Keep up with the kids: Lunchtime MTB skills clinic - Session #4 Intro to jumps

Boost your mountain biking skills during your lunch break with Fitlikemtb's one-hour coaching clinic on Monday, October 5th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM at Banchory Woodland Trails. This session is the final installment in a series of four weekly clinics designed for riders looking to enhance their abilities and gain confidence on challenging terrain.
Led by British Cycling accredited MTB Gravity coach Mandy Prowse, this fourth clinic focuses specifically on introducing participants to jumps—a crucial skill that can elevate your riding experience significantly. The course covers essential techniques needed to tackle small jumps safely and effectively, ensuring you leave feeling more prepared for the trails ahead.
The series kicked off with an introduction to fundamentals and finding flow (September 14th), followed by a session dedicated to cornering and berms on September 21st, and concluded with an introductory lesson in drops on September 28th. Each class is tailored to accommodate both beginners and intermediate riders who are eager to progress their skills.
Participants should come equipped with a well-maintained bike, helmet, gloves, appropriate clothing for the weather conditions, and a spare inner tube or tubeless plugs. Knee pads are also recommended but not mandatory.
The event takes place at Banchory Woodland Trails car park where space is limited to just eight riders per session due to personal attention from the coach. Pre-registration is essential as spots fill up quickly. The cost for each session is £10 and can be paid through EntryCentral.
Please note that participation in this coached session occurs entirely at your own risk, with full responsibility lying on you regarding health and fitness status. It's advised to consult a doctor before engaging in any strenuous physical activity or training programme.
