Where we coach

Our Skills Courses utilise the fantastic Mountain Bike Trails at Rushmere Country Park in Bedfordshire (50mins North of London), Northampton Bike Park and Whippy Trails in Whippendell Woods, Watford. After our spiritual home Aston Hill Bike Park had to close for tree felling operations due to Ash Dieback.

Rushmere Park is currently carrying out forestry works that are effecting the Bike Park and the popular DH/XC trails around the park. It’s still a great venue for polishing your XC skills but in the meantime we are focussing our course provision at Northampton Bike Park and Whippy Trails until the trails at Aston Hill or Rushmere re-open in 2026. 

Northampton Bike Park opened in 2022 and offers a range of fantastic mountain bike trails perfect for developing your mountain. bike skills. From flowing Green and Blue grade single tracks to Black graded jump lines Northampton has it all. All the trails are surfaced making it another great year round venue. We will be running a range of courses there covering the skills essentials with the option to tailor our 1-2-1 MTB Skills Courses to meet your requirements.

Whippy Trails were designed and built by Firecrest’s founder Ian Warby as part of the Bike Park Chiltern’s CIC’s network of Bike Park’s and Trails. So it will come as no surprise that these trails are great for progressive coaching and skills development. From the basics to unlocking the hidden features on the trails you’ll certainly up your skills at Whippy Trails.
