Join our improver skills training for mountain biking, designed for riders who have moved beyond the beginner stage but are still seeking to build confidence and refine their techniques. Our sessions are filled with encouragement, fun, and laughter, focusing on enhancing your existing skills while enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors.
In the improver skills training, you'll first engage in a comprehensive review of your bike setup, including pre-ride checks, tyre pressure adjustments, saddle height setting, and handlebar control adjustments. The session will then move on to more advanced skills such as dropper post usage, gear selection, and braking techniques. You'll learn to optimise your body position and movement on the bike, focusing on the ready position, weight shifting, and speed control.
The course continues with practical exercises on cornering, mastering climbs and descents, and trail flow, which involves reading the trail and maintaining a smooth ride. Mental skills are also a key component, with emphasis on relaxing on the bike, staying loose, positive thinking, visualisation, and maintaining concentration. The session culminates in putting theory into practice with a ride through the beautiful local countryside, applying the skills you've learned in real-world scenarios.
