Glentress | The Hub in the Forest | Tweed Valley

Our skills philosophy is based very much on a back to basics approach that delivers a solid foundation of core skills that can really make a difference to your riding- whatever level you are at.

We’ve split our courses for 2010 into different abilities, so that regardless of where you are at with your riding there is a course where you will feel challenged without being out of your depth.

Our courses are limited to 6 riders, include personal and video feedback (including a DVD post course of your day and your riding), and are delivered exclusively by ourselves - and as former world cup athletes from both disciplines of mountain biking (downhill and cross country), as well as having nearly 10years coaching experience each, we’ve got all bases covered for whatever you want to learn.

PLEASE NOTE: our ESSENTIALS 1, 2, 3 and Air courses are for ages 18+. If you or the person you are looking to enrol are under 18, please check out our Kids Courses >>

Like a lot of trail centres there are heaps of opportunities at Glentress to get your wheels off the ground-intentionally or not.

Essential air teaches the mechanics of jumping-so you understand what to do to get air and what to do if it happens when you don’t expect it. By understanding your riding you can have more control when you do become airborne.

You can also go on your own journey once you understand how to jump (and land) safely, so whether it’s on the Freeride or on Spooky Wood you want to fly-come fly with us.

We set our courses mostly on Fridays-Glentress can get pretty busy at weekends so it can make it difficult to stop on the trail (and the queue for carrot cake is longer).

If the dates on offer don’t suit then we can arrange other days (including weekends). Learning in a group is advantageous in our experience, but if you want 1:1 we can do that as well as private group bookings.
