Join us for an exhilarating and informative mountain biking experience at Dodge Ridge! This three-hour lesson is designed to introduce participants to the exciting world of mountain biking through a focus on skill development and building confidence on the trails. If you’re a beginner looking to explore new terrain with confidence and stability, this clinic is for you.
We will cover the fundamentals of equipment, ensuring that participants have a solid understanding of their bikes and necessary gear to make the most of their mountain biking adventures. You will also work on essential skills such as stance & balance, braking, cornering and descending! This sets us up for success in the next stage of our session.
Participants will then dive into the essential skills needed to navigate trails confidently and safely. Loading chairlifts with bikes, conquering uphill climbs, mastering downhill descents, or maneuvering through tricky obstacles, our experienced instructors will be there to guide you every step of the way.
