WHAT TO EXPECT 

All private coaching sessions are structured depending on riders’ goals and where the session takes place. Lessons can be purely SKILLS FOCUSED in a bike/skills park setting, giving you the opportunity to sharpen your skills in a controlled environment and to pack in the most amount of information, technique, practice and progression (we stay in a small area and don’t have to go far out). Newcomers are able to build a solid foundation to their riding, giving them a new set of skills and more confidence to try new things out on the trails. More experienced riders can hone in on a specific skill they would like to improve on. Cornering, drops, jumps and more!

If you’re keen to hit the trails and work on targeted skills and trail features then a HYBRID LESSON will give you the best learning experience. We will dial in ground work in the bike/skills park, giving you the opportunity to work on individual skills breakdowns and progressions. The lesson will then transition to the trails, targeting specific features and trails which will give you the opportunity to practice what you’ve learnt and build real life confidence. Often times you end up riding features you never thought possible. HECK YEAH! If you’re seeking more of a trail riding only experience then we recommend our Private Guided Skills Rides.
