A Bit about Rider Skill Level:
BEGINNER/NOVICE
You have either never ridden a mountain bike off road before.
OR...
You like riding off-road and wide dirt trails (logging tracks, doubletrack), but don’t yet have the skills and confidence to ride terrain with roots, rocks, tight corners, tight trees and steeps. You have yet to experience single track.
INTERMEDIATE
Terrain – You are comfortable riding a variety of singletrack which may include tight trees, mud, loose rocks and sand.
Obstacles – Comfortable and confident rolling over obstacles (up to 6 inches high) like roots, rocks and moderate rollable drops. You do not take your wheels off the ground.
Bike Parks – If you have ridden a bike park, you are comfortable on all green trails and easy blue trails. You roll over obstacles with ease, although keep both wheels on the ground.
Bike Skills – You are comfortable executing the following basic bike handling skills on mellow singletrack:
Shifting – you anticipate the terrain and shift gears accordingly.
Descending – you are comfortable and balanced standing up off of your seat and can maintain level pedals for the entire descent.
Speed Control and Braking – you use momentum to climb rolling terrain and are comfortable using both your front and back brakes when required.
ADVANCED
Terrain – You are comfortable riding tight trees, mud, loose rocks and sand and do so on aggressive terrain with little braking.
Obstacles – You often hop over obstacles that others may wheel lift over. You are comfortable with a front wheel lift and rear wheel lift to get up and over larger obstacles and can hit small drops (1-2 ft) with confidence.
Bike Park – Comfortable on all green, blue and black trails.
Bike Skills – You are comfortable executing the following bike handling skills on a variety of singletrack:
Shifting – you shift gears often and smoothly to keep flow on terrain.
Climbing – technical roots, rocks and switchbacks are typically no issue for you.
Descending – you use the brakes sparingly, and are happy taking some air off little rocks and roots .
Speed Control and Braking – you use both your front and back brakes independently of each other when required.
Cornering – your timing and coordination on all types of berms is solid. You are comfortable leaning your bike through the corner and exit with acceleration.
OR….
On double black trails you can be heard saying…”hold my beer, watch this”
