We have two Developing MTB Skills courses designed to help you develop your skills required to ride RED and BLACK trails. Ideal for riders new to Red trails, or those who have been riding for years and want to refine their skills.

Finding your FLOW is all about learning to be in harmony with your bike, so you can tackle those Red and Black runs with confidence. Use the FLOW well and you will start to utilise your Skills more effectively and enjoy your Mountain Biking like never before. (Click here for further information)

ROCK’n’DROP course is designed to introduce or refine the skills used to descend, climb or ride over rocks and rough terrain; developing the skills to ride RED and BLACK trails with confidence and style. (Click here for further information)

Both our Developing MTB courses are normally programmed on the same day, and can be both booked as a full day course, at a discounted price.

Finding Your FLOW

This three hour course is for those riders who want to find their FLOW, and currently ride (or looking to ride) their Mountain Bikes on Red graded trails and Moorland single track, but want to progress on to more technical terrain; whether more technical Red and Black trails, or venturing onto more technical Hill and Mountain single track.

This course is designed to set you up so you can start to tackle the harder Mountain Bike trails. The course will allow you to develop your existing skills and reinforce the techniques needed to ride these gnarly routes, including:

- How to find your FLOW

- Choosing a good line

- Flowing over obstacles.

The course also aims to inform you about riding safely so you enjoy the sport.
