1.30pm - 4.30pm

BLUE ADVANCED & RED ABILITY RIDERS

This session will be focused on skills training, developing existing skills, learning how to ride berms with more speed and tackling steep descents with more confidence!

The group learns how to maintain suitable riding positions for large obstacles on the ground and varied undulating terrain and how to move the body on the bike to deal with sharp bumps and a range of trail features such as steep inclines, corners and sudden changes in directions.

*THIS SESSION WILL INCLUDE LARGE JUMPS AND DROPS* however everything we ride will be avoidable so you don't have to ride them, some riders prefer to watch.

Coaches use this session to focus on more technical riding along with jumping and use the legs to find grip, balance and speed, ensuring that the rider remains stable and neutralises bumps and undulations on the trail.

We will utilise our range of MTB Hopper ramps and our jump line to take the riders through the process of learning how to jump. Riders will ride our hand built trails to include features such as, tight switchbacks, berms, off camber roots, flat corners, drops and jumps.

The groups can discover how movement in corners can allow the rider to find more grip and how to read the trail ahead whilst maintaining flow.

Riders can discover how to turn with the hips and keep their upper body neutral, using dynamic movement in corners to allow more grip to be found.

Price per session is £35.00

As you enter the school drive please turn right towards the ‘sports’ area and follow the road down to the right where you will see our flags and carpark.
