Discover an amazing new sport, or seriously improve your existing bike skills. If you suspect your bike’s capable of much more you’re almost certainly right …a bit of coaching & there’ll be no need for your mates to leave you behind on technical trails again! |
Beginner Courses
Start the sport with confidence. You’ll learn skills like:
- correct use of gears
- safe braking
- riding position
- small drops – no need to go over the bars!
- cornering
- rough ground
- climbing & descending
- cornering
Intermediate/Advanced Courses
Add to your existing skills:
- manuals & wheelies
- rear wheel lifts & bunny hops
- bigger drops – still no need to go over the bars!
- air – you can learn, not just hope for the best!
- steep, tight berms
- picking a line in the tech stuff
- descending with speed
- advanced cornering – fine tuning
It goes without saying that the above is just a guide, and the courses aren’t limited. If the group learns fast, then we’ll cover a bit more. If you’re booking as a ready-made group, the course can be tailored to your needs
Winter Skills Courses
Winter’s either coming soon or here already, depending on your point of view! It’s an ideal time for a bike skills course – many people find winter conditions a bit daunting. A winter course will give you the skills to ride with confidence when the conditions are less than ideal and come the summer nothing will hold you back!
Whatever level you’re at, with a skills course or some 1:1 coaching you’ll see rapid improvements to your riding & confidence
Group CoursesCourses are held at Dalby Forest* We’re flexible though, so if you want a course on your local trails, then feel free to get in touch for a price Contact us to book a place on a course or book online.

Ladies Skills CoursesGet your bike skills up to scratch in an all female group. Guaranteed to be a fun day, no men allowed …and if you usually ride with blokes, leave them for dust on the next ride and listen for the inventive excuses! Next ladies course date here. Book online or contact us to pay by cheque. If you’ve already got a group together (min 3, max 8), feel free to get in touch for a date if the advertised one doesn’t suit |
