Neville WarburtonSome new skills - looking around corners, weighting & unweighting & feathering brakes.Read more...

Laura BrownWas one of the best courses i have done. Went well above expectations. Run with passion and dedication and tailored brilliantly to peoples skill (or lack of) level. Would recommend it to anyone. Me and the girls i went with have swapped email addresses and have started mountain biking on a Saturday. We were never made to feel stupid, although we knew we were hopeless. Thank-you so much.Read more...

Andrew McCallumHow to tackle rocky uphills and how to approach/navigate dropoffs. Looking for 'A' lines and 'the path not always ridden'Read more...

Jodie ArnottThe course was superbly and professionally organised, with encouraging, knowledgeable instructors. It was inclusive of all levels, and as such really developed my confidence and skills. Thank you for a great day, I'll be back for another course soonRead more...

Michael Stephenslooking up more - keep reminding myself of this, keeping my elbows tucked in on climbs - still practicing getting used to this one and the pushing squat to lauch off dropsRead more...

Bin Dixon-WardI learned Heaps! The biggest was to slow down, get the technique right and not to hammer down out of control! So for me this means, attack position,pushing forward on steep drops, unweighting over logs and step ups and bum back.Read more...

I think you have tapped into a sleeping giant. As an outside looking in, your business sense seems spot on, you both have the knowledge and respect of the mountain bike community. Could you improve this clinic? I gave this a lot of thought, and couldn\'t come up with anything, so no!! I haven\'t stopped talking about it. I will recommend you guys to my riding mates who are looking to improve their skills. Good luck with it all.

Mette Uhre AnbyI had a really good time and was definitely challenged in a good way. I really enjoyed it all and it was great to finish doing the whole track in one and the different obstacles, we had worked with. ThanksRead more...

Ilana BurtonHad a great time, good student to teacher ratio, nothing I can think of improve the clinicsRead more...

Josh MilesImproving these clinics would be hard, this one was very well run and thoroughly enjoyable and as I told Norm at the end of the day, I could not turn the pedals any more if I tried but I had learned a lot - this was perfect.Read more...

David JohnsonThanks for a great MTB skills day on Sunday. Jess was outstanding. Her patience, focus on each student, and clear description of each skill and how to perform it made the day both fun and informative. Because of your course structure and Jess’ coaching skills I could see and feel an exponential improvement in my riding as the session progressed. This was reinforced a number of times in the second half of the session but non-more-so than the entry into the Boulder run. Seeing the rock wall and then breezing over it confirmed to me that I had metabolised the…Read more...

Learnt heaps, generally speaking the course improved my confidence but specific learnings included learning how to turn tight corners whilst travelling up hill, log roll overs and smoother riding on tight single track.

Peter McWatersI really thought the whole day was run very well. The intros were excellent, a great icebreaker and Norm's instruction was top notch. I think you are doing a wonderful job.Read more...

Your experience level can vary, but generally you have probably ridden a little before and maybe even ride quite a bit, however like many riders before you, you didn''t grow up on a bike and perhaps missed out on many of those most fundamental skills that a effective Mountain Biker needs.

All you need is a roadworthy mountain bike, a helmet and the willingness to learn. Our instructors are NOT prima donas, but rather good teachers who love to ride, just like we hope you do too!
Some of our longer duration courses also include an introduction to basic Mountain Bike mechanics, where we will show you how to keep your bike going.
