Farmer John’s Bikepark

Designed for 7-11 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.
