Dynamic Cycling Adventures runs mountain biking clinics and camps across the eastern United States. The company offers one-day and two-day clinic formats focused on core skills, intermediate and advanced techniques, and Next Level camps that concentrate on jumps, drops, and enduro skills. Women's-specific clinics are explicitly led by certified female coaches; other clinics list expert, hands-on instruction with small-group, on-trail coaching.
Clinic formats include Core Skills Clinics, Intermediate/Advanced Clinics, Next Level Jump/Drop and Enduro Camps, co-ed and women's-only sessions, and themed events such as Wheelerville Adventure. Many listings include a pre-clinic meet-and-greet and conclude with a group toast or post-ride camaraderie at the trailhead or parking area.
Dynamic Cycling Adventures schedules clinics at established trail systems and bike parks with events in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Virginia, and North Carolina. Sample locations in the schedule include Hingham and Russells Mills/Billerica (MA), Gorham and Blackstrap Hill Preserve (ME), Allenstown (NH), East Burke and Victory Hills (VT), Wheelerville Trails (NY), Blankets Creek (GA), and Ride Kanuga Bike Park (NC).
Program descriptions define the skill focus for each clinic—core techniques such as body positioning, trail braking, and cornering; intermediate/advanced topics such as pressure control, timing for jumps, and gap/drop management; and applied trail sessions to practice techniques. Riders can review individual trip listings for location, duration, coach information, and specific clinic focus to select the best fit.
