This course is aimed at those riders who are already competent in the 4 core skills and are ready to take their mountain biking to the next level. Techniques required for drop offs, berms and tight single track trails are all coached using helmet cam and video feedback and analysis.

Whilst not a requirement,we recommend that you have either completed our 'Back to Basics' or Trail Cycle Leader course before coming along on the 'Intermediate Skills' course. If you have not completed either of these courses but feel you have the necessary skill level please do get in touch to discuss your experience.

What are the Intermediate Skills ?

Bunny Hops -The ability to hop the bike over an obstacle in a controlled manner.
Step Overs -The ability to independantly lift each wheel over an obstacle.
Step Ups -The ability to ride along and step the bike up onto a section of trail.
Drop Offs -The ability to ride of a small drop in a controlled manner using body position.
All these skills are extremely useful on both man-made or natural trials and wherever you tend to ride you will instantly see the difference these techniques make to your riding and the things you can attempt whilst out on the trail. We will once again use video feedback so you can admire yourself when you nail the best drop off, bunny hop etc of your life! This course will take you out of your comfort zone and beyond giving you the confidence and ability to attempt moves and terrain you would never have attempted before without imagining a trip to the local A&E!

We will take you on some great routes where you will be able to use your new skills to the max, getting the most out of that new bike you have just bought or helping you come to the decision that you now have a really viable reason to justify to the missus/hubby that you really do need that upgrade! How can they say no when you are suddenly so skillful?
