If the adage 'it's not the bike it's the rider' is true, then when you book a Forest Freeride coaching course you'll be buying the best mountain bike upgrade possible.

Our years of bike skills coaching experience have given us a truly in-depth understanding of not only how riders behave physically but also how they think and why they react to things the way they do. Using this knowledge and combining it with our passion for all things mountain bike, means that you'll probably not only leave with a new set of bike skills and a boost in confidence but also a totally different perspective on riding.

Have a look at the coaching page and see how we can help you become the rider you want to be.
