What to expect…
On arrival, you’ll sign on and get kitted up before watching a short safety brief video. You’ll then meet your instructor and be assigned a bike for the day… then the fun begins! Head out into the fields to start your training – training starts off on flattish ground where your instructor will teach you the very basics of bike control and get you comfortable on the bike before gradually progressing onto ‘sections’. Sections are essentially obstacles which your instructor will mark out using coloured flags. As the day progresses, so will your skills! Each day is tailored dynamically to the ability of the group.
On the full day experience, you’ll head out for 2 hours in the morning before heading back to base for a hot homemade lunch. Once you’re refuelled, you’ll head back out for another 2 hours before the day grinds to a halt and your efforts are rewarded with a refreshing drink. You’ll leave with a huge grin on your face as you’ve just learnt to ride a trials bike!
The bikes…
Ride the latest technology with a choice of 2 full sized adults electric bikes – one has a clutch the same as a petrol bike and the other has a PRB (Progressive Regenerative Brake) which is best suited to those with a mountain biking background.
Beginners will usually start on electric bikes unless you have ridden a motorcycle offroad with a clutch before – you will then have a choice of electric or petrol bike. Petrol wise, we have Beta Evo and Montesa Cota bikes to choose from. Not ridden a bike with a clutch before? We ask that you complete a day on the electric bikes first, then come back to ride petrol once the foundations have been established.

Myself and my 14 year old son attended the beginners experience day recently. We're both competent mountain bikers but had almost no experience of riding a motorbike. I had concerns initially that it may be a little 'tame' - how wrong I was! The instructor was great and did her absolute best to make sure everyone in the group had a good time and was challenged, despite a wide range in abilities. The bikes were amazing - I was on a petrol and my son on one of the e-bikes, both of which had more than enough power for us. The set up and location is fantastic and we'd both love to return.

What an amazing experience day with great instructors. Can't wait to book again to go back. Inch perfect have a really good setup with clean facilities and top quality bikes. The lunch provided was excellent and a great portion size. The instructors are very knowledgeable and really know their stuff. Really tempted to buy a bike now....

Spent the day 27th June 2021 at Inch Perfect Trials with my 15 & 19 year old sons, and what a day it was! With virtually no motorcycle experience and great instructors we were soon getting comfortable with the trials bikes and beautiful surroundings to practice in. It was a really well organised day and one we will all remember, can’t wait to return for another session!

6 of us attended a beginner's experience day on Sunday and without doubt, it was one of the best days on a bike that we've ever had. All experienced bikers but with no trials experience, and all of us improved steadily throughout the day due to the fantastic instruction and varied terrain. Thanks to Rob and the two Paul's for a fabulous day. This place is a real gem and I know we'll be back before long! We also got some random chap from Yorkshire to pose for a photo with us! :D
