BIKE SKILLS COACHING • TASMANIA
In-person mountain bike coaching backed by video analysis, internationally recognised qualifications and online follow-up that keeps your progression moving.
Coaching Overview
Fun and learning is the aim of all our sessions this translates into you being more confident on a bike.
We have several options for your coaching journey. You can join us in one of our Skills (public) sessions where we have a session with 3 to 6 riders. If there isn’t a session on at a convenient day or time, then we can provide private sessions.
In all our sessions we cater to the individual, making sure your riding progresses. We use our skills to analyse your technique and biomechanics with the assistance of the latest video software.
Post session, all riders have 12 months or 12 video reviews (whichever comes first) online follow-up with your coach as we all know the learning and progression isn’t contained within the initial session.
The rider does not require any special software or additional subscriptions to access this ‘online’ package, however having WhatsApp installed on your phone improves the video quality both ways.
Below is an outline of the sessions we provide, please reach out to us with any questions you may have.
PUBLIC SKILLS PATHWAY
We have a number of Skills sessions available to help you progress your riding. For the best overall experience, we encourage you to attend sessions in the order posted.
One sessions learnings lead into another which will optimize your ride time. There are some sessions that require you to attend another first, these are outline as the prerequisite.
Covers body position, trail awareness, intro to braking and associated skills.
Further building on session one, we move into cornering (berm’d and flat), ability to maintain ‘flow’ (free speed) on a trail.
Here it’s time to really get things moving on the down trail as well as making it smoother/easier/quicker to get to the top before the fun, climbing. More maneuvers (hoping over roots, “puddle” manuals, wheelies), line choice and more.
Prerequisite: Session 1.
Accelerate your fun and style by learning the technique, skills & maneuvers for jumps.
Prerequisite: Session 4.
Now that you have learnt the base skills to jump, come to this session to refine your jumping further. Move onto larger jumps, tricks, gap jumps and more.
PRIVATE SESSIONS
Interested in coaching, however the public dates don’t work for you, or you want more 1 to 1. We can create something for you. Private sessions are for 1 to 6 people. Get a group of friends together and have fun!
We can either use the skills session above for your session as the starting point and/or we discuss what you want to achieve and configure a session, or multiple sessions, for you.
GEEK SESSIONS
We are bike geeks, happy to admit and own that label but not everyone is.
These sessions are about helping the rider understand more about their bike and components. Don’t be put off, it’s not a classroom session in the car park being told how something works!
We take you and your bike onto the trail, explain and put into practice the use of the bike components. Fun and learning is the aim of all our sessions, have a look below for the one that may suit you.
For newer riders or anyone getting familiar with a modern bike: setup, gear-shift timing, dropper use, brake choice, cockpit position and suspension lockouts.
Demystify rebound, compression, sag and the red and blue knobs. Complete a practical bracketing session and feel how adjustments change the ride.
Use suspension data logging to review your current setup, record repeated laps and refine the bike. Physical internal tuning is not included, but the data can be shared with your suspension specialist.
GROUP PROGRAMS
We develop multi-week, term-based, camp and team-building programs shaped around the group, facilities and desired outcomes.
