PLEASE READ THIS – Is This the Right Course for You?
If you book on this course and you are not at the prerequisite ability level I may be limited in helping you to progress with the session content.
If you haven’t had coaching recently and do not ride proper black trails regularly, 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.
- This is an intermediate course aimed at improving your technique on black graded trails.
- You must have had coaching on red graded (minimum) trails, including braking, cornering, rolling drops, & pumping/absorbing techniques.
- Or you need to be regularly riding a wide range of black graded bike park trails & hand built / natural style enduro trails.
- If I haven’t coached you before I will need to see some video footage (not gopro) of you riding and/or results from races.
- You need to be able to carry speed in corners, rolls & drops (i.e. gentle/steady braking) on trails with moderate gradient. If you’re not sure if you can do this you should attend the Basecamp Course first.
