Our coaching philosophy revolves around working with you to tailor the course to your needs, to the skills you want to develop or the trail problems you want to solve. We don’t have a fixed curriculum, the course evolves dynamically based on your interests, your level, and your progress. We focus on PROGRESSION in a supportive, safe, and fun environment.
We can, and do, offer all levels of coaching from beginner to advanced, we initially focus on coaching on trails one grade easier than the ones you want to progress to. By doing this we can remove much of the risk, fear and nerves that higher grade trails invoke, yet still teach you the skills necessary to go back and tackle harder trails.
Our private “Field of Dreams” facility has a wide variety of drops, jumps, and trail features you can practice and train on.
