Jumps & Drops

Get Ready to Take Flight!

Level 1 - Jumps and drops - First Air 

Get Ready to Take Flight! 

Our First Air course is perfect for confident riders who would like to start jumping and tackling drops. Whether you're starting to feel that weightless sensation on the trails or want to learn how to handle small jumps and drops with control, this course is for you! 

We’ll start with the basics on very small table tops and gradually progress to slightly larger beginner-friendly table tops. Once you have mastered the basic jumping techniques, we will apply your newfound confidence to small drops and gradually work up to bigger drops. If you’re already comfortable with airtime or looking to clear gap jumps for the first time, check out our Further Air course instead. 

Aimed at riders looking to start jumping features typically found on blue and red trails.
