Spider is partnering with Cindy to present a three-part series of clinics to progress beginner riders to intermediate. What’s a beginner? In this case, someone who has been riding at least 6 months, feels comfortable on blues and has a degree of comfort on berms and rocks. This will sell out – max of 7 participants only.
Clinic 1-Fundamental Skills
September 12; 9am-11am
Many folks don’t learn the fundamental skills to mountain biking, thus making it difficult and dangerous to progress on to more technical terrain. This clinic will start from the beginning with the basics such as bike body separation, proper bike set up, and introduction to cornering and descending to help you feel more comfortable on the bike. Learn to ride the bike, rather than letting the bike ride you!

One of the most difficult and technical skills to learn, cornering can make or break a great day on the bike. It’s where mountain bike races are won and lost, and the technique can be elusive for many.

Clinic 3-Technical Descending
