This two-day event is designed to help riders from the age of six years upwards, of any ability, improve their riding skills and technique. Approximately eight experienced trials riders will be coaching groups throughout the two days providing expert advice. All coaches are ACU trained and registered. We aim to place riders (of a similar skill level) in groups of 7 to 10 riders* to ensure they receive the most appropriate tuition.

IMPORTANT: Photographs will be taken at this event that will end up on social media. If you do not want your or your child’s photo’ on social media please tell the event secretary.

All entrants must provide their own bike to ride. Bikes ridden by people aged 17 and under must have a lanyard operated kill button and foldable foot-stand. Please ensure bikes comply with TSR1 and TSR8 of the Trials Standing Regulations posted on the ACU website. All bikes will be checked before a rider may start the training.
