About This Adventure

Join us for an exhilarating mountain biking clinic where you'll master advanced skills like pressure control and jump techniques. Connect with fellow riders at a pre-clinic meet and greet, then hit the trails to apply your new skills on thrilling features. Conclude the day with a refreshing beverage and camaraderie.

The intermediate/advanced clinic we start to explore more advanced mountain bike skills such as pressure control and timing & coordination.

Sunday Morning:##

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.

Sunday Afternoon:##

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.
