Don't know what you don't know?

Discover the missing pieces of the puzzle and take your skills to the next level

It never fails to amaze us how many of our students finish their courses in total disbelief at what they have learned and achieved on their courses. They often say, "I really don't know why I didn't do this years ago!"

However, prior to trying some skills coaching, people are often sceptical about it's value; "Isn't it just like riding a bike?" However, to paraphrase an old Donald Rumsfeld quote, "There are things we don't know we don't know."

So why not take the plunge and try one of our morning, day or weekend courses (see below) and find out what you don't know you don't know? After all there's a lot more to mountain biking than just riding a bike!

For more things you might not yet know you don't know see our latest ad in this month's MBR Magazine (September issue page 19).

See you out on the trails!
