Description

Our new Academy Cards are finally here!

A set of 5 metal, laser-etched cards that display a range of skills to help develop your riding, broaden your skillset and categorise your riding level. Tick them off as you go and keep them forever as a souvenir and a reminder of your progress.

The metal cards are designed to have additional hands-on functionality – hand tools (or even power tools!) can be used to customise them with your name (engraving or stamping) and also mark off each skill with either a stamp or a hole, giving hands-on experience of using tools and creativity.

Each pack comes with 4 supplementary cards:

  • Trail Etiquette – 10 rules for MTB riding to help maintain our community and reputation.
  • First Aid – emergency procedures cheat sheet with space to write personal emergency information in case of an accident.
  • Bike Settings – basic recommended settings for tyres and suspension, with space to record your own for reference.
  • Rider Notes – a handy space to record your input from coaches or peers and self-analysis from videos.

They come in a leather-style metal case with a magnetic closure, along with a small pencil for writing notes.

The riding skills are suitable for all ages – you don’t have to be a part of our club or even be coached by us to use the system.

The metal and paper cards are also easily recyclable but we hope this is a life-long investment in your riding skills!
