Confidence & Fundamentals
£50.00 3 hours
Build confidence by developing the key skills that underpin a wide range of mountain bike riding, from descending, to drops and jumps.
- Weight shift and position: learn how to adapt your body position and contact points to negotiate trail features
- Spatial awareness: discover how to read the trail ahead of you and how your bike and body will move through it
- CorneringThis course will help you to get the most of my jumping & flow & technical descending coursse. The majority of the riders I coach on jumps or descending skills are limited by fundamental techniques, such as these:
- Weight shift and position: active body movement to negotiate trail features
- Pressure control: pumping & absorbing features.
- Cornering: the fundamentals of line choice, speed and body movement
- Braking and grip: learn the key skills to master descending
- Spatial awareness: discover how to read the topography or trail and how to efficiently move through it
- Bike setup: suspension, tyre pressure, bike fit
Come on this course and understand how to improve these things and unlock more complex skills. You will come away with exercises you can easily practice regularly without access to MTB trails.
Things to consider
This session is suitable for mountain bikers at all levels. You must be a confident rider on flat paths, bridleways and blue graded trails.
Although this course is carried out on low difficulty trails, I will ensure that exercises are challenging for your level of riding. And will improve specific weaknesses for you.
This course is suitable for adults and children over 11 years old. Parents or guardians of U16 need to stay within 30mins of the session, in case of accident or emergency.
What to bring to your coaching session
- A mountain bike in full working order

- Flat pedals/shoes are strongly recommended (rather than clipless pedals)
