At Ride the Hill we believe that one of the most important parts of centre riding is continuous progression and acheivement of targets and goals, no matter what they are.

As a result of this one of the finest team of Instructors in the Country, has come together to set up the Ride the Hill Board Academy.

Lessons are available to take you right up through the ranks, no matter what your ability is (although it is essential for all riders to have had our "beginner lesson" if not already experienced)

The lessons we offer are -

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Specialist Freestyle - Specialist BoarderX - Specialist Slalom

Expert - Professional

So what are they talking about ? The new Ride the Hill Advanced Lesson .

The Advanced Lesson is ideal for riders who have reached a plateau in their riding and want to take their riding further but are being held back by their technical ability and confidence.

So what happens during the 4 hour lesson ?

To start with the instructors assess the riders ability and find out which areas the riders are aware they need / want to improve. Normally this will be, help with speed control (scrubbing off speed), precison powerslide at speed, linking turns at speed and general stance and body position.

Once any initial technical weaknesses have been ironed out the instructors head off to the BoarderX course and talk through the theory of riding the track, then onto riding the individual features (ie berms, rollers table-tops) and how to link features together.

After a short lunch break the instructors will move onto the freestyle, again starting with the theory and description of features and tricks (kickers, rails, rotations...) moving on to riding the features and pulling the tricks.

I'll definately be back for more lessons in the future and would recommend to any rider out there, everyone can push themselves more and once you do, you will enjoy the sport so much more, if that is already possible!!!"

Darren Duddy, XBP Centre

So who would benefit from the Advanced lesson?

  • Anyone who feels their riding has reached a plateau and are getting frustrated with their riding,
  • Anyone who is already riding boarderX and freestyle but more with luck than judgement,
  • Anyone who can ride their local features but struggle when presented with a new track or freestyle kicker,
  • Anyone who did not realise there is a theory behind riding both boarderX and freestyle,
  • Anyone who would like to start competing and want to be sure they have the basic technical skills to ride any track/feature.

 

What level of rider do you need to be to take part in the lesson?

Either

  • completed the Ride the Hill beginner and intermediate lesson (plus 8 hours or riding after the intermediate lesson)
  • able to link turns at medium speed
  • and able powerslide on demand and ride out of powerslide
  • perform basic aerials and rails
  • have a little experience of an intermediate level mountainboard

 

 

 

 

“I think the lesson has turned out to be a great investment. £20 for 4 hours of tips from experts is nothing and the advice was massively valuable"
