn the fundamentals of body movement for riding on steep gradient
  • Cornering: progress cornering technique for low grip & steeper gradient
  • Drops & rolls: learn the fundamentals of negotiating drops
  • Speed control & Line choice: use line choice and braking to improve control when descending

These are just the basics, and coaching will progress onto more advanced skills for flow trails as appropriate.

Things to consider

• All riders attending this course need to have attended a Level 1 course. Riders who’ve had coaching on red graded trails before, and have significant (i.e. >100hrs)  riding experience on these trails, may be able to join this course. Please contact me to check
• The minimum ability required to join this course is to be able to:  pump/absorb trail features (standing up on level-pedals bending arms and legs), effectively use of both brakes and understandthe basics of cornering.
