Looking to improve your riding skills? Who isn't? Firecrest Mountain Biking has just launched its Master Skills Course which aims to improve your downhill riding.

The Master Skills Course are primarily intended for riders planning to head to the mountains this summer and want to improve their technical skills. The course will prepare you by bringing together essential big mountain techniques and ensure you're ready for your trip to the mountains.

The course takes place at Aston Hill, which while it lacks the obvious gradient still has all the necessary ingredients to make sure you go away a better rider.

The course will cover cornering, adverse cambers, roots, jumps, drops and the catch-all "tech sections". Firecrest's fully qualified and highly experienced skills instructors will tailor the course program to you, so everybody goes away with some new found technique skills.

The Mountain Master courses run for between 2-4 hours with prices for one-to-one tuition from £90 - £150 per person. Group courses at £40 per person with a minimum of four and a maximum of six participants.
