Practice tips
General riding technique, not official guidance. Follow your MITD instructor on test day.
- Look at the gap you want to ride through, not at the obstacle.
- Press the handlebar on the side you want to turn, then straighten up smoothly.
- Hold the required speed before the obstacle, then avoid it.
Practise in protective gear. See our rider gear guide.
