Riders should be in good physical shape with prior mountain biking experience.
Join a dynamic mountain biking clinic in East Hampton designed to elevate your skills on challenging terrain. Perfect for intermediate and advanced riders, this day promises technical tricks, great scenery, and new camaraderie.
Join us for an exhilarating mountain biking clinic where you'll master advanced skills like pressure control and timing. Enjoy a meet and greet with fellow riders, then hit the trails to conquer jumps, drops, and rocky terrains. Wrap up the day with a refreshing drink and camaraderie among new friends.
The intermediate/advanced clinic we start to explore more advanced mountain bike skills such as pressure control and timing & coordination.
Join other participants and your Dynamic Cycling Coaches the evening before every clinic at a local venue for a meet and greet.
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.
