Our 2 day Core Skills mountain bike course will teach you the basic MTB bike skills to get out on the trails tackling technical terrain with confidence and control. Day 1 is the same course as our single day Core Skills Course where you will learn the fundamental skills needed to progress your mountain biking. Day 2 is the chance for you to apply these new techniques out on a guided trail ride with the same coach from day one. There will be a chance to session spots on the ride to re-enforce the techniques and the pace will be moderate to cover the planned distance of around 15-20 kilometres.
Day 1:
Bike Set Up
We will review the full set up of your bike including suspension front and rear if you have both.
Rear Wheel Lift
After the front comes the back wheel which needs to be lifted over trail features too.
Bike Movement
Allowing the bike to move underneath you is key to mastering core skills.
Braking
Braking in the right way is key as is braking in the right places on the trail
Body Position
The ready position is the key to riding an MTB and follows through on all our courses
Climbing
Applying simple techniques to climbing will give you more control.
Front Wheel Lift
Using body weight and position you will learn to lift your wheel over trail features.
Descending
Body and head position are key to descending as well as foot position which will be covered.
Day 2:
Setting off around 10am your guide and coach will take you out onto the awesome trails of the Peak District National Park to practice and use the techniques from day 1. The route is carefully planned to make sure you get the chance to practice all the techniques along the way and a chance to ask questions and session spots.
