Once you're all setup with pads and a helmet and have been issued with a board, you will be taken onto the nursery slope. Our nursery slope has a gentle gradient with a good width with a grass and then earth barrier at the bottom, so you're not going to crash into anyone or anything. The grass is kept short for a smooth ride and the tyre pressure on your board will be low so that you can't race away completely out of control. After being shown how to attach your leash and the correct foot position in the bindings, the lesson will begin. During the lesson you will learn how to start and stop, turn and generally control the board and your speed. Everything will be thoroughly explained and demonstrated by your instructor. A history of skateboarding or snowboarding will certain help, the way you turn the board and the stance are slightly different, but the general idea is pretty much the same.

The 'Introduction to mountain boarding session' will last 2 hours, the lesson will last up to an hour long, so you'll have plenty of time to experiment with your new found skills. However if you are at a competent level after 20 minutes, you'd then have 1 hour 40 minutes to ride the slopes.

We have built runs and small tracks specifically for beginners, they contain features such as rollers, small table tops, doubles (easily rollable) and berms (banked corners). Certain parts are very easy and others are more challenging, hopefully you should find enough to keep you entertained for a few hours.
