Level 2 - Intermediate mountain bike group course
Take your riding to the next level on the trails
Designed for riders who have completed our "MTB Fundamentals" course or are already comfortable with their current skills, this course dives into the more technical aspects of mountain biking.
You'll work on advanced techniques like technical descending, pumping, manuals and essential skills that will help you progress confidently and safely on the trails. These skills are not only vital for navigating challenging terrain like roots, rocks, and trail features but also serve as a solid foundation for our next course, "Jumps & Drops."
Suitable for any mountain biker looking to improve their speed and confidence on red trails and progress onto more technical trails and larger features.
We will use the Summit Skills area and/or sections of the blue and red trails.
