Limburg: two days working on your mountain bike skills
This weekend is all about improving your MTB skills.
We start with (repeating) the most important basic techniques, before taking it to the next level. Even though you may have been on the MTB for a while, we are convinced that there is still plenty to learn and improve on the basic technique. And this is important because we will continue to build on it throughout the weekend to push boundaries.
South Limburg has technically challenging routes (including 2 NK courses) and numerous opportunities to improve your MTB skills.
We will work on steep climbing and descending, how to find balance by using viewing techniques and taking obstacles. Technical turns, riding a drop and line choice will also be discussed. Also think about using the Bunny-hop and the principles of the Manual to be able to ride an obstacle or drop.
Accommodation is a comfortable hotel on a full breakfast basis. There is possibility to hose down your bike, do maintenance and, of course, store it safely. After a day working on your skills, enjoy a drink at the bar or in the (sunny) garden.
Day program
Saturday
On Saturday, we will gather between 10:00 and 10:30. Once everyone is ready to get on the MTB, we start the programme with a variety of fundamental MTB techniques. Even if you have been riding MTB for years, you will be surprised at what there is still to learn. The rest of the day is all about pushing boundaries. We move to a challenging trail in the area, where we work on steep climbing and descending, finding balance through viewing technique and taking on obstacles. Technical turns, riding drops and choosing the right line will also be covered!
Sunday
On Sunday, we will focus on riding root paths and off-camber trails, as well as on drops and jumping. Today, we will mainly focus on your personal learning goals. Of course, we will look for the most beautiful trails in the area with challenging passages. Around 15:30 it is time to say goodbye and go home, with a great experience and a lot of new techniques richer!

Our reviews
Roland Mol24 September 2024 Met MTB Travel naar Schotland geweest. Aanrader van jewelste. Alles goed geregeld. Je moet wel met vertrouwen op de fiets zitten en flink kunnen klimmen. Niet bang zijn voor stijle (soms wortel-) afdalingen of een jump. Ook vallen is simpelweg niet uit te sluiten. Goede bescherming is dus een must. Als dit je niet afschrikt: kijk naar de foto’s en besluit voor jezelf. Hoe gaaf is dit… 😃🤘🏻 Mariska van der Voort25 Juli 2024 Fantastische week waar je je eigen grenzen kan opzoeken onder goede begeleiding. De opbouw van deze week is heel goed, stapje voor stapje uitdagender. Het is een intense week, maar laat ook zeker genoeg ruimte over voor je eigen invulling. Volgend jaar ben ik er weer bij. boldor boldor16 Juli 2024 Had a great clinic week in Nauders, very well organized and lot's of fun. Nice apartments with a small practice field in the garden. Trails in the Nauders area are epic. From flowy, to very technical with steep rocky, rooty descents. Super fun to ride, in a beautiful area. Martijn (instructor) provides a really well build-up during the week. The enables you to build your skills and confidence at a relaxed and responsible manner. Together with lot’s of personal feedback your riding will undoubtedly improve vastly. Meneer Pablo15 Juli 2024 Ik heb een heel leuk en fantastisch weekend gehad! Geoffrey Van Der Voordt14 Juli 2024 Eerste keer met een MTB-groepsreis mee en zeker niet de laatste keer! MTB Travel heeft met de reis naar Nauders de lat hoog gelegd. Comfortabele accommodatie, kundige trainer en goede reisorganisatie. Martijn heeft elke dag een goede opbouw uitgestippeld, waardoor iedereen in de groep grote stappen vooruit ging. Mischa heeft prachtige foto’s gemaakt (ook niet onbelangrijk😉) en goede medische ondersteuning verricht (met het grenzen verleggen tijdens het mountainbiken ga je toch echt een keer vallen…). Deze reis kan ik men zeker aanbevelen! Luke13 Juli 2024 The trip to Nauders with MTB Adventure was a blast! Organization of logistics was smooth and riding with their mountain bike coach helped me a lot in improving my skills down the technical enduro trails at Reschenpass. Our group consisted of six people plus the MTB coach and an organizer from MTB Adventure, resulting in a kind and supportive group atmosphere. Tom Klerks1 Juli 2024 Een hele leuke clinic gehad in Lunteren. Ik deed de 'Next level Skill training'. Stijl afdalen, Switchbacks, Endo, Endo turn, klimmen met opstakels en trackstand. De trainer pakt iedere techniek stapje voor stapje beet en voor je het weet ga je met veel meer vertrouwen de moeilijke dingen doen! Kracht zit echt in de herhaling wat je voldoende doet. Verassend dat ik sommige technieken verkeerd had aangeleerd, zo ging ik bijvoorbeeld altijd door de knieën in een afdaling, terwijl ik juist rechtop moet gaan staan. De volgende training staat alweer gepland om aan de slag te gaan met drops en jumps! arthur gabrielse27 Juni 2024 Als Bossche Bikers samen met MTB Adventures en nog andere instructeurs een clinic mogen bezorgen voor een internationaal bedrijf. Fijne en professionele samenwerking gehad met Mischa. Aanrader! Eelco van der Leer25 Juni 2024 Top clinic! Goede begeleiding en mooie route.
