Dirt School Cycle Products at Wiggle

Dirt School was set up by Chris Ball following the realisation that there is no company that can offer mountain bikers coaching from someone who has actually been there and done it and still doing it. Why not learn how to corner, manual or jump from someone who actually can? Be it Cross country, DH or just hanging out at the trails, there’s something for you. Learn the techniques from the guys who’ve actually developed them over years of international riding and racing. With that in mind, we’ve managed to keep to our aim and are famous for our our relaxed atmosphere and mellow approach. We teach in a way we’d like to be taught. Knowing not only how to do something, but why and when. Something that few others will give you.
Our career highlights also include the front cover of Alex Rankin’s worldwide bestselling DVD Earthed 4, keynote speeches for both Napier University and Edinburgh City Council and numerous articles and photographs in Dirt, MBR, MBUK and a number of other publications.
Alongside its racing pedigree, Dirt School’s founder Chris Ball – has gained a first class Sports and Exercise Science degree and works hand in hand developing world class Scottish youth and junior mountain bike athletes with Scottish Cycling. His World Class programme has so far led Ruaridh Cunningham to a gold at the Junior World Championships. No mean feat. Andy is involved with a number of projects including The Sports Academy and Adventure Edinburgh.
At Dirt School we’re still on the cutting edge of the sport. Competing, riding and training others across all disciplines and levels. We’re constantly updating our techniques and have taught many other tutors from currently practicing businesses. We’re not relying on knowledge of the sport ten years ago... We're in the now! Come and join us, whatever you ride.
