About the Instruction: For many, Buddy Riding Instruction is the optimal way to receive instruction.Each rider gets to learn by watching the other’s attempts and it gives each rider a small rest between rides.Bringing a buddy allows the recipient to bring someone who is new to Trials if they would like.Seasoned riders can add a new technique to their skill set, fine-tune a technique, or receive direction on correcting an inefficient habit.Each rider will gain personalized benefits through the ‘One-on-Two’ session of intense attention.

About the Riding Course:The Tryals Shop unique riding course offers challenges for every skill level rider, with a variety of terrain options available.Hills, off-camber turns, logs of various sizes, rock climbs, steps and ledges.The training sections are purpose-built for teaching specific techniques.In addition, with the continually marked course, riders may practice choosing their lines, improving concentration, and section problem-solving strategies for competition (if that be their goal).
