Whether you are brand new to mountain biking, or you are ready to progress your skills – we have a Progression Series to help you build confidence on the trail. Our event starts with targeted skills that coincide with a trail ride that has ample opportunity to continue your development; our multi-week mountain bike lessons are designed to tackle each skill with an instructional ride to hone in on technique, confidence and of course fun!

This series is perfect for anyone who prefers to have time to really focus and develop skills in a small group setting. Our professional coaches are here to provide you with the infamous Dirt Series progressions – and help you grow your skills and confidence.

IS THIS LEVEL RIGHT FOR ME?

Participants who are exploring black terrain with some success, and feel confident on all blue terrain would feel most at home in the Experienced Intermediate Rider level.

Riders in this level can get over most obstacles on the trail including flat terrain roots, rocks and obstacles, can ascend over most technical features on climbs and can roll down curb to knee high obstacles with comfort. Riders incorporate dropping techniques into their riding on smaller trail features, and can control their speed with ease ensuring both traction and confidence are maintained throughout the descent. Riders incorporate leaning into many corners, and ride dynamically with control through rough terrain.

Advanced riders are comfortable in all blue terrain and some single black trails, and can navigate most of the trails features with success including steep pitches, on trail obstacles knee-to-chest height and feel comfortable with exploring challenging terrain by evaluating and then proceeding with caution. Riders in this group are capable of riding flow trails with control including leaning and rotating in corners, jumping small jumps (and landing most of the time on the landing), dropping off obstacles that are at least knee height with control, and are building confidence on larger jumps, berms and drops.

Riders in this level are looking to refine specific techniques to progress into more advanced, flow terrain including larger air techniques, assessing and riding larger descending terrain and technical obstacles like rock rolls and purpose build structures, and navigating advanced technical terrain with control (ie. technical descents including narrow line selections, root balls, mandatory drops and more).
