Advanced Downhill
Skate Lesson
Advanced Downhill is for riders who want to push the limits of their downhill racing and freeride skills. In this class, you’ll learn to master high-speed descents, perfect your carving and braking techniques, and refine your control on technical downhill runs.
We’ll start with a review of downhill fundamentals, including body positioning and speed control, before moving into more advanced techniques like deep carves, speed checks, and advanced braking methods. We’ll also focus on cornering at higher speeds and navigating tricky sections of the hill.
Safety and confidence are key, and throughout the course, we’ll teach you how to manage your speed while maintaining control. Advanced downhill riding requires precision, timing, and a solid understanding of how to read the terrain. You’ll also learn how to handle tight turns and steep sections with ease.
By the end of Advanced Downhill, you’ll be able to confidently ride steep hills at high speeds, with the skills to navigate challenging terrain smoothly and safely.
