HELLSEND Progression Sessions

ABOUT

Learn how to ride Dirt Jumps at Hellsend Dirt Compound!!

The HELLSEND Progression Sessions is a series hosted by The Trails Crew at Hellsend Dirt Compound, providing a safe environment for riders to improve their dirt jumping skills under the supervision of experienced Dirt Jump Coaches.

We are excited to be opening the new Lines which were built during Darkfest for the guys and girls to warm up on.

What to expect?

We have created two 4 hour Coaching slots on Saturday that will run separately.

The Morning Beginner session is scheduled from from 9:00 - 13:00 while the Afternoon Advanced session is scheduled from 14:00 - 18:00.

Riders from the Beginner session will leave the compound and farm at 13:00, to clear the course for the Advanced session riders arriving just before 14:00.

This ensures all riders have maximum attention from coaches and receive quality Coaching and support!

The sessions are held on the Hellsend small Dirt Jump line, Middle/Hip line, Big line, Air bag, mulch jump & the pumptrack!! The small line caters for beginners who want to improve their jumping, right up to more advanced riders who are wanting to learn new tricks. They can then practice those tricks on the Middle/Hip line, Big line and the Mulch Jump.

• There will be 3 dedicated Dirt Jump Coaches at both the Beginner and Advanced sessions.
• Riders will be assigned to Coaches based on similar skill level to learn and progress in a safe and supportive environment.
• The Coaches will be focusing on guiding and assisting riders looking to learn/improve skills, set up their bikes for dirt jumping and boost their confidence!
• In the last hour of each session we will have a jam on all the jumps to give riders a chance to put their new skills into action and show what they learned!

The SRAM Air bag will be setup for riders who want to safely learn how to ride steeper jumps or practice new tricks under the supervision of coaches.
