Clinic format

Lets get setup

You'll learn quick pro-tips to keep you rolling on the trails with confidence. Topics covered: Rear

We will work on dialing in your mountain bike cockpits. This will include determining optimal tire pressures for various scenarios, setting your ideal brake level angle, spacing and hand grip positioning. We will also work through demonstrations of tire traction, its impact on cornering and you’ll learn how far you truly can lean your bike.

Bike-body separation techniques

Coach Eric Gasser using a iPad to help athlete see themself and refine skills.

We will work through cornering cone drills to refine your bike-body separation technique and review the 3 fundamentals (braking, stance, reading the trail). You will learn unique braking technics, the important of brake modulation and how body positioning impacts braking power. We will refine your ready and neutral positions so that they feel as natural as possible on the trail.

Find unique trail lines

We will work through trail line selection, riding unique lines that might not always be obvious and practice holding a line around a swooping descending corner. We will focus on consistent and confident turning with an emphasis on entering each corner with the exit in mind.

Utilizing the whole trail

We will work on utilizing the whole trail to maximize speed when cornering. This corner will have added obstacles to challenge your newfound skills. We will work on the aggressive ready position, learn the value of staying low and its impact on your speed, improve flow through the corner, and review important safety tips.

Increasing the speed

Athlete practicing level pedal cornering.

We will work through applying the more aggressive ready position to accommodate a corner with an increased descending angle. You will learn how to manage naturally increasing speed though a blind, off-camber corner. Together we’ll identifying the most creative, in-boundary line through the corner for increasing stability.
