Video Analysis using Coaches Eye

We've been using video analysis on all our coaching sessions since we started coaching MTB over 13 years, which was rare in many companies. Now a lot has changed since then and we have kept up and moved with the times as riding styles, trails and bikes have changed. We have adapted our coaching keeping it fresh, we've always focused on these key ingredients video analysis, fun environment and flexible content.

Female specific

Coming on a female-specific course or private session with us can have lots of benefits, as well as being lots of fun and meeting other female riders, everyone is working on the same wavelength and in a testosterone free environment it’s really refreshing when you are trying to take your riding to that next level. We also cover fitness conditioning and goal setting too.

Having a female coach who understands your needs, puts you at ease and creates a really fun learning environment and can also show you what women are capable of, is a great change from the all to often publicised ‘Ladies’ course that actually has male instructors.

Lots of women ride and most ride with their partners or male friends. Guys don’t think along the same lines as women, they also learn and often ride in different ways too, as you might have noticed! That does not mean you can’t keep up with them and show them a thing or two though.

We work with small groups, so that you and a couple of friends can have coaching in a specific location that fits the skills you want to develop. Females respond to this friendly environment and develop their skills faster this way. Thats why we do it!

So, no matter if you just like pottering about the local lanes and bridleways or if you are a Downhill Diva or even a wannabe Jump spot Queen we can help you on your way. 

Learning at your own level and pace with a female instructor is a fantastic way to develop your skills further. Why not get in touch with us and see where we can take your riding with you?

Open courses includes:

• A full day (10am to 4.30pm) of fully qualified MTB Skills coaching
• Suitable progressive terrain in our own ‘private’ skills area
• Live video coaching so you can see what you are actually doing
• Post course feedback CD with all the video footage from the course on with Demo's etc
• Individual post course feedback sheet with the key learning elements of each skill and top tips.
• Max 6 people per course!  

To book your place on any Women Specific Courses simply contact us with your details and receive further info and we will get you booked in.
