Jumps and Drops 1 Riding Skills Day

'Jumps and Drops 1' riding skills course will help you develop your riding skills on all manner of steps, drops and jumps.  Knowledge - Technique - Confidence - Practice are going to stop you hesitating and struggling on rides in Trail Centres and on Natural Trails.  

You may have heard terms like 'pumping, power lift, manual, roll, wheelie'. We are going to help you understand these terms and use these techniques to develop your skills enabling you to ride ramps, steps, steep drops, jumps and more.  This course has been very carefully structured to start with some basics like lifting the front wheel, from there you'll progress quickly.
