Junior Jumping & Flow Course

£45.00 3 hours

Designed for 11-16 year olds, this course teaches the fundamental techniques to ride manmade flow trails with jumps and berms.

Fundamental 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

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 the beginners course. With the exception of riders who’ve had coaching on red graded trails before, and have significant (i.e. >100hrs)  riding experience on these trails.
  • Riders need to have a mountain bike or dirt jump bike (with two brakes). BMX, hybrid or cyclocross bikes are not suitable.
  • The trails we will be riding are red graded trails, with the main features being jumps & berms.
  • For 11-18 year olds.

What to bring to your coaching session

  • A mountain bike in full working order
  • Helmet, gloves & knee pads
  • Other protective clothing or equipment that you would normally use for a MTB ride.
  • Flat pedals/shoes are required
  • A completed rider information and consent form. Follow the link at checkout
