This course by Summit Mountain Biking is designed to take you through the basics of mountain bike riding through a progressive series of four tutored skills days.

Starting off on one of our beginner MTB trails, you will be guided through the basic core skills required for taking your bike off-road. As your skills and confidence increase with expert tuition, you will move to a progressively more technical and exciting terrain.

Each session is designed to take place 2 weeks apart - to allow you to practice and get used to the new skills learned - before progressing to the next stage.

Intermediate Skills include:
