Get the most from your mountain bike with a skills upgrade! A new bike or kit will improve your riding but good skills always make the biggest difference. We run group courses, 1:1 & 1:2 at Dalby Forest & weekend courses at a couple of the 7stanes trail centres in Southern Scotland Click the pictures below for dates & info |

1:1 & 1:2 training is popular with all levels of rider as the day is tailored to your needs. You get to spend time on the things you require. For advanced riders who want to make improvements 1:1 or 1:2 is essential as your requirements will vary quite widely. Experienced riders will need their technique fine tuning as much as learning completely new skills |

Group courses at Dalby Forest in North Yorkshire – a beginners course gets the basics right & you’ll finish the day with skills to ride most red routes without crashing. Intermediate days bring in the next level of riding skills including bigger drops & air. You’ll find yourself riding faster, smoother & safer. Other options include ladies only & ½ day air courses |
