Welcome to Dirt School's first newsletter. Every month we hope to keep you
updated with tips on how to improve your riding, new dates for courses that
we're putting on, and generally with what we've been up to at Dirt School.

Down bellow are our new dates for the summer, including our new Level 3
XC course for advanced technique. You'll only be able to book on to the L3
if you've already been on our L2 XC Trail School, as it continues on from
there. We try and run all our Group Sessions on the Weekends, and leave the
week days free for Private Group Tuition or One to One.

So what's been happening at Dirt School? Well after successfully overseeing
the first round of the DH World Cup in South Africa, Chris is away to France
and Andorra for rounds two and three. With News just in that Steve Peat has
won in La Bresse, I'm sure there'll be plenty to celebrate in France.
There's apparently still a bit of snow on the course in Andorra though, so
we wish him all the best with that. Chris is also now working with Borders
College developing a BTec course for elite downhill mountain bike athletes.
Andy has been getting on well with his new Trek Top Fuel 9.9SL in the SXC
races. He's currently sitting in second place in the series after making the
podium in the super technical round at Aberfoyle. In fact the top two steps
were taken by competitors who have also had tuition at Dirt School in the
past! So well done to them for putting what they'd been taught in to
practice on the day.

Our DVD has received some incredible reviews globally and we've been
overwhelmed at the fantastic response from riders around the world. In fact,
Chris has just started filming our Downhill film in the last few weeks. Look
out for more info on that one soon, but it looks like it'll be a stormer and
includes how Junior World Champ Ruaridh Cunningham got his gold at Ft
William.
Speaking of which, come and see us at the World Cup in Fort William this
year. We're going to be doing taster sessions the whole weekend. Stay tuned
for more information nearer the time.

Our No Fuss Enduro days have been going down well with those who
participated in them. The feedback we've been getting sounds pretty
encouraging, so here's hoping they put it all in to practice on the day.
Good luck guys.
We're also teaming up with No Fuss Events for the Big Ben Nevis Triathlon.
Follow the link below for more details on that one.

Leatt Brace now available at Dirt School! As we're always looking for ways
to both enhance your performance and keep you on the trails, we're now able
to supply Leatt braces, the world's leading neck brace company. With the
current spate of neck injuries and the constant search for faster runs
continues, look after yourself by joining the majority of the world's top
riders. We'll have more details online by the end of the month but in the
mean time, email us with any queries and we'll sort you out.

Our Summer slots are filling up, so get in soon to see what you can really
do on your bike. Whether it's racing at elite level, sailing over jumps, or
just riding the blue routes, you'll enjoy your experience so much better if
you can ride safer, faster and with less effort with Dirt School.

See you out on the trails. All the best from all at Dirt School.
Love your riding? Love yourself.
