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.
