The TRAIL RIDERS CAMPS cover body position, braking, corners, developing FLOW, introduction to technical trails and introduction to roll off’s and small drops, and also look at fundamental skills like manuals. Please see below for each days itinerary.

The TRAIL RIDERS CAMPS are ideal if your child is aged 10 or over, they are comfortable riding a bike, but are new, or fairly new to Mountain Biking; and wanting to develop their MTB skills and confidence on their bike.
