You will work on techniques that will help you ride smoother, faster and more confidently through trails. Think (bowl) turns, effective braking, holding speed and steep climbing and descending. The goal: more control and speed on steeper and rougher trails.
For mountain bikers who have already mastered the fundamental techniques and want to learn to ride smoother and faster. We recommend taking the Fundament clinic first, as this clinic builds on that.
Riding well through corners is not only done with your handlebars, but also by shifting your body and weight. Look ahead to where you want to go, pick the right line and let your bike do the work. During the clinic, we will practise this step by step on the track.
(Bowl) turns, effective braking, holding speed and steep climbing and descending. Everything is practised directly on the course, so you immediately apply the techniques in a realistic situation.
Mountain bike and helmet are compulsory. Check per clinic what the rental options are. In addition, make sure you bring gloves, sportswear and enough to drink. Knee pads are recommended, especially on the steeper sections.
Not compulsory, but recommended. On rougher terrain, full-suspension gives more grip and comfort. Do you ride a hardtail? Then you can definitely participate, but it requires a bit more of your technique.
Sure. Afterwards, you will receive video analysis and reference material to keep improving your techniques. Our trainers are also available for questions after the clinic, and through the MTBTravel community you will stay in touch with other riders.

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.
