One of our most popular courses and the 4 most important skills you can ever learn when it come to MTBing. Become a better rider, bursting with confidence, new techniques and the control to handle the most difficult of terrain with ease. Many of our very experienced SMBLA course candidates have commented on the fact that they would have benefited immensely from learning these skills when they first started mountain biking so why not join us and go 'back to basics'.

This course is aimed at those riders who are already competant in the 4 Core Skills and are ready to take their mountain biking to the next level. Using video feedback and analysis we will teach you to skim the rough stuff, ride drops like they don't exist, rail berms and clear obstacles using our brand new purpose built coaching trail.

Delivered from our classroom at Whinlatter, we aim to save you money by showing you just how easy bike maintenance really is. We offer 3 different courses to suit all abilities and requirements. Whether you just want to learn the basics or build on the knowledge you already have, we have a course for you.

Why a womens only course? From past experience on our skills courses we have found some women prefer to learn in a more 'supportive' all girl environment. Read more for more information about this testosterone free course!
