Requirements

Previous experience

No mountain biking experience is necessary. However, you must be able to ride your bike on flat & even ground before the start of the skills course. The skills session will start with a safe cycle check. During the course you will be given instructions and demonstrations of all the obstacles covered throughout the days activities. The instructor will endeavour to adapt or progress each section according to the persons individual riding ability.

Fitness level

You will need a basic level of fitness which will allow you to take part in this physical activity for the duration of the session. However, you will have the chance to recover at regular intervals due to the structure of the session. The day will be centred around demonstration, with individuals practicing several techniques to reinforce the learning process.

Your bike

A well serviced mountain bike with off road tyres should be adequate, front suspension is recommended. All participants must bring their own bikes, helmets, gloves and eye protection. * In case you cannot bring your own mountain bike, we can rent you a full suspension mtb (Scott Genius, MY 2025, 29″) and basic equipment. €60/session.
