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.
