Advanced mountain bike course

A fun course where you get inspired and progress with your trail cycling and train on some more technical challenges in the forest. The advanced course is suitable for all mountain bikers who have cycled a lot in the forest and want to develop further. You will be trained in both technical trail cycling and downhill cycling.

On the course you will work with active cycling / correct position on the bike, cornering, line selection and drop. We will also look at Bunny hop if there is interest.

  • Dates spring 2026: 2 May, 13 June.

Instructors: Mountainbikeskolan’s coaches have all completed our training programme, which is based on PMBAI’s mountain bike instructor training. The coaches give you personalised and constructive feedback, so that you learn according to your level.

Schedule: Your course runs between 10:00 – 15:30. If you arrive a little earlier, about 20 minutes, there is breakfast, coffee and sandwich, and you have time to arrange your possible rental bike.

The course starts at 10:00 with a gathering and review of the day’s schedule. After the meeting, we cycle out into the forest to practice the technical elements that the course contains. Back at lunch 12:15 when we eat vegetarian and locally produced food from Kafé Källtorp. At 13:00 we cycle out into the forest and apply our new skills in different places in the deep forests of Hellas! We are back at Mountainbikeskolan at 15:00 to sum up the day over a coffee.
