As the session progresses, you'll practice flowing through rough terrain, mastering rock features, and handling drops and jumps with confidence. The training will also cover techniques for managing very steep trails, with a focus on discipline-specific tactics that can be applied to cross country, downhill, and enduro races. Throughout the session, Michael's rider-centred approach will ensure that you receive individual attention and feedback, helping you to make significant improvements in your technical descending abilities.
