This course is aimed at riders comfortable on blue trails and looking to progress their skills to the next level under the expert guidance from Katy Curd in a super friendly and non-intimidating all female group environment. We recommend that you have done the ‘Trail Progression’ session before ‘Jumps & Drops’ to help you progress at a faster level but it is not essential.
You need to bring your own MTB suitable for the trails (or hire one). It is your responsibility to make sure it is in good working order for the session and you bring the necessary non-standard tools should you need to repair or adjust it.
