Want to improve your technical riding skills, descend a little faster and generally feel more confident on your bike? You've come to the right place! Leave this clinic ready to tackle more technical terrain and corners with greater speed and control. Navigate bigger trail obstacles and drops with commitment! This clinic will also help you boost your speed on flat corners, bermed corners and flowing singletrack; all achieved with less pedaling and better use of the trail’s natural features. It's all about the flow!
The Plus clinic will build on many of the skills from our intermediate clinics. We continue on improving body position, slow speed balance, ratcheting, pumping, up and downhill cornering, line choice, wheel lifts and bunny hops. By the end of the course, participants should have a strong grasp of all of the above and be progressing into short manuals, larger drops, jumps and small doubles. This clinic will be more movement focused and will be more physically demanding than earlier clinics.
Participants should be comfortable on intermediate singletrack trails. You should be able to ride comfortably for over an hour at a moderate pace. All participants should have a fully functioning MOUNTAIN BIKE that is a comfortable fit. Galena Lodge has fantastic mountain bikes for rent if you don’t have your own bike yet.
