Mountain Bike Coaching Courses

Why mountain bike skills coaching?

Have you reached a level in your mountain biking where you’re riding the same old trails in the same old way?

Why not let us help you move to the next level? With our fundamentals led Mountain Bike Coaching Programme we could improve every aspect of your trail riding.

Find out how to control your fear and stay relaxed; to walk the line between fight and flight. Learn to float over roots and rocks like they aren’t there, attack corner after corner without dabbing the brakes and find your flow.

What to expect from your course

At Astounding Adventures our fully qualified British Cycling accredited coaches use the very latest coaching techniques to help you get the most out of your course. Our coaches are trained in all of the major mountain bike skills coaching 'codes' and have cherry-picked the best coaching methods from each system.

We use a progressive approach to skills building to ensure that each new skill is perfected before we add the next level of complexity. Feedback is given on a group and individual basis by your coach who may, where appropriate, utilise video coaching for more effective analysis of your riding style.

At the end of the course each student is given personal feedback and is advised on what steps should be taken to consolidate their new skills and progress their mountain biking into the future.

We run courses with small groups of students with a ratio of 3-6 riders to each coach. 

So whether you're interested in just keeping up with your mates, riding competitively or getting out for epic adventures, we have the skills to get you riding faster, safer and with more confidence.
