🎯 Course Overview

Jumps and Drops – Part 2 is the fifth step in our progressive coaching pathway, designed for riders who are confident on technical terrain and ready to push their limits. This course builds on the skills developed in Jumps and Drops – Part 1, introducing more advanced features and techniques to help you ride with greater control, confidence, and style.

The session is based at the Pedalabikeaway Trail Centre, using a combination of purpose-built skills areas and progressive downhill lines. You’ll work in a small group (maximum 6 riders) with a British Cycling-qualified coach, ensuring plenty of individual feedback and support.

This course is ideal for riders who are already comfortable on red and black trails and want to refine their jumping and dropping technique. You’ll progress through a series of carefully structured drills and trail-based coaching sessions, starting with manageable features and building up to more challenging terrain.

🧭 What You’ll Learn

This session focuses on the key techniques needed to ride larger jumps and drops with confidence and control. You’ll work on:

Pre-loading the bike – learning how to compress and release energy on take-off
Mid-air control – staying balanced and composed while airborne
Landing technique – spotting your landing and touching down smoothly on downslopes
Larger drop-offs – how to approach, commit, and land safely, even at slower speeds
Tabletop and gap jumps – understanding the difference, and how to ride each with confidence

Each skill is broken down into manageable steps, with time to practice and refine your technique. The session is progressive and supportive — you’ll never be asked to ride anything you’re not 100% comfortable with.
