Core Skills

 Lets go ‘back to basics’! We will focus on some of the most important skills you can ever learn.  This begins with us briefly covering bike set-up and your body position and stance on your bike, so you are totally comfortable on your bike before we start getting too technical!

We cover techniques such as track stands, manuals and wheel lifts, and we will also go riding to attempt these skills ‘on the trail’. You may be surprised what bad habits you had picked up, or how much your riding improves by going back to basics!

• Core Skills include:-

  1. Bike checks and set-up

  2. Correct balance, weight shift and movement on your bike

  3. Braking, climbing and descending techniques

  4. The four key MTB skills- Manual front wheel lifts, Power-assisted Front wheel lifts, Rear wheel lifts, and trackstand

  and a bit of other stuff too….!
