Guided Mountain Bike Rides | Day Courses | P Why choose Dirt School? We promise.

We have one simple ethos at Dirt School - to make sure your coach has not just the paperwork but the riding credentials to match. Our work has taken us all over the world and we have been fortunate enough to work in partnerships that have given us great insight and the ability to fully deconstruct our sport and develop an in depth coaching knowledge that is based not just in textbooks but on clear results from work with psychologists, physiologists, top riders and people around the world. Making you have more fun is our passion not just our jobs. Whether it's standing trackside at the World Championships or trailside on the Blue Route at Glentress - we’re working with riders. Come and join us, whatever you ride we'll make this amazing sport better for you.

A firm favourite among our coaching staff, we’ve been seriously impressed with the Northwoods Jacket.

Designed for riding in changeable conditions, it offers the protection and versatility needed to keep you comfortable on the trails, whatever the weather.

Our Natural Trails course is designed to take your riding beyond the trail centre and develop the skills required to confidently navigate technical terrain.

Designed for riders who regularly ride red trail-centre trails, the course builds a strong foundation for tackling more challenging terrain with greater control and confidence.

Our half-day Cornering Workshop is designed for riders looking to improve their technique and make better use of traction on Blue and Red graded trails.

Throughout the session, we’ll focus on:
• Understanding and using Grip Points
• Developing effective dynamic movement
• Improving line choice to maximise traction and maintain speed
• Applying these skills through berms, flat corners and switchbacks
You’ll finish the workshop with a clear understanding of what you’re doing well, where there’s room to improve, and practical skills and drills to help you make the most of your practice time throughout the summer.

Our next workshop is taking place on the 3rd of October. Spaces are limited, with just three sports remaining! Make sure to get booked on soon to secure your place.
