UPCOMING SESSIONS
What We Cover
Our advanced progression sessions are conducted mostly out on the trails and is aimed at getting riders more confident on more technical single track, enduro and downhill trails.
The focus of these sessions is mastering steeper, faster and more technical trails with difficult jumps, drops and technical downhill lines and obstacles to negotiate. We practice riding black diamond single-track trails and how to apply the fundamental principles to difficult obstacles and lines ranging to extremely difficult and challenging.
We cover mostly how to approach obstacles, how to engage and manage obstacles, and how to finish and follow through on an obstacle. An obstacle can be a flat corner, berm, drop, rock garden, jump (gap, table, kicker, step-up, step-down, hip), or even just a high speed off camber line on loose rocks.
Essentially any part of a trail is a feature in itself, and if we can get better at riding it, we session it and master it until we are stoked!
These are for riders keen on learning more about the enduro/all mountain/downhill disciplines, focusing on techniques to get better on difficult technical downhill trails and features. This session is a non-aggressive, no-pressure environment and all participants are encouraged to progress at their own speed.
All members should be fit enough to ride 8 hours on their bikes. We will mostly ride distances from 10-35km, but there could be days that we call a ride that requires us to go a bit further.
Every ride/session will be called in detail beforehand so that there is no confusion as to the expectations of the ride.
