2025 MTB Progression Sessions

​My mountain bike progression sessions provide coaching options for riders of different ability level and focus.

These sessions are aimed at supporting riders to develop great technique so that you can get the most from your riding whether you are a recreational trail rider, or if you race Enduro, DH or XC. The sessions will run throughout the spring and can be attended as standalone sessions, or alternatively they will work as a progressive series to enable riders to maximise development from one to the next. All group sessions have a maximum of 6 riders to ensure a high level of individual coaching support.

 

The sessions are split into two categories of ability level, 'Novice - Improver' and 'Intermediate+'.

 

Novice - Improver sessions are designed for riders who are relatively new to mountain biking, or those who've ridden off road for a while, but who don't possess the skills and/or confidence to progress onto more technical terrain. These sessions can also offer a welcome refresher or 'tune up' if you haven't ridden in a while and feel that your skills might be a bit rusty.

 

Novice - Improver sessions are as follows:

• Sat 12th April: Trail riding fundamentals

• Sat 26th April: Pump and flow

• Sat 17th May: Technical cornering

• Sat 31st May: Technical Trail Riding

All the Novice - Improver sessions will take place at Lochore Meadows Country Park, Fife. A fantastic and versatile coaching venue with trails and terrain ideal for rider development.

 

Intermediate+ sessions are for riders who, as a minimum, will find blue grade trail centre trails fun, fast and easy. They will relish the challenge of red grade trails and venture onto the occasional black trail. All of the Intermediate+ sessions are suitable for more advanced riders too, and are a great way to get rid of bad riding habits, or to fine tune your technique.

 

Intermediate+ sessions are as follows:

• Sun 13th April: Finding flow on advanced terrain - Hallyburton

• Sun 27th April: Advanced cornering  -  Deuchny

• Sun 11th May: Jumping - Deuchny (EXTRA SESSION!)

• Sun 18th May: 'Hops, pops and drops' - Deuchny

• Sun 1st June: Steep & Technical terrain - Ballo
