Learn the essential foundation skills for riding the most common mountain biking trail features.

In an all female learning group, learn the essential skills for tackling common mountain biking trail features. We’ll give you the techniques to develop into skills so you can confidently tackle the trail ahead of you. From positioning yourself correctly on the bike, showing you how to move freely, to maintaining your momentum on blue and red style trails. You’ll learn how to stay in control with the confidence to start tackling more technical trail features. The course is progressive to build your skills.

We will establish the foundation skills so you can go out and have more fun on your bike in a safe and confident manner.

MTB foundation skills course content includes :

  • MTB Equipment, safety checks.
  • Mounting, dismounting
  • Body position, weight shift
  • Safe and effective braking.
  • Conserving momentum on the trail.
  • Reading and reacting to the trail ahead.
  • Rolling over trail obstacles.
  • Basic cornering techniques.
  • Gear selection

 

On this course, we spend the first part at a skills park developing the foundation skills before moving off  to the main trails. We will explain the skill of absorbing trail features in the context of positioning. We’ll also look at techniques for cornering and braking out on the trail to inspire confidence in the areas you’re tempted to be conservative.

Instructor Ratio: 1:6 maximum – we keep our training ratios low to ensure our Coach can spend the time required with each person on the course.

Course Cost: CHF200 per person

Customer Feedback

A big THANK YOU to you for the great day I spent in the forests above Lausanne. I wasn’t sure what to expect. But from the start, I felt good in this small group and the time passed very quickly. I appreciated that you didn’t force us to go through obstacles. It took a lot of courage from time to time and then I found that it wasn’t even too difficult. In the end I felt tired, especially in my head and legs. My husband was happy to hear that his wife enjoyed the class and had a great day. He cleaned the bike properly again – I was very spoiled. I really appreciated your way of teaching the class and would recommend you to other people
