Arrive early for setup
Show up 10–15 minutes early for a quick intake, bike fit checks, and goal-setting so the session maximizes riding time.
Bring a tuned bike
Worn brake pads or low tire pressure undermine learning—do a basic mechanical check or rent a quality trail bike locally.
Hydrate and fuel
Three hours of guided riding and drills demand steady hydration and a light snack to maintain focus and power.
Respect trail rules
Obey seasonal closures and stay on designated routes to protect soils and native vegetation while keeping trail access open.
Helmet
A properly fitted helmet is required for safety and confidence on trail features.
Gloves
Full-finger gloves improve grip and protect hands during drills and crashes.
Trail bike or rental
A well-maintained hardtail or full-suspension trail bike lets you practice the skills taught in-session.
Repair kit & pump
Spare tube, CO2 or pump, and multi-tool keep minor mechanicals from ending your lesson early.
