This level is designed for the “never-ever” mountain biker, with a focus on developing fundamental bike handling for a fun and safe foray into mountain biking. With an emphasis on safety, we explore body position, using the brakes and changing gears and getting comfortable on the trails as well as the importance of trail etiquette.
Beginner:
Expanding on solid foundation of mountain biking skills and techniques is key to building confidence on the trail. Focusing on further development of body position, increasing proficiency with changing gears, braking, and cornering, then building on these core elements to explore navigating hills and obstacles.

Polishing up your MTB skills will have you climbing with power, descending with confidence, flowing through corners, and floating over obstacles. Increased proficiency with these skills will lead into developing advanced maneuvers such as bunnyhops and wheelies.
