Your learning path

Levels 0–3 – from first steps to the bike park

Short & clear: here is how your learning path is structured.

Core idea: Our skills progression follows the official curriculum from Cycling Austria. You don’t just learn random things – you learn in a proven sequence that builds on itself. Each level has a clear goal, so you know exactly where you stand and what the next step is.

Riding Confidence Icon

Level 0

Riding Confidence

Your safe start on the bike.

  • Basic position & balance on the bike
  • Braking, starting off and dismounting safely
  • First easy trails & building confidence

This suits you if you’ve just bought an (e-)MTB, are getting back into it after years away, or feel unsure on the bike.

Fundamentals Icon

Level 1

Basic & Safety Skills

Your solid foundation on the trail.

  • Trail behaviour & where to look
  • Controlled braking & balance
  • Simple obstacles & first trails

This suits you if you’ve got the basics down and want to move more confidently on easy trails.

Trail Skills Icon

Level 2

Trail Skills

You take your basics out into real terrain.

  • Line choice & cornering on the trail
  • Climbing & descending in the terrain
  • Combining your core techniques

This suits you if you already ride trails but often have to push or keep getting stuck at the same spots.

Advanced Icon

Level 3

Master Skills

More dynamics, flow & demanding lines.

  • Active riding, pumping & weight shifts
  • Bunny hop, rear-wheel repositioning, drops
  • Jumps, steep terrain & bike park lines

This suits you if you ride regularly and want to work specifically on technique, style or key sections.

Course flow

How a course works

1. Warm-up & goal check

An easy roll-out, bike check and a quick chat: what do you want to take away today? That way we start with focus.

2. Practice area

Targeted drills on flat ground: isolate the technique, understand it and repeat – until it sticks.

3. Transfer to the trail

What you’ve practised goes out onto the trail – applied in real terrain, with coaching by your side.

4. Individual feedback

Personal feedback, video analysis and tips for your training at home.

Which level suits me?

How fit do I need to be?
