What will I need?

A good quality and well maintained mountain bike is essential for riding technical terrain safely. HT or Full suspension, XC, Trail, 'Enduro', it doesn't matter as long as it is safe to ride (if unsure give us a call or rent one from Flottsbro Bike Rental Centre)

A helmet to be wore at all time when on a bike and we also recommend keen pads and gloves. 

What will I do?

Bike setup check – We’ll make sure your bike and suspension are tweaked so they’re working as well as they possibly can for you.

Body position for smoother riding – Understanding the physics behind riding modern mountain bikes well. How correct balance, posture and movement can rapidly improve your riding helping you ride consistently over anything you encounter.

Control on steep descents – Staying in balance and maximising traction at very slow speeds, before mastering the techniques to speed up safely on steep trails.

Core bike handling skills – Manuals, floating through rough sections, and bunny hopping. Where, when and how to use them to your advantage on the trail.

Steps and Safe drop-off techniques – Total control in the trickiest of situations, at both high and low speed.

Cornering foundations – How to maintain traction, conserve your speed and hit the best lines in and out of turns.
