WHAT TO EXPECT:
DAY 1 will focus on the core fundamental skills that every mountain biker needs to progress their riding and reach their goals. These foundational skills are the most important to learn and dial in and are highly recommended for all levels of riders. Newcomers will be able build their toolkit of skills correctly right from the start, instilling confidence and progressive techniques. More advanced riders can re-examine their current skill set and check back in with the latest bike-handling techniques and skills to take their riding to the next level. In addition, we will go through proper bike-setup and ride preparation to keep you dialed on your bike. Every rider will walk away with a deeper understanding of their riding and the confidence to take on the trails and races with more confidence, knowledge, and excitement. This session will be implemented on an open grass field with cone work and man-made wooden obstacles which we bring along.
After the skills session we will have a bike education session on bike setup, the essential tools you need to keep your bike dialed in and to handle trail-side repairs with more confidence. MTB Gear and tools will be for sale on the day with our online store Trail Tech Cycles.
We will finish the day off with Lunch & Laughs at the Rosemary Hill Coffee Shop. *Please note lunch is at your own cost.
DAY 2 we take it to the trails and give riders the opportunity to discover their true riding potential by putting their skills to practice. This will be a fun and challenging session, allowing riders the opportunity to ride features they never thought possible. We will work on line choice and how to choose the best line. How to handle your bike up and over obstacles. How to safely handle technical sections. Reading the trail and how to gain maximum traction and control. Mindset and much more. The goal of this session is to stop at features and session them (practicing the same feature a few times to really dial it in) The key to progression is session. This also encourages riders to support each other and cheer each other on, instilling confidence and building community. The ride will be around 10-15km with the focus on stopping at features and practicing them.
