Courses for Hobbyists

The course helps develop riding technique and make the sport more controlled, safer and optionally faster. It works as a first course for adults and juniors on full-size bikes. We recommend Pyörä-Werneri kids' courses for smaller riders.

Participants should already use gears, brakes and other controls. No other prerequisites – the course suits both trail and bike park riders. At the end there's a chance to try the chairlift with guidance, but all course exercises are on the training area in a safe environment. We can add challenge to exercises so more experienced riders get something new. You'll practice the cornerstones of good technique and bike control in different situations. Trail etiquette, key gear and different mountain bike features are also covered.

Courses run on different themes (jump, enduro, flow, XC…) and content is always designed and delivered by industry professionals for small groups. This is the course for the best riding technique coaching!

Courses are for adults and juniors on full-size bikes who already ride basic technique smoothly. On bike park themed courses, participants should already know park rules and lift use. Participants should also know how to choose appropriate protective gear. Helmet is mandatory on all courses. Full-face helmet and knee pads are required on courses that use the lift.

The course for over 45s requires no prior mountain biking experience. We start with the easy-to-use magic carpet to get familiar with the bike and very easy trails. Once you've mastered the basics, we'll introduce you to the chairlift and experience Ylläs' famous flow trail. The goal is to give you the skills for independent lift biking on Ylläs' easy flow trails safely.
