Details
Do you want to become a pilot instead of just a passenger and gain complete control over your bike in every moment? With our methodically structured and didactically professional course, you get all the key skills you need to have fun in the terrain. We will teach you how to master bumpy and steep cart paths in the most technically advantageous way, how to use various jumps in the terrain and how to train yourself so that you can ride virtually any off-road trail. Eschach offers us the perfect conditions for a great course: lots of green, wide paths and motivated trainers! The course can be attended both with a mountain bike as well as wit an e-bike. We are looking forward to an exciting summer with you!
Meeting & Preparation
We meet at 09:30 at our base, where we have a coffee. Here we take the chance to get to know you all better and to learn as much as possible about your goals and the fears that prevent you from reaching them. Then follow the bike check and the bike set-up, with which we make sure that your mountain bike is well equipped for the terrain.
