Advanced Guided Shuttles

Program Information

This program is designed for intermediate to advanced riders with considerable trail experience. Participants will have the opportunity to ride a variety of green, blue and black downhill trails at Fox Creek Bike Park under the guidance of our expert coaches. Along the way, they will be prompted to consider the specific skills that can be used to maximise control, safety and flow. The focus is on helping riders read the trails effectively and appropriately apply their skills with precision.

Discussions may include topics such as:

• Assessing and managing risk
• Maintaining and maximising flow
• Picking and navigating lines
• Optimising exit speed in corners
• Employing different jumping techniques
• Building speed safely

Transport from City

For those that live near the city, we provide free transport to and from Fox Creek Bike Park. We meet at City Dirt on Unley Road at 9am for departure and return at 4pm on the program’s conclusion.

More Information

What to Bring

• Your bike and helmet in good working order
• A water bottle or hydration backpack
• Snacks to help keep energy levels up!
• A packed lunch
• Any relevant medications
• Weather dependent considerations (sunscreen, rain jacket, change of clothes etc.)

Mandatory Equipment

Participants are required to bring and wear the following protective equipment at a minimum:

• Full-face helmet
• Full finger gloves
• Knee guards

Additional Protective Gear

Riders are encouraged to consider any additional protective equipment that may help them feel comfortable and confident during the session. Additional protection can provide extra assurance if you are planning to challenge yourself and may allow you to push your riding further without significantly increasing your risk of injury. Ultimately, riders are responsible for choosing the level of protection that best matches their skills, goals and comfort.

What Sort of Bike?

Riders will need a mountain bike in good working order, with functioning brakes and gears. Bikes should be suited to perform well on moderately steep downhill terrain – cross country, trail, enduro or downhill bikes are ideal. Entry-level styled bikes will suffice if ridden with care. Bikes may be either hard-tail or dual suspension types. The ends of the handlebars must be covered with handlebar plugs for safety. If you’re unsure whether your bike is suitable, feel free to contact us.
