You will learn how to ride on, over and off obstacles in a controlled way. Think of drops (push and jump), jumps, roots, tipping into sharp corners and loose ground during climbs and descents. In short: the trickiest obstacles you will encounter on Dutch MTB courses.
This clinic is for experienced mountain bikers who have already mastered the fundamental techniques. We recommend taking the Fundament clinic and the Technique Flow clinic first, as complex techniques build on those basics.
In a push-drop, you actively push the bike off the edge and lower the front wheel first for a controlled landing. In a jump-drop, on the contrary, you jump off the edge, making you more airborne. We build up both techniques step by step.
A helmet is mandatory. Knee pads and other protectors are optional, but we recommend them at this clinic. Also bring gloves (preferably with long fingers), sports clothes, snacks and plenty of drinks. Check per clinic what the rental options are.
A full-suspension is the most suitable. The suspension helps cushion landings and gives more control on rough terrain. A hardtail is also possible, but makes it a lot more challenging. In any case, make sure your mountain bike is in good condition.
Yes. We start with smaller obstacles and gradually build up to the bigger drops and jumps. The clinic lasts 2.5 hours and we work in small groups of 4 to 8 participants, so there is enough attention to grow at your own pace.
Absolutely. You get video analysis and reference material to take home, so you can watch everything back at your own pace. Questions afterwards? Our trainers will help you further. And as a member of the MTBTravel community, you can ride with other experienced mountain bikers.

The level of a trip depends on your mastery of Fundamental MTB skills (blue) and Technique (red).
You will master the fundamentals of mountain biking if you know how to apply the following techniques with confidence: Basic, Attack and Flow stance, effective braking and at speed come turns as well as flat turns. Loose ground is no problem for you and you also ride over obstacles and ride rolling drops with confidence.
With flow techniques, you know how to maintain and create speed. You master fast turns and drop techniques (push and jump). You make line choices while riding, use the Pedal-kick and ride Off-Camber. You ride technical climbs and descents with sharp turns with confidence, as well as jumps and root passages.
Still having trouble choosing or are you still in doubt? We are happy to guide you to get the most out of your next MTB trip. To this end, we have developed a clear, constructive clinic programme. Of course, this includes the fundamental techniques that are so important that you really need to master them.
