Is This the Right Course for You? Course Prerequisites

If you haven’t had coaching recently, then my Basecamp MTB Course is the recommended route onto this course. Regardless of riding experience, 9/10 riders who haven’t had coaching before aren’t aware of some of the fundamental skills needed to progress on technical terrain. If you want to build confidence on the trails you are currently riding, then join the basecamp course not this course.

• This is an advanced course aimed at improving your speed & technique on steep black graded trails.
• You must have had coaching on red graded (minimum) trails, including braking, cornering, rolling drops, & pumping/absorbing techniques.
• You need to be regularly riding a wide range of black graded bike park trails & hard natural trails.
• You need to be able to carry speed in corners, rolls & drops (i.e. without heavy braking).

Regular coaching will help you to build on what you’ve learnt in the session. It also helps me to give you tailored support.
