How do I assess my level?
Assessing your own level isn’t always easy. We’re all different and have individual strengths and weaknesses, so it’s not always possible to define a level precisely. That’s why we’ve created our own level system for our courses to help you find the right fit more easily. If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to help and advise you!

Goal: Improve your technique and ride blue trails smoothly, safely, and with flow. You may also start tackling easy sections of red trails.

*** Intermediate
You have already ridden trails and spent time in the bike park. You are familiar with basic techniques such as berms, proper braking, line choice, riding over obstacles, roots, and small jumps.
