Downhill Race Speed – Want race speed?

Downhill Race Speed is our second step onto true gravity fed riding. So if you have already attended our ‘Downhill Skills‘ then this is the course for you!

The course will be based on dedicated downhill race lines such as Cork Screw, Sheep Skull and Ski Run located at our coaching venue in the Forest of Dean – Pedalabikeaway trail centre. Each candidate will be given their own live timing chips so they can see their times throughout the sessions. The aim of this full day coaching course is to give you, the rider, the skills needed to better your times on DH trails and in races.

This is not a beginner course. You should be confident with your core skills e.g. ready position, breaking, reasonable level of fitness, and regularly ride some purposed built DH trails.

Clients will need to attend this course with a full suspension mountain bike, a helmet, gloves and body armour as you see fit.  Although a full face helmet is highly recommended, as is knee pads.

We work with small learning groups to maximise the learning throughout the day, enabling us to give constant feedback.   Additionally, we will use video analysis to help aid learning, both on the hill and back at the cycle centre cafe.

The course runs from 9.30am – 4pm, and is run by our downhill king, Seth Barrett.

This is a PUSH/ride up course.  Due to Covid 19 we are not placing our clients in vans
