It’s all about becoming a more dynamic rider. We start by dialing in the following Fundamental Skills:
-Stability and balance through proper body position & range of motion. -Smooth flowy riding with proper trail braking. -Emergency stopping techniques. -Proper shifting techniques. -Cadence and vision- how to read a trail.
Using these skills we begin to develop maneuvers such as:
-A ‘peek n push’ for use with roll downs -Cornering - we end our morning session on different types of corners; applying the fundamentals we learned.
WE HIT THE TRAILS, practicing what we learned. Sessioning features on trail is essential to becoming a better rider.
We find features that will allow us to further develop our fundamental skills; rock gardens, rock rollers & steeps, technical climbs and descents, and more! We practice cornering on trail: Using the different style corners available we build on our fundamentals, learning how to flow through corners properly braking.
TIME TO GET OUR WHEELS OFF THE GROUND. We will focus on managing and actively responding to pressures from the terrain (compressing) as well as proper timing & coordination by going through a proper jump and drop progression including:
-Proper techniques for front, rear, level wheel lifts, and more. -Learn how to properly clear (up to) a 6-foot gap jump. -Learn how to go off (up to) a 4-foot drop. -In addition you will learn how to conquer large rock rollers, properly ride a rock garden, wheel lift over rocks/logs, ride a skinny, and more.
WE TAKE IT TO THE TRAILS!! Time to get ‘poppy and playful’.
We take our new found compression and absorbing skills to the trails; hitting ‘bump’ jumps and sessioning features like rock rollers, jumps, drops, rock gardens skinnies and more.
We finish back at the parking lot to wrap up our day and enjoy a post ride beverage with our new riding buddies.
