This a terrain-based 4 session skills program is for riders who have ideally completed one or more of our Fundamental Skills Sessions and are an intermediate rider.
This program is made up of 4 sessions, which can be booked individually or as a package (comprehensive and cost effective). The program will consist of the 4 terrain based sessions below:
- Creative Cornering – Berms + Flats
- Steeps and Rock Gardens
- Roll downs and Drops
- Intro to Jumps
This program will provide an opportunity to progress your riding in a group setting while also receiving individual feedback about how you are putting your skills into practice at the wonderful La Larr Ba Gauwa Mountain Bike Park.
Fundamental skills will be applied (body position; operation of controls; terrain awareness) to more challenging terrain and features – including corners, rock gardens, steeps, roll downs, step ups, drops and jumps. These features and terrain types will also allow an opportunity to layer in more advanced skills such as; pressure control, direction control and timing and co-ordination.
There will be a chance for revision and refining of fundamental skills and how they might relate to specific features of the trail and a variety of terrain types.
The maximum participants for this session will be 6 to maximize your learning time and provide opportunity for specific individual feedback.
There will be 3 groups offered:
- Mixed genders – men, women and gender diverse (coaches who are men or women)
- Women and gender diverse (Coach who is a woman)
- Men and gender diverse (Coach who is a man)
LBGTQIA+ riders welcomed in any of our groups.
When you register for a program or session you can indicate your preferred group. Our final groupings will be dependent on minimum numbers and coach availability. To the best of our ability, we will try to cater for your preferences but in the event that we are unable to offer your preferred group, we will contact you with some options to choose from.
