Try your hand at trials riding with this fun and confidence-boosting two-hour adult taster session in Whitewell, Lancashire. Designed especially for first-timers, this session eases you into off-road motorcycle control and gets you riding across exciting terrain in no time.
After signing in, you'll be kitted up with all the gear you need, followed by a short but important safety video. You’ll meet your instructor and be matched to a suitable trials bike – petrol or electric depending on your choice and what suits you best. There’s no need to worry if you’ve never been on a motorcycle before – your instructor will guide you through the basics step by step.
The session begins on flat ground where you’ll learn how to control the throttle, use the clutch, and balance at low speed. As your confidence grows, the instructor will mark out 'sections' using coloured flags – these are simple obstacles designed to gently challenge your control and balance. You’ll ride across grassy fields, slopes and over purpose-built features, always at your own pace. The session is adjusted in real time to suit how the group is doing, so it stays fun and never overwhelming. Whether you're here to try something new or thinking of taking things further, this is a solid, exciting starting point.
This session takes place in Whitewell, a scenic area in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. The site is surrounded by fields, gentle hills, and farm tracks – ideal terrain for beginners who want a bit of variety without anything too intense. It’s peaceful and rural, with wide-open views and lots of space to ride.
The riding area is purpose-built for trials training, with a mix of open land and section areas clearly marked out for different levels. Facilities include shelter, toilets, refreshments, and parking. Parents or guardians of under 18s are welcome to stay on-site, and there’s home baking and hot drinks available while you wait.
You do not need a motorcycle licence, previous off-road experience, or any prior riding skills. The course is designed specifically for complete beginners.
If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must stay at the venue for the entire duration of the session. Riding kit is included, but bring your own clothing layers to wear underneath, especially in colder weather.
This location is known for being one of the best beginner-friendly trials venues in the UK, thanks to expert instructors and a relaxed, supportive approach. Lessons are delivered in small groups and progress is tailored to each individual, so no one is left behind or pushed too far.
The training bikes are modern and well-maintained, with a range of petrol and electric options to suit different preferences. Whether you BYOB or hire one of ours, you’ll be set up with the right kit and advice to get started safely and with confidence. It's a fun, accessible way to try trials riding – no pressure, just plenty of encouragement and a few laughs along the way.
