With trail centres like Ashton Court, Forest of Dean, Cwmcarn & Afan just a short drive away and of course our very own Croft Trail on our doorstep, you might want to brush up on the skills needed to get the most out of them.
So whether you’re a regular rider but trail centre virgin who wants to prepare for their first visit or you’ve been but want to be faster/smoother/safer, this course is for you.
Led by a qualified mountain bike instructor, all the intermediate skills required to maximise your enjoyment of trail riding are covered, including:
- Pre-ride bike safety checks
- Better bike setup
- Advanced riding position
- Front wheel lifts
- Rear wheel lifts
- Bunny hops
- Drop-offs
- Berms
- Q&A and Advice
Open to all aged 18 or over (unless accompanied), the course will be held at our own Croft Trail and last around 5-6 hours (10am – 3/4pm). All you need is a well-maintained mountain bike, a helmet and a few basics. You don’t need to be super fit, been riding for years or even have done our Core Skills course first. However you should be a regular rider happy with the sort of things outlined in our Core Skills course (if not, we strongly recommend doing that one first).
