Learning to ride steep and technical terrain requires a different set of riding skills to ride confidently and in control compared to the bike park or trail riding many riders do day in day out. Body position, braking, line choice are just some of the aspects we cover of the course to make you a more rounded rider.  Some skills are immediately transferable from the trail others will need to be adapted or learnt from scratch

​

Skills covered on the course include:

Bike Set Up

We will review the full set up of your bike including suspension front and rear if you have both.

Grip Points

These areareas of the trail where you can perform an action and its key to be able to spot these.

Cornering

Berms and flat corners will be looked at individually with different techniques used

Braking

Braking in the right way is key as is braking in the right places on the trail

Wheel Placing

Placing the front wheel in the correct spot on the trail is crucial on steep terrain.

Rear Steer

 Using the rear wheel to steer the bike on tight and technical terrain helps with corners.

Line Choice

Dont be a sheep and follow the same line! We will explore line choice, the why and when.

Descending

Learn how to descend steeper terrain with flow and control and an increased confidence

After my core skills course I felt more in control of the bike rther than the bike in control of my riding. In the weeks after the course I have loved the way my riding has changed for the better.
