Advance in your riding on Flat Out Days.
Advanced School lessons are for riders with a basic knowledge of riding bike and are looking to progress in their riding. Whether you're looking to ride red and black trails, or start hitting medium table jumps, this is where you build that next level confidence and style.
It's about progression in a good company, where you feel even more connected to your bike, especially on technical terrain and on jumps. You can skip any section or jump if it's too much of a progress for you - no judgement here. In groups of up to 8 riders, with one dedicated certified coach, we tailor everything to your current knowledge.
If the weather turns bad, we don't stop the lesson, unless if it becomes too much and starts raining hard, hailing or a thunderstorm rolls in. If so, we shift indoors for a more advanced bike setup knowledge and maintenance tips, and video analyzing.
- Lessons run 4h each day, with a short snack break.
- Recommended for riders with solid mountain bike basics (if you're still learning foundations, check our Beginner School first).
- Basic protection is required: helmet, knee pads and gloves.
- Groups are formed by skill level with up to 8 riders.
- School runs in Slovenian, German, and English 🇸🇮🇩🇪🇬🇧.
Push further on advanced trails:
- correct body position on steep terrain,
- precise braking and cornering on technical sections,
- controlled handling and line choice,
- building comfort on medium table jumps and flow features.
No rush, no pressure, but a fun and safe space, where we are riding like a crew on different terrain and trails to bring your riding on a higher level.
