Level UP – 3-Days of Skills

This incredible 3-day mountain bike course is designed to improve your riding in one of the best areas to progress in New Zealand. Ride with your new coach for 3 consecutive days to identify key opportunities to boost your confidence and take your riding to the next level. We will take you from intermediate to advanced with three separate rides and two lessons over your time in Rotorua.

Here are a few questions too just to make sure that you will fit right in. If you answer yes to three or more this is for you! Feel free to get in touch if you would like to talk more.

Are there certain features that catch you out on grade 4 and above?

Would you say that you easily ride grade 3 with no problems at all, grade 4 starts to feel a little tense in spots, and grade 5 you can get down but it's nothing pretty? 

You're just not sure if you are doing what you think you should be doing?

You have hit a plateau with your progression and you want to know the secrets to mountain biking - not just riding a bike?

ENQUIRE ABOUT PRIVATE GROUPS

DAY 1

2pm Meet in Rotorua – Dirt Intro 

Arriving in Rotorua, first things first, go for a ride, see how the conditions are and ride some fun trails and pick off at least one that is at the upper limit of your abilities. This ride is about meeting everyone and your coach  seeing where you are at. Teachable moments will be utilised but day one is just a warm-up.

Time in the forest: 3 hours

DAY 2

Skills and Shuttles

We’ll kick the morning off with a coffee at the local cafe and then kick into things with skills workshops, specifically working on body position, where and what we are looking for, and how to ride drops. We’ll then delve into Whakarewarewa Forest – time to put those skills to use and be coached along on a 3-hour private shuttle!

Time in the forest: 5-6 hours

DAY 3

Skills, shuttle and home!

We’ll do it all again today, albeit mixed up a bit! After a warm-up to a continuation of our skills workshops. We will take the time to delve deeper into some of the more technical aspects of mountain covering things like cornering, drops, or jumping. We will take a break for lunch before heading into the forest again for shuttles. By this stage, we will have a good understanding of where everyone is at and be riding trails that progress your confidence and you can get your flow on. You will be heading home with a newfound confidence and a better understanding of the trail network as a smoother rider.

Time in the forest: 5-6 hours
