This course covers the following techniques:

  • Riding large obstacles ie. drop offs at 1.5 metres.
  • Introduction to Northshore.
  • Endos.
  • Step ups.
  • Rock gardens.
  • Power lifts over obstacles.
  • Jumps such as tabletops.

Due to the nature of the obstacles we would advise you to bring body armour to protect youself from superficial injuries.

This course is suitable for mountain bikers who have the techniques on the Intermediate Skills Course and now want to build confidence on large obstacles and be able to ride trail centre black runs smoothly.

All participants must bring their own bike in a serviceable condition (bikes available on request) and the necessary safety equipment ie. HELMET, gloves and body armour if required.
