MTB FAQ EXPLORER: FAQ

HOW SKILLED SHOULD I BE TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS COURSE?

The Mountain Bike Explorer packages are designed for riders of all abilities, but best suit riders with good fitness & bike handling skills.

You should already be comfortable with lifting the front wheel, hopping, and tackling small drops and steep trail sections, and are looking to develop these skills further as well as learn new locations to ride.

We tailor each trip specifically to the group helping you to achieve the your desired outcomes from the day.

If you are new to mountain biking our INTRODUCTION TO MTB course may be more suitable. To learn the basics before exploring further
