MTB Skill Development Sessions - Lysterfield - 2018
|
We will start with the bare basics of Mountain Biking and put the FUN back into FUNdamentals!
We will gradually introduce and develop new skills, so that by the end of the series you will have the capability and confidence to not only take on basic trails and single track, but even have an opportunity to tackle obstacles and what we mountain bikers call “technical” stuff - all in a supportive and encouraging environment. And of course, one of the more important elements of the program will be the friendships you make along the way - we will all support and encourage each other as we develop as riders. Come along, join in the fun, and let’s get rad! Group size limited to 6 participants so you will have individual attention from your coach, with lots of opportunity for practice and feedback, and riding trails! Skills we will develop:

Mountain Bike Coaching & Skill Development
|
Some people think you just buy a bike and then go ride it! For some, this is a fine solution... but, it's a great idea to start building from the ground up with a foundation of good skills and techniques which will get you riding with more confidence, being able to take on more features and explore more trails, and ultimately enjoying your riding a whole lot more.
You've made the investment in buying a bike - now it's time to make the investment in yourself! |

1:1 or Small Group Private Coaching
The topics I cover in individual coaching sessions can range from essential bike handling skills through to mastering more advanced techniques. Skill development underpins confidence and safety on the bike. If you have something specific you want help with, or just want to fast-track your learning without a group curriculum, individual lessons are the way to go!
Some techniques I particularly love to help people develop:
Following a quick discussion and assessment of your current skill level, I will determine which skills you need to work on the most to gain maximum benefit, across a single or multiple sessions, and within a given time-frame if necessary.
Location: Usually at Lysterfield Lake Park or You Yangs MTB park, or other locations if needed (may attract a travel fee).
Investment: $139 for 1 person for a 2 hour session.
For small group bookings (up to 5 participants, ideally at a similar skill level): $139 per person for a 3 hour session.
Other session durations and frequencies available - contact me to discuss your needs!
Some techniques I particularly love to help people develop:
- Cornering. Sounds simple; but learning to take a corner well underpins pretty much everything else!
- Learning to control the bike, rather than having the bike control you
- Descending with confidence and enjoyment, rather than just hanging on for dear life
- Confidently negotiating trail features such as log rollovers, drops, and rock gardens
- Climbing efficiency, confidently and with more power
- Improving your balance to manouver through narrow and tight areas
- Achieving that essence of 'flow' that all the rad pinners rave about
- ... and many more!
