Is this course right for you?
This course is for very experienced intermediate to advanced riders who’ve had coaching with me before. Typically 3-4 years experience of riding red or black graded MTB trails. Please contact me if you are not sure.
- You must have attended the Jumping & Flow course or similar level course with another coach.
- The trails we will be riding will be natural trails steeper than most red graded trails, including rocky & technical features.
- You must be confident riding red graded trails and have experience of riding black graded trails and rough natural trails.
- Your bike needs to be set up for riding this sort of terrain, this means brakes with good stopping power, tyres with deep tread & working suspension. Good quality hardtails are fine.
- For 11-18 year olds.
