Thursday 27th August SUMMER PARTY- Blue Advanced Skills Session 1.30pm - 4.30pm
Join us for our final session of the Summer Holidays — a special Advanced Riders Party Session exclusively for Blue Advanced and above riders. Expect an afternoon packed with music, fun competitions, prizes and plenty of riding!
This session is all about celebrating an amazing summer of riding with friends whilst testing your skills in a relaxed and fun environment.

Timed Sections and Mini Races
Prizes and Awards
Session Challenges Set by the Coaches
Riders will have the opportunity to put their skills to the test across a variety of fun competitions, including our popular long jump challenge, as well as technical skills contests and friendly head-to-head challenges.
The focus is on having fun, building confidence and enjoying the trails, while encouraging riders to challenge themselves in a safe and supportive environment.
This session is strictly for Blue ability riders who are able to cycle a minimum of 6 miles with a good level of fitness. Sessions will regularly involve longer off site trail rides, and it is important that your child is comfortable with this distance. Ensuring riders meet this requirement helps keep the group together and makes the ride far more enjoyable for everyone.
These sessions are designed for riders who have already secured strong basic bike skills and are ready to progress further. Coaching will focus on developing techniques such as:
Cornering on natural trails
Riding steeper terrain
Small drops and small jumps - (all rollable)
Maintaining control and confidence over longer trail distances
Coaches will work with riders to develop:
Controlled stopping using back brake, front brake, and combined braking
Strong, adaptable riding positions for low overhead obstacles, ground obstacles, and undulating terrain
Effective body movement on the bike to manage sharp bumps and trail features such as inclines, corners, and rapid changes in direction
Stability and control to neutralise bumps and trail undulations while riding at speed
Sessions will include trail riding off site as well as using Trail Academy’s private trails, pump track and jump line!
Price per session is £35.00
Location: Duke of Kent School, Peaslake Road, Ewhurst Surrey GU6 7NS
As you arrive at the school driveway, take the first right hand turning by the lodge house towards ‘sports fields’ and follow the road down to the gravel carpark on your right. Don’t drive up to the main school building.
What to bring on the day: A Mountain Bike, a mountain bike helmet – in full working order (not BMX) and gloves, appropriate clothing (long trousers) and footwear including waterproof jacket (please be aware that clothing and shoes can get muddy by the end of the session so a change of clothes may be handy). Snacks and a drink.
We will conduct a safety check on all bikes and advise on correct set up before every course.
Regardless of age, ability or skill level the Trail Academy is here to help. It is our aim to make all our classes as fun and progressive as possible.
We want everyone to learn at their own pace and have fun while doing it!
