JUMPSTART -  mountain biking JUMP skills at Glentress Forest

"For the mountain biker who wants to hit jumps and gain real confidence in the air."

Aimed at the experienced mountain biker who wants to ride technical terrain but has struggled when the trail demands that you get airborne through jumps and large drops, or when a large degree of “pumping” the bike is required.

 

We’ll get you started on your airborne career on jumps and flying drop offs. Learn to pump the bike through tight and bermed corners and learn how to use every inch of the trail to gain and maintain speed. A great start to improve your skills for riding fast and tight singletrack and freeride trails.

 

We’ll make sure you understand the techniques and skills needed to reduce your risks and give you the skills and confidence to get your wheels off the ground! If you have always fancied learning to jump and ride smoother on fast trail then this course will get you off to a great start.
