Downhill MTB Training Camp - Advanced

1 riding DAY, From 160€
 

This advanced course is reserved for all those who wish to improve in downhill and already having technical skills on mtb. Under the supervision of a professional, you can benefit from their adapted and personalized technical advice which will allow you to progress at your own pace.

The camp will take place on the grounds of the Pic du Jer, several time training spot of the French national DH MTB team, and for already three years now, theater to a UCI Mountain Bike World Cup. An excellent occasion to compare your trajectories with those taken by the world’s best riders!

Optimization of bike position, trajectories, breaking, jumps, and speed maintenance techniques. All these factors will quickly become second nature.

Number of participants: From 2 to 8 people. Our groups never exceed 8 people in order to keep an optimal exchange between the instructor and the trainees.

Does your group already include more than 8 people? No problem, we can find a second instructor and thus form a second group.

Initiation course: is intended for anyone wishing to discover downhill mountain biking in complete safety, ideal for trying out the discipline and/or benefiting from technical advice that will make your mountain bike ride easier.

Advanced course: for all those who already practice downhill or enduro (or who already have some basic skills) and who wish to improve their skills in the discipline.

Given its annual 8-month riding season, the Pic du Jer is exceptional mountain biking terrain. Acclaimed worldwide for its black track featured in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup, the Pic du Jer has become in just a few years a training spot popular amongst both amateur as well as professional riders.

With no less than 3 downhill tracks and 2 enduro trails (plus a few “secret” trails), the Pic du Jer is now an unmissable mountain bike spot in the region and probably one of the best bike-parks in the Pyrenees.
