MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDING TECHNIQUE COURSES AND CAMPS

Why attend mountain bike riding technique courses at all?

Mountain bike riding technique courses, why actually? In the same way, one could also question a ski course. But biking can anyone, you learn in Tyrol but as a child, right? No, not at all. You learn to ride a bike in the city. Off-road, however, the world looks very different, there is gravel, roots, stones, steep climbs and descents, steps, narrow turns, etc.. And you definitely can’t do that just because you learned to ride a bike in your school days.

What is the advantage of a driving technique training? Here, one must distinguish between two aspects in particular. On the one hand, a solid basic technique offers a significant gain in safety, and on the other hand, a confident technique brings significantly more driving pleasure. Thus, so-called driving safety trainings are especially interesting for beginners, and re-beginners (e-bike). The course objective here is the safe mastery of gravel road descents at all gradients. The advanced courses, on the other hand, are clearly aimed at getting through even more challenging Tyrolean singletracks with more flow.

From the correct posture to the bunny hop

All our riding technique courses start with the basics. Without a proper posture, positioning and weight distribution on the bike you need not even try to learn more complex techniques. A good foundation is the basis for everything. So we’ll set you up and show you how to stand on the bike, how to properly use the two brakes, why the front brake is the more important one and how to lose the fear of using it too properly. In various exercise series we bring you step by step further. With advanced students, we usually make quick progress here. With the beginners, on the other hand, we take extra time here to make sure that everything really fits and that no unnecessary mistakes creep in. Once we (and you) are convinced that the basics are in place, it gets more complex. It goes on to tight turns, or the pushing technique in fast slippery turns. Of course, jumping is always a big topic. Here, too, it is relevant that techniques such as lifting the front wheel and rear wheel to overcome obstacles work smoothly. If this is the case, we continue with pig hop and bunny hop as well as their application forms on drops and tables.

Balance is a theme that has accompanied us from the very beginning. This skill is already relevant when learning how to climb and descend correctly in the riding safety courses and is then developed further and further up to the application when making hairpin turns at the riding technique camps.
