What You Will Learn

The skills covered in each camp/clinic will be based on your strengths and weaknesses and your goals.
Here are some (but certainly not all) of the more important skills that I teach. For private lessons we can work on the skills you choose or you can have me decide what skills to work on based on my evaluation of your riding

Mountain Bike Skills clinics will cover:

1. setting your bike up for your kind of riding   2. body position/balance to keep you stable and confident on the most difficult trails 3. descending skills, descend smoother, with more confidence while using less energy  4. climbing skills, climb the most technical climbs efficiently 5. braking skills, learn when and how to brake for a smooth more in control ride 6. cornering skills, from tricky off camber turns to smooth banked corners learn to get through the corners
7. over coming fears/barriers to your improvement 8. any individual skills you would like to work on

Full Suspension, riding and set up

1.  Some of my clients have been unhappy with their new bike and were wishing for their old hardtail.  Believe me, most new full suspension bikes climb and descend better than hardtails. It's just a matter of bike set up and riding style. I will show you how to set up anThe skills covered in each camp/clinic will be based on your strengths and weaknesses and your goals.
