MTB Skills courses - South East

Xommul

Hi Folks

My new full sussed turns up in a few weeks and i would like to do a skills course of some sort for complete beginners so i get the basics down before hitting the trails.

Anyone got experience of Skills courses/centres in the South East Nr to London area?

I have seen single track school from the surrey hills area who offer a full day for £105.

Any others about?

Cheers

What skills in particular do you want to learn. I know one very good professional skills coach, not too far away from you but he is better for jumps and technical riding rather than basic skills.

I've done private sessions with single track school and can vouch for them- expensive though

I would recommend Purple Bike Shed at Swinley and also All Biked Up in Surrey Hills

I have been on a Singletrack School day and it was great. £60 each when 3 of us booked.

Cheers guys, I will check them out. Just got the dreaded email from canyon telling me delivery date has been put back a month. Makes it awful close to my BPW trip in a Middle May! Gulp!!

I can highly recommend Clive Forth. I had a 1 - 1 session with him last year and found it really helped my riding. The thing I was most happy about was, I may have not nailed everything he taught but you leave the session understanding how your movements effect the bike and you can analyse your self afterwards. So when I am practising a manual or what ever and it doesn't go quite right, I know what I did wrong and what I should do to correct it.

He kind of travels around the country so send him an email and see if he's in your area.

This [for third vote]!
Also Nathan his young Padawan is also top notch.

Used Ukbikeskills twice now one public one private session. The ladder work is something to behold, wish I had that in my back garden!
