The Course is ideal for Downhill and Enduro Riders new to the Firecrest MTB Skills Courses and riders that have previously had MTB Skills Training from Firecrest Mountain Biking. The Course will cover an introduction to the ‘The System’ and then a range of ‘Technical Trail Features’ including but not limited too; Jumps, Drops Corners and Techincal Downhill Sections showing how you can use ‘The System’ to optimise your Skills, Mindset, and give you more speed and confidence out on the trails.

‘The System’ will enable you to understand how to optimise your riding and easily identify areas that you need to focus on to build your confidence and speed. Tapping into our experience will give you the knowlege and confidence needed to ‘fast track’ the improvements to make those skills gains that will take your riding to a new level.
