Alison Dunlap MTB Beginner Skills Clinic
June 10, 2017
Colorado Springs
Coed Clinic
Our Level I clinics are designed for the person that rode a mountain bike years ago or rides on a regular basis, but lacks the confidence and technique to feel comfortable on single track. If you’re completely new to the sport and don’t know the first thing about mountain biking, then this clinic is also for you. In the Level I clinic, riders learn the basic fundamentals of riding a mountain bike:
- Basic bike set-up
- Positioning, balance, maneuvering, braking and shifting
- Mounting/dismounting your bike on steep terrain
- Cornering
- Riding up and down curbs
- Climbing and descending
- Switchbacks
- Riding varied trail conditions
You’ll also learn about vision; how to read a trail and make quick, split-second decisions on what you can and cannot ride. We’ll also spend time on trail etiquette, safety, and basic on-trail bike repairs. You’ll leave your clinic with an arsenal of new skills, a razor sharp eye for technique, and confidence that will stay with you for years to come!
