Beginner-Intermediate Skills Session: With Chris

Recently started mountain biking? Just starting to feel comfortable on the blue trails at Lysterfield and looking to get a bit smoother and/or faster? Join instructor Chris for a morning on the trails where we will work on skills to help improve your confidence and flow on the trails.

This session is targeted at the beginner to lower intermediate rider, and anyone else looking for a refresher on fundamental skills and manoeuvres. Topics covered on the day will depend on the available time and the group's abilities and preferences, and may include:

  • Building on fundamental skills such as body position, braking and terrain awareness
  • Basic manoeuvres including cornering, front and rear wheel lifts, and roll-downs
  • Line choice and linking sections of trail for better flow and speed

We may also cover particular features or sections on the blue trail network on request by participants.

There are no prerequisite abilities for this session, however a moderate level of fitness is recommended. The following are also helpful but not required:

  • A good understanding and application of the "ready" and "neutral" descending positions
  • Good brake control - able to control speed on the trails without skidding
  • Proficient use of gearing

All participants must have a trail-worthy mountain bike with front suspension at a minimum.  

​Minimum Age: 15 years
