Private session (varying ability)

This session is designed for riders that have already secured basic skills on a bike and therefore are ready to develop further techniques such as cornering, steeper terrain, drops and jumps in addition to riding longer trails.

The coaches will look to teach the participants how to: stop with control using back, front and combined brakes; maintain a suitable riding positions to deal with low obstacles overhead, obstacles on the ground and undulating terrain; move the body on the bike to deal with sharp bumps and simple trail features such as inclines, corners and sequential changes in directions; remain stable and neutralise bumps and undulations on the trail.

Price per session is £35.00
