Session One – Recap on the Fundamental Skills and Drops
The fundamentals are important to get right whether you are a complete beginner or you are a seasoned pro. This first session we go over the fundamentals to have everyone speaking the same language and to create a solid platform to progress from.
Almost every trail has some kind of a drop in it that you need to be able to deal with. In this session, you will get the tips to unlock drops.
Vision, Body Position, Braking
Session Two – Cornering
Cornering is a huge topic to unpack but it’s worth it. We all want to get faster and cornering has a huge part to play in that.
You will learn how get the right speed for any given corner, where your body should be, and key things to think about that will help with any corner anywhere.
Session Three – Jumping
There are some key things that are going to help you with getting air, and more importantly, landing and being ready for the next thing that the trail is going to throw at you. Build confidence and learn what you should be doing to take to the air safely.
Session Four – Line Choice
This is where we put it all together and take a look at some new trail that you want to ride. Ride some trail with the coach and get feedback on your riding while you practice what you have learnt over the month.
Trail Flow
Learn how to work the trail for free speed and be in control more of the time. Stop being thrown around by the trail or your bike.
Climbing
Tips and tricks to help with climbing. Of course, fitness is pretty helpful but that’s not the be-all and end-all.
Braking
To go fast, you need to be able to stop. Learning to brake confidently will transform your riding and help you relax, which will take your riding to the next level.
Creative Line Choice
 Want to know how to make the most of a trail to have the most fun? Sessioning sections of trail to play with lines is a good way to start to see what is possible for you and your style.
Deep dive on cornering techniques
Body position, speed, line choice, bike position, pumping, sliding, all of the things that make cornering go from scary to fun!
Session a particular trail or feature
We all have goals. You might be surprised that a struggle for you is quite often a struggle for others as well. Group up and lets go check out a trail together.
Skids and Wheelies
Seriously fun. It’s like defensive driving but for mountain biking.
