Let’s Ride!

MTB Courses

Whether you're brand new to the trails or ready to level up your skills, these courses are designed to help you ride with more confidence, flow, and fun.


From first berms and rollable drops to building trust in yourself on steeper terrain, you’ll learn in a supportive, no-pressure environment, at your own pace, with expert guidance.

Let’s build skills that stick, and have a good laugh along the way.

Beginner JUMPS, Drops and Berms

  • This session is perfect for you if:

    • You’ve started riding blue and red trails and want to feel more confident on features like berms, rollable drops, and small jumps

    • You’ve watched others ride features and thought “I’d love to try that, but I’m not sure how…”

    • You want to progress safely with guidance, not guesswork

    • You’re ready to work on your skills without pressure, at your own pace

    • You’ve never jumped before, or you’ve started but want to dial in technique and build trust in yourself

    No need to be “fast” or fearless—just bring your curiosity and we’ll take it from there.

  • By the end of the session, you’ll have a solid foundation in:

    • Rolling drops with control and confidence

    • Flying off small drops with confidence

    • Pumping and flowing through berms

    • Intro to small jumps and safe landings

    • Reading the trail and picking smooth lines

    • Building confidence through progressions that feel doable, not scary
