Description
REFINE YOUR TECHNIQUE ON STEEPER, MORE DIFFICULT TERRAIN. WITH OUR ROCKS, ROOTS AND CHUTES SESSION ON THE NATURAL TRAILS OF GLENTRESS.
For the experienced mountain biker who wants to learn some extra technical skills for riding rougher, steeper terrain. We’ll teach you advanced body positioning that assists your flow on harder lines, to find security from grip, not from your brakes! You’ll also tackle drops, roots and rocks on the way through Glentress’ best natural trails too. This group course concentrates on tight, technical terrain where good, fast decision making is the key to good flow and a safe ride!
We’ll cover most features found on black graded trails and beyond. All on the steeper, challenging terrain of Glentress’ steeper, natural “off piste” trails.
THINGS WE COVER IN ROOTS & CHUTES COURSE INCLUDE:
- Advanced body positioning.
- Fundamentals of weight distribution and grip.
- Wheel lifts and slow speed balance.
- Braking zones on steep & technical terrain.
- Riding off-camber terrain & technical features.
- Best practice for negotiating roots, rocks and uneven terrain.
- Riding narrow, loose and steep trails.
- Linking techniques on the trail to boost speed and flow
We’ll make sure you can handle the rough stuff and get the most out of your riding when out on steep and loose terrain. If you have any questions about our Rocks, roots & Chutes course, please contact us.
This is an adult group course. You must be 18 or over to take part.

G.Ward, Edinburgh –
Had a days tuition with Jess doing drops and jumps,money well spent her approach to the session was spot on talking us through each exercise telling what to do and why it should be done that way. By the afternoon we where clearing the bigger tables something I have never managed to do in the past. Thanks again guys.
