  • Planing your day

      To protect yourself from minor scrapes and injuries, Bikeskills recommends that you ALWAYS wear knee protection. Gloves, eyewear / goggles and elbow protection are also recommended, but not mandatory. Of course, a helmet is always essential, ideally a mountain bike specific helmet. Lightweight full-face helmets provide additional protection.  A full-face helmet and chest protector for advanced and/or lift accessed courses is also highly recommended.

      As the class will be held outdoors, we might not have access to indoor facilities. It is recommended that you check the mountain weather forecast and plan accordingly, as mountain weather can change rapidly. Think about layering clothing to adapt to conditions, a lightweight jacket is always a good option to have.  It is recommended that each member of the group bring snacks and water to ensure they have enough energy to enjoy the class.

      Cautionary note to participants

        As we want to prepare you for a great experience, here are some notes on risk management in mountain biking.

      • Communicate your apprehensions, previous injuries and physical limitations to your coach.
      • Do not exceed your physical and technical limits.
      • All difficulties and modules such as drops and jumps are optional at all times. If needed, we can always reduce the physical and technical demands of the lesson.
      • Depending on the objective and level of the course, challenges will be progressively incorporated, from simple terrain to more complex features.
      • Before embarking on a technical section, participants must demonstrate a minimum level of mastery on flat terrain or on trails of lesser technical difficulty.
      • As with any group activity, your coach will adapt the lesson to cater to all participants. We strive to have similar level participants in our group lessons, but the reality is that it is not always possible as describing a skill level is always subjective. We can always provide additional challenges to advanced riders in simpler terrain while insuring a safe riding experience for lesser skilled riders.  Our coaches are experts at this balancing act.
      • For a technical challenge, we stop, analyze, walk the section and then engage… or not!
