Hi, welcome to Les Gets in the Portes du Soleil.
A totally unique playground in the heart of the Alps.
just asking to be ridden.
We are lucky here, we have the infrastructure, lifts, tracks, all easily accessible to everyone, of all standards.
And particularly a coaching track to learn the basics of mountain biking.
In the following videos, I am going to take you through basic mountain biking techniques.
It is important to make sure you are well warmed up when you get on the bike,
warm up your joints, ensure you are supple and able manouver your body easily on the bike.
So that if you fall or need quick reactions you have good steering control.
Next, make sure that your equipment is in good condition.
Ensure that you have the correct tyre pressure.
Ensure that you have total contact with the break levers to control the machine,
And, ideally, be able to lower the saddle
for downhill runs : so you can move forward and backwards
as easily as possible on the bike.
And, before enjoying the beautiful tracks and for your security
always remember to wear a helmet
which will make all the difference if you fall. �
