This is the final class in the 200-level series and is designed to maximize students’ on-trail practice of all the skills covered in MTB 201, 202, & 203. We know that lots of learning happens in our “grassroom” sessions at a local park but we also want our students to practice these skills in real-life trail scenarios. By piecing together all the skills you worked on in the 200-level series you will start to feel the thrill of flowing blue trails with confidence and ease. Plus, riding these local trails with our encouraging coaches is super fun, and will provide you with helpful support like spotting (where possible) and a “tow-in” (or wheel to follow) through sections of trail.

This intermediate/advanced course is designed to get students progressing their skills for hitting jumps and catching air on some of our favorite features for learning on Galbraith Mountain. This class is a perfect next-step for taking all the skills you’ve learned in our “grassroom” (at a local park) and pumptrack sessions to practice in real-life scenarios on the trails. You probably know how much “sessioning” features can help you progress so that’s what this class is all about. If you didn’t know, “sessioning” is when you repeat a particular section of trail, often one that is challenging, seems to interrupt flow, or is just rad, taking various approaches until you start to feel your confidence rise and technique improve. Plus, riding certain features repeatedly with our encouraging coaches along with some direct video feedback is super fun and will provide you with helpful support. So while this won’t be a ride that clocks a lot of miles, it’s sure to help you build your technique in a fun and constructive way.

This intermediate course is designed for riders who are eager to build a solid foundation for more technical skills and learn the progressions needed to keep that foundation growing. Students can expect to cover a vast array of skills that are needed to successfully ride technical trails (blue and some black rated) in the safety of a controlled environment. Along with teaching you the foundations for a variety of necessary skills, your coach(es) will offer progressive successions for many skills as well. You can also expect some “fun” homework so you can continue building and refining your skills well after the session ends.

Would you consider yourself an intermediate rider? We know the term is rather broad but basically if you aren’t brand new (if so, see our 100 level classes) and you don’t feel particularly advanced or totally proficient in the wide variety of skills required to excel at mountain biking, you could probably describe yourself as “intermediate”. If this is you then consider signing up for our 200 level series of classes.
